We've Finally Got a Real San Francisco Mayoral Debate, Happening on June 17
After two scheduled debates crashed and burned, we’ve finally got a true mayoral debate with all five major candidates on the same stage, scheduled for June 17 at UC Law San Francisco.
There should have already been two debates in this year's San Francisco mayor’s race, but there have been zero.
The first had been scheduled for May 20, and was to be hosted by the political action committee Together SF Action, who brought you those bizarro “That’s Fentalife!” ads. But there’s so much overlap between Together SF Action and the Mark Farrell campaign that both Mayor London Breed and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin ditched that debate to have their own competing debate the same night. Amidst all the accusations and chaos, both debates were canceled.
Well, we are finally getting a real debate with all five candidates on the same stage. The San Francisco Democratic Party announced Friday that they’ve scheduled a mayoral debate for Monday, June 17 at 7:30 pm. The debate will be held at the UC Law San Francisco building, and will have all five major candidates: Breed, Peskin, Farrell, plus Supervisor Ahsha Safai and Daniel Lurie.
