Political experts perceived it as a missed opportunity: After all, his allies have for decades decried California as too liberal for the rest of the nation — \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-california-record-democrats/\">partly why there has never been a California Democrat elected president\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jury is still out on how much Harris’ California ties could hurt her chance among undecided voters. For most Michigan and Arizona voters who spoke to CalMatters last month, Harris’ record in the White House \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-california-record-democrats/\">mattered more\u003c/a> than her California brand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who repeatedly mispronounced Harris’s first name, also blamed Harris for federal economic and border policies and insisted he outperformed her \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/presidential-debate-kamala-harris-donald-trump/\">during the debate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Harris campaign’s rapid response team \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/KamalaHQ\">posted about some of Trump’s statements\u003c/a>, but has not directly responded to what he said about her record or her home state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much of the many, many things Trump said about California and Harris’ record is accurate? Here’s our fact check on some notable claims:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>State of the state\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said\u003c/strong>:\u003cbr>\n“California has the highest inflation, highest taxes, the highest gas prices, the most illegal aliens, the most regulations, the most expensive utilities, and it ranks as the third worst state to start a business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts\u003c/strong>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Inflation\u003c/strong>: Inflation rates fluctuate month to month. Florida had the highest inflation at 4% as of March, while California had the seventh highest, at 3.6%, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/04/09/states-highest-lowest-inflation/73184932007/\">analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics data\u003c/a> by Moody’s Analytics. Even according to U.S. Senate Republicans’ own inflation tracker, as of August, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/california-inflation-report/\">California\u003c/a> ranked 5th for increased monthly inflation costs since January 2021 and had a cumulative inflation rate lower than Florida and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republicans/state-inflation-tracker\">other states in the West region\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Taxes:\u003c/strong> California does have the highest state sales tax at 7.25%, but \u003ca href=\"https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/2024-sales-taxes/\">ranks 8th\u003c/a> in total state and local sales tax rates this year, according to the Tax Foundation. California’s property tax rate is at 0.75%, \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/mortgages/property-tax-by-state\">the 34th highest\u003c/a> of all 50 states. The state also has a progressive income tax rate while other states have a flat rate for all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Gas prices\u003c/strong>: It is true. California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>. The national average is $3.23.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Unauthorized immigrants\u003c/strong>: California is estimated to have the largest population of undocumented immigrants, at \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/\">1.8 million\u003c/a>, based on a Pew Research Center estimate of 2022 Census figures. But California is also the only state where that population decreased from 2019 to 2022, while the populations in Republican-led Florida and Texas grew the most.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Utility rates\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a\">As of June\u003c/a>, Hawaii — not California — had the highest electricity rates, averaging 42.4 cents per kilowatt hour for residential customers, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In California, residential customers paid an average of 33.0 cents per kilowatt hour. \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/living/monthly-utility-costs-by-state/#states_with_the_most_expensive_utilities_section\">A Forbes analysis\u003c/a> of monthly utility bills by state ranked Alaska the most expensive, followed by Hawaii, Connecticut, West Virginia and Georgia.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Worst state to start a business\u003c/strong>: It depends which ranking you look at, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/best-states-to-start-a-business/#state_by_state_ranking_the_best_states_to_start_a_business_section\">according to Forbes\u003c/a>, California is the 37th best state to start a business this year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Crime in California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> Trump blamed the “destruction” of San Francisco on Gov. Gavin Newsom and Harris. He said murders rose “significantly” and car thefts “went through the roof” while Harris was state attorney general. He argued that Harris was lenient in prosecuting several cases, that she had endorsed defunding the police and that “the police don’t endorse her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Crime stats\u003c/strong>: When Harris was California attorney general between 2011 and 2017, homicide rates fluctuated, with an average of 1,819 homicides — or 4.7 per 100,000 people — each year, according to \u003ca href=\"https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2023-06/Crime%20In%20CA%202022f.pdf\">the state Department of Justice\u003c/a>. Vehicle thefts ebbed and flowed, averaging 164,000 or 424.9 per 100,000 people. Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it. Harris remained neutral on various ballot measures about reducing penalties for low-level offenses and \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/29/kamala-harris-california-criminal-justice-00171490\">allowing earlier release for more offenders\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Defund the police\u003c/strong>: It is true that Harris \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/30/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-false-statement-that-kamala-h/\">expressed support for redirecting some money\u003c/a> and “reimagining” public safety during her 2020 presidential campaign, weeks after George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, sparking waves of protests against law enforcement. “This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities,” she said at the time. After President Joe Biden tapped her as his running mate, however, she denounced the “defund” movement.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Police endorsements\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4865127-law-enforcement-endorse-kamala-harris/\">More than 100 law enforcement officials\u003c/a> — including sheriffs, former and current police chiefs and FBI agents — endorsed Harris last week.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004813\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004813\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several people are seating facing a split screen showing a man and woman.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/091024_PresidentialDebate_FM_CM-04-scaled-1-1920x1281.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People watch the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris at KQED headquarters in San Francisco on Sept. 10, 2024. \u003ccite>(Florence Middleton/CalMatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Immigration and the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> He lambasted Harris for supporting “sanctuary cities” for undocumented immigrants while she was San Francisco’s district attorney, claiming she shielded “illegal aliens” who committed murders and refused to deport them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Sanctuary city policy\u003c/strong>: The San Francisco city ordinance — which prevented officials from handing over unauthorized migrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement even if they committed a felony — \u003ca href=\"https://www.factcheck.org/2024/08/trumps-false-and-misleading-claims-about-harris-record-on-crime/\">dates to 1985\u003c/a>.

Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year. Ramos was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/SF-killer-Edwin-Ramos-sentenced-in-triple-slaying-3625545.php\">sentenced to life in prison in 2014\u003c/a>, and Aguilera was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/s-f-gang-member-sentenced-in-teen-s-slaying-4847595.php\">in 2013\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>Homelessness\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What Trump said:\u003c/strong> “After Kamala Harris and Gavin Newscum took charge of San Francisco, homelessness increased by over 200%.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facts:\u003c/strong> Homelessness has grown in California, but not by that much.

California does have the highest gas price of all states, at $4.76 a gallon as of today, \u003ca href=\"https://gasprices.aaa.com/?state=CA\">according to the AAA\u003c/a>.

Both rates were far lower than during the 1990s.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Leniency\u003c/strong>: Despite claims she’s soft on crime, Harris has a mixed record. As a local prosecutor, Harris \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">did not pursue the death penalty against a cop killer\u003c/a> — a case Trump used during the press conference to justify his claim. But years later, Harris prosecuted a woman with mental illness for assaulting police officers. As California’s attorney general, Harris defended \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2024/08/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-san-francisco/\">the state’s death penalty\u003c/a> even though she personally opposed it.

Similarly, Trump mentioned the case of Rony Aguilera, a Honduran immigrant who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 2008. It is true city officials did not turn him over to federal agents at the time — under the sanctuary city policy that Harris helped change that year.

Local news to keep you rooted. If you want to win over San Francisco, you’re going to have to win over the Chinese American community, which makes up nearly 22% of the city’s population. And Chinese Americans have a long history of political organizing in the city. From the fight to desegregate schools to advocating for safe, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:21] And so mayoral hopefuls really see this as an activated and significant voting bloc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] For this voting bloc, public safety is a top issue in this year’s mayoral race.

There’s also on the west side in the Richmond the Sunset. It’s a little bit more suburban. You have some more homeowners and families also Viz Valley, you know, in the southeast corner of the city, a little more working class, a little bit more diverse. And, you know, these candidates are looking at all of those neighborhoods really closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:25] And you mentioned Chinese American voters being very active for many years on many different issues.

But in recent years, there was a real spike in attacks against Asian Americans here in San Francisco and across the country. And San Francisco in particular, really became a hub for stop AAPI hate activism. And that energy carried over and public safety kind of ballooned into this top issue for a lot of these voters in the 2022 election season. We saw that energy harnessed and Chinese Americans really showed up to the polls for the school board recall and the district attorney recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] And you went to actually talk to Chinese American voters.

