Elections
November 1 | Plan C November 8 Election Endorsements
This November brings another important election to San Francisco. In 2010, moderates made significant progress at City Hall, swinging the political pendulum closer to its stable center. This year is no different: with a crowded mayoral field and eight ballot initiatives, we need your help to continue our momentum and promote a moderate slate of candidates and ballot measures.
Below are Plan C’s formal endorsements that will appear in our Plan C Voter Guide. Please be ... | Read More >
August 7 | Moderate Wins and Election Endorsements
There is good news for San Francisco moderates – a number of proposals from the “progressive” Supervisors that were set to show up on November’s ballot have been shelved. The proposals to gut Care not Cash, prohibit fees for parks and the anti-demolition ordinance were pulled from the November ballot after a number of the supervisors withdrew their support of the initiatives. The Board of Supervisors also tabled an ill-advised change to Healthy San Francisco that would have been a ... | Read More >
August 4 | A Great Week for the Moderates
Are the progressives in retreat mode? Over the past week, we’ve witnessed some promising developments at City Hall. Last week, we saw Jane Kim and Eric Mar back away from a plan that would “gut” the Care-Not-Cash initiative. Only John Avalos is left as an outspoken supporter. You can read more about this story here.
This week, two ill-advised measures have been pulled from the upcoming election ballot. The first would have prohibited demolition of large housing developments, the other barring the ... | Read More >

December 10 | TIC Voters a Factor in 2010 Supervisor Races
Tenancy-in-common (TIC) owners played a direct role in San Francisco supervisor races for the first time in the November 2010 election. These voters, typically young, first-time homeowners, have become increasingly frustrated in recent years as City Hall has done nothing to address the lengthening wait behind the condo lottery (condo conversion provides significant benefits to TIC owners, but San Francisco allows only 200 condo conversions per year – a number that is woefully inadequate). A board of supervisors ... | Read More >
December 3 | Help Influence SF’s New Interim Mayor
Plan C encourages you to take the opportunity to impact the choice of the interim mayor. Mayor Gavin Newsom has won the election as Lieutenant Governor and is scheduled to take the oath of office on January 3, 2011. The newly elected Board of Supervisors will not take office until January 8, 2011, therefore the current Board of Supervisors would have the right to select the interim mayor. This important decision has the potential to have an impact far ... | Read More >
November 17 | November Election Results
The last of the 2010 election results in the supervisor races are finally in. We’re happy to report that many of Plan C’s endorsed candidates won their supervisor seats – and most exciting, that our own Plan C board member Mark Farrell will be the new supervisor from District 2! This year was an important one for the moderates of San Francisco, as some of the vacating seats are occupied by extreme progressives. Now that the dust ... | Read More >
