To Jenkins’ campaign and her supporters, the process illustrates the rift within San Francisco’s Democratic party. It also endorsed District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who voters in the overwhelmingly Democratic city recalled in June.
That was the strategy employed by District Attorney Brooke Jenkins’ campaign this week during the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee’s endorsement process.
Not a single vote in the ranked-choice process was cast for Jenkins, whose campaign instructed supporters — including prominent politicians who have publicly endorsed her — to cast a vote for “no endorsement.” It’s a common strategy employed by a candidate who knows they’re unlikely to win an outright endorsement.
“Due to members abstaining and lowering the vote threshold, he was able to squeak by and earn the endorsement with barely a third of DCCC votes,” said Anika Steig, a Jenkins campaign consultant. “The DCCC endorsed Chesa Boudin and has now endorsed a candidate who has stated that the DA's office should be defunded. The body is out of step with San Francisco voters who want a safer City.

House OKs bill to avert government shutdown, aid UkraineThe Democratic-led House passed a short-term spending bill on Friday that finances the federal government through mid-December and provides another infusion of military and economic aid to Ukraine as lawmakers acted to avert a partial government shutdown set to begin after midnight. The measure next goes to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law. Democrats said passing the bill was important to helping Ukraine as well as victims of recent natural disasters in the U.S., including Hurricane Ian, as it provides a Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster fund with a year's worth of money up front rather than for two-and-a-half months.
