The Deadline

I officially filed my nomination papers at City Hall. Last count? Nine candidates for District 3 Supervisor.


I had a great turn-out for my volunteer kick-off on August 2nd. So many people came to show their support and walk precincts on a warm, gorgeous Saturday. Even my 86-year-old friend Rhoda Feldman; what a loyal trooper. Days like that make all the really hard work worthwhile and keep me going on the trail.

How many debates are there? I’ve lost count: August 20th, September 3rd, September 10th, September 23rd, October 2nd. Could it be the record year for candidate forum debates? Questionnaires are rolling in on a daily basis: SF Bicycle Coalition, SF 4 Democracy, the Young Democrats…

Summer is waning, autumn is in the air, and the campaign kicks into high gear. I am the only true independent in the race that will represent the citizens of District 3 and the city, with no strings attached. I have lots of under $50 donations from regular working people, and I’m taking public finance, which matches contributions from San Francisco donor. It’s really grassroots.

I’m beginning a new program, Lynn Listens. You can meet me at coffee shops in the district, and let me know what‘s on your mind. My first one is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27th, from 5:30-7:00pm at Nook (1500 Hyde St. @ Jackson). Please drop by; I’d love to hear from you.
