Former candidate for District 10 Supervisor Tony Kelly. File photo by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

November 16, 2010<\/p>\n

Tony Kelly today conceded defeat in the race for District 10 Supervisor.<\/p>\n

Though the final vote tallies from the ranked-choice race<\/a> have not been officially certified by the San Francisco Department of Elections, Malia Cohen, a liberal Democrat, is the presumed Supervisor-elect for the District.<\/p>\n

Though Kelly garnered the most first place votes in the first round<\/a>, Cohen benefited from second and third place votes from fellow contenders Lynette Sweet and Eric Smith, among others in the twenty-one candidates race.<\/p>\n

“Tonight, I offered my congratulations to District 10’s next Supervisor, Malia Cohen,” said Kelly, a progressive, in an email. “I came in second in the ranked-choice runoff, by a few hundred votes.”<\/p>\n

“I am very proud of the grassroots campaign that we built over the past year,” Kelly added. “We had more donors from District 10 than anyone, more volunteers from District 10 than anyone, and just as many first-place votes in District 10 as any other campaign. So we know the voters heard us. They, like us, want a Supervisor who will listen to all our concerns, bring real progressive ideas to the Board, and ensure that the City’s resources work much harder for the people of District 10.”<\/p>\n

“Neighborhood leadership is not about one person, or one campaign. The alliances that came together during this year must continue, and I urge everyone interested in my candidacy to work with Supervisor Cohen, to show City Hall how to create local jobs, clean up our environment, support our families, and use common sense ideas to fix our budget. In years to come, we will all continue to fight for the people of District 10 with courage, compassion, better ideas and hard work.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
