SF has not one, not two, but 5 recall opportunities coming up with the first being the big one — Gavin Newsom.
Because many of you are not in CA and so not experiencing the true weirdness of this circus we’re calling the Gubernatorial Recall Election, here are some of the candidate statements from The Official Voter Information Guide.
From Holly L. Baade/Democratic
Leadership for a brighter tomorrow.
That’s it. That’s her whole statement.
From Heather Collins/Green
Green Party. Immigrant Small Business Owner
Not even a final period.
Angelyne/No Party Preference
Angelyne Billboard Queen. Icon. Experienced politician.
I’ve got no idea where the politician, let alone experienced politician bit comes from.
Jeremiah “Jeremy” Marciniak/No Party Preference

This one is longer, but kinda typical, from Daniel Mercuri/Republican
As a father, Jesus is my foundation. As a veteran, I still honor my oath. As a business owner, I believe we are a community not a profit margin. As a patriot, I will fight to starve the government feed the people.
[sic] — All misplaced modifiers, poor grammar, and missing words and punctuation marks are his (though I really want to know what “government feed the people” is now.)
Dan Kapelovitz/Green
Can you dig it?
Adam Papagan/No Party Preference
Love U
John R. Drake/Democratic
John is a recent community college graduate with a degree in Political Science. His continuing educational focus is Government and Policy-Making
Looking at his picture, I think he’s over 18….
Anyways, you get the idea.
If I get a chance, I’ll write a bit about the other 4 as they come closer. They are, in their own unique ways, very San Francisco.
