Senior and People with Disabilities Vote! Candidates for SF Mayor

This photo  shows how many people showed up at the CARA-sponsored forum to hear the candidates for S.F. Mayor--and they really were listening--listening and hissing when the first-to-speak candidate (Michelle Bravo) used the word "feral" to describe homeless people and then apologized, etc.

I was worried when Jane Kim, Angela Alioto, and Mark Leno hadn't shown up by 1:30, but I think Leno made it in at 1:31, and the others followed soon after, and there wasn't really a noticeable "break."  Sandra Mack, the MC who had to deal with the uncertainty, was very gracious!

We knew in advance that Richie Greenberg wasn't coming; he declined right away, and London Breed had also declined--not at first but eventually. 

The candidates who showed up were Michelle Bravo, Ellen Lee Zhou,  Amy Farah Weiss, Mark Leno, Angela Alioto, and Jane Kim.  

I think it's great that CARA invited all the candidates so we got an idea of who's out there and how they compare to one another.

I think the score card was a good idea too--holding the candidates to addressing every question and asking it again when they didn't!

Angela Alioto, Amy Farah Weiss, and Ellen Lee Zhou really stuck around for the second part, which was nice.
