Sanders butts in into local State Senate primary and endorses the incompetent Jane Kim

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders took a giant step into San Francisco politics Tuesday, endorsing Supervisor Jane Kim in the wide-open contest for the city’s state Senate seat.

The endorsement — and his email blast asking his supporters to send money to Kim — instantly started the cash flowing.

“The response has been incredible,” said Eric Jaye, a consultant for Kim’s campaign for the 11th state Senate District seat. “The phones started leaping off the hook (Tuesday) morning as soon as he sent the message out to his donors.”

By early afternoon, nearly 1,000 people had given more than $25,000 to Kim, Jaye said.

The money is welcome. Kim, the progressive’s choice in the race to replace termed-out state Sen. Mark Leno, has been outraised more than 2-to-1 this year by her more moderate opponent, Supervisor Scott Wiener. On April 23, the end of the most recent state financial reporting period, Wiener had just under $800,000 in the bank, compared with about $360,000 for Kim.

But Kim waited until six days before the Superbowl to ask for a new deal between the City and the Superbowl Cmmittee. And after five years in office she accomplished nothing at all.
