Matt Dorsey

I will remind everybody it is very much free to get six supervisors to put something on the ballot.

Let me tell you, Prop C, an affordable housing measure that I am all in on, worked with Supervisor Myrna Melgar.

All 11 supervisors are supporting this.

Affordable housing advocates, tenants groups.

It'll be the largest increase in affordable housing spending in our city.

I will make sure of it.

I'll work with all.

the supervisors on it as well.

The politicians want to get away from this as much as they want to do anything else.

Members of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors also rescinding support Thursday, including Bilal Mahmood, Stephen Sherrill and Matt Dorsey.

In a statement, Yukutiel says, After a great deal of reflection, I have made the difficult decision to end my campaign for District 8 supervisor.

As I said from the very beginning, I am not a typical candidate.

Ben.

Stephen Sherrill is endorsed by, among others, and this is going to become very familiar, Mayor Lurie and Supervisors Dorsey, Mandelman, Mahmoud, Melgar, and Sauter, along with the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee, or DCCC.

So keep those names and that group in mind as we go through some of these other districts.

Stephen Sherrill actually did just win an election.

So he right now is actually competing against a few people, Jeremy Julian Greco, who is one of my local grocers at Other Avenues, and Albert Chow, who used to run one of my local hardware stores at Great Highway.

But they also don't really have a lot of written support or endorsements, so they don't have a lot of money behind their campaigns.

So, Alan Wong, similar to Stephen Sherrill, is endorsed by Mayor Lurie and Supervisors Chen, in this case, Dorsey, Mandelman, Mahmoud, Melgar, Sherrill, and Sauter, as well as the DCCC.

I can run through some of these pretty quickly, because Matt Dorsey is also essentially running unopposed.

But somebody did go up and his story matters because this isn't a left-right thing and I don't want it to sound like one.

Back in July, The Standard ran a profile, again by Maggie Angst, of a San Francisco supervisor named Matt Dorsey who was openly in recovery himself.

And he'll tell you it was crystal meth that finally took him down.

And the story opens on an artist named Daniel McLennan who got into city-subsidized housing in 2023 and was grateful just to be off the street until the place turned into what he called Hell on earth, overdoses and fights every single day.

I mean, I get it for them to do that because they were trying to clean it up or whatever, but we need these things that way we can actually get on our feet.

Supervisor Matt Dorsey represents the SOMA district and says that closing window front services such as this are part of reviving the area.

As we're talking about revitalizing Market Street and bringing back stores and shops, it's not helping the neighborhood that we're sort of putting city-funded nonprofits into all these storefronts when we should be opening those up for some businesses.

Still, some business owners we spoke with say closing the center doesn't address underlying problems.

Yeah, like a f***ing livestock farm.

It's exactly what we're being treated like.

Supervisor Matt Dorsey argues more police are needed to help.

We have a model that works, but we're also not utilizing it enough.
