Hugo Santana is owner of Red Rooster Taqueria and The Greyhound bar and beer garden at The Crossing at East Cut.Mark Farrell’s mayoral campaign committee reported in a disclosure Thursday that it is sharing expenses with a committee he formed to support a pair of initiatives on the November ballot.
Farrell’s campaign argues that this setup is legal and that Farrell is genuinely — and strongly — advocating for the government-reform measure his campaign was formed to support. Joe Arellano, campaign spokesman for Mayor London Breed, argued in a statement that Farrell is “using a loophole to skirt campaign finance limits and receive endless amounts of cash for his campaign.”Farrell’s ballot-measure committee accepted a $45,000 donation from billionaire William Oberndorf’s company, Oberndorf Enterprises LLC, on June 2, according to a disclosure that covers the first two weeks of June.
Farrell was fined $191,000 by The City’s Ethics Commission — an amount later lowered to $25,000 under the terms of a settlement — for campaign-finance violations duringUnder the terms of the settlement, The Ethics Commission acknowledged that Farrell was not directly aware of — and did not authorize — the activity that resulted in campaign finance violations. However, Farrell did accept “ultimate responsibility” for the actions of his campaign.
Peskin countered that TogetherSF’s ballot measure was cooked up in a back room without public input, and that Farrell’s committee supporting the proposal has little to do with improving San Francisco government. Arellano now serves as spokesperson for her mayoral campaign. Eric Kingsbury, who earned $33,500 working for the ballot measures, now works as Breed’s mayoral campaign manager.
It wasn’t long ago that overdose-prevention sites were a cornerstone of San Francisco’s plan to combat the fentanyl crisis. Daniel Lurie contends that the lethality of fentanyl has “changed the game” and that he will not support such a facility, while former interim Mayor Mark Farrell has outright blasted “harm reduction” as a philosophy and The City’s overreliance on it in addressing the fentanyl crisis.
The practice is one of several methods routinely supported by public-health experts to combat overdose deaths. They fall under the umbrella of “harm reduction” — a term that has become a political insult as candidates support abstinence-only recovery and, which the Department of Public Health drafted in 2022 and earned Board of Supervisors approval.
“You could cross out the word prevention and put in the words ‘gay marriage,’ and those were the exact same arguments that were made,” Safai said. Breed, meanwhile, has distanced herself from harm reduction as a methodology, garnering headlines when she said at a rally earlier this year that the harm-reduction approach The City has developed during her time in office is “making things worse.”to address the fentanyl crisis if elected mayor, with Lurie claiming that his would enable “rapid deployment of his comprehensive behavioral health plan.