We want to make sure that they’re not they’re safe on the, you know, the buses that they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:17] Diane pulled no punches. She said she’s a moderate Democrat, but that she’s just fed up. Even though rates around violent crime and retail theft are lower right now. But she said that there’s just this feeling of, you know, discomfort and disarray that she hasn’t been able to kick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:35] And I’m sorry, I didn’t ask her name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I’m Fiona. Fiona, your Sydney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:39] Fiona Tan grew up around San Francisco. She is attending college and is home right now for summer and is working on Aaron Peskin’s campaign as a volunteer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:50] I think the big thing for me is like it seems like the public safety is a big issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] You know, she really wants to see community solutions for issues that have been going on around public safety since Covid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:04] You know, there’s been a lot of Asian hate, and I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed. You know, somebody pushed into the subway not too long ago this year and things like that were just, you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:15] At the end of the day, I think it’s really about how people feel when they’re doing their daily activities. Can I buy groceries for my family? Is my street clean and can my children walk home safe from school? And, you know, I really have heard from some folks things as extreme as, you know, trying to increase incarceration and increase that type of accountability. But also a lot of Chinese American voters who are like, we need to keep people housed and work on these root causes of some of these crimes, like poverty, and how do we improve that within our own communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:48] I think everything stems from that one issue of public safety. And I think if we can address that, we can address everything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:56] So what are the different ways that these mayoral candidates are trying to win over Chinese-American voters like Diane and Fiona?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah. You know, there there is a lot of overlap in terms of actual policies that they’re putting forward. You know, a lot of the candidates are saying we want a fully staffed the police department. Things like increasing foot patrols. But there is kind of a wide gulf between how the candidates are leaning into public safety as a topic. Some kind of further on the right are really leaning into that fear and that feeling of discomfort that has lingered from the pandemic. And then you have others that are kind of trying to talk about that. The city is already improving and we’re trying to make that better and bring people together. So how how candidates are actually talking about this can vary, but this political spectrum that we’re working with here is all moderate Democrats for the most part, you know, minus Peskin, who leans a little bit more progressive from that as well. Aside from just the, you know, conversations and rhetoric, candidates are also trying to show that they’re not just, you know, talking the talk. So they’re hiring chiefs of staff that are Chinese American. They’re hiring volunteers, different age brackets to speak with their communities and share messages on WeChat and get out there and speak in their native languages. And so that is really a big focus of these campaigns as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:36] Yeah. Let’s talk about how some of these candidates are trying to court Chinese-American voters, starting with Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:46] Are we ready yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:48] Well, Breed has been, you know, really out and about this whole election season, getting in front of voters and Chinese American voters in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] It is because of our Chinese community that we are on the map as a global city with one of the.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:04] I recently attended a event that she had in Chinatown at a restaurant where she was surrounded by merchants and community leaders who were announcing their support for her to be reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:18] And why so many of these incredible leaders are here to support me today is because they know that I have been very aggressive about ensuring San Francisco’s place on the global stage. The, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] Breed admitted to some of the real struggles at the city, and that community in particular were going through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:40] The rise in anti-Asian hate impacted this neighborhood more than any other neighborhood in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:47] But then she comes around that and says, but look at what we’ve done. And she talks about things like increasing surveillance tools for the police, which was something that she got passed on the March ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] And now, as crime is at its lowest, its lowest in over ten years, it’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] And so she was really trying to come out and say, hey, look, we are doing more to address safety. And look, we are supporting police here. And at the same time, you know, in all of that, trying to make these voters believe that the city is on a better track and that Breed is the one who’s steering that ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:27] Yeah, she sort of has the tough job of trying to convince people that she has been doing something about this, this feeling of an increase in crime rate because she is the incumbent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] Right. And it’s a hard line to walk because you also can’t deny, you know, and invalidate voters concerns and voters fears, but trying to convince them that you are doing more and that things are on a better track at the same time is is a really tricky line to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:59] Now, let’s talk about Mark Farrell. And can you actually even remind us who he is and how he’s sort of been trying to court Chinese American voters in the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:14:09] Yeah. Mark Farrell is a former supervisor and was actually an interim mayor in San Francisco. And he has been coming out with some of the most pro-police proposals of any of the candidates. He’s talked about ordering a state of emergency in his first 100 days and having the National Guard with boots on the ground in San Francisco. Like other candidates, too, he wants to fully fund the police department. He wants to increase police academy is throughout the year, wants to increase police salaries and expand city wide bans on things like illegal vending, increase law enforcement, foot patrols and presence around areas like U.N. Plaza and the Tenderloin. He’s also taken opportunities like the recent shooting of a 49ers player near Union Square to say Breed’s efforts to make the city safe are lagging. You know, Breed said that was a crass, opportunistic play and defended the city’s crime stats. But, you know, it’s really been sort of this attack on how San Francisco hasn’t done enough to make people feel safe. And that has really been Mark Farrell’s approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:16] It is together that we will win this election in November and we will bring San Francisco back and make sure that is the public safety that we all deserve here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:15:26] I went to an event recently in this valley with Mark Farrell, where he was surrounded by Chinese American elders, and he was announcing his endorsement from the Sheriffs Association. You know, he pretty quickly started talking about just how things like crime and he mentioned homelessness have gotten out of control in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:46] Right. When you talk to people and they see the local Walgreens and CBS stores getting looted every single day in front of their own eyes, that doesn’t make them feel safe in their neighborhoods. When you have specific communities like our AAPI community here in San Francisco have hate crimes just against them because of the color of their skin or who they look like. That to me is unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:07] And that there needs to be a change in city hall and someone who’s going to be tough on crime. I think really, you know, he’s been focusing on pointing out the real problems at the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] We have had failed leadership in city hall under Mayor Breed in terms of public safety. Not only our police department, not only our fire department. And as we’ve talked about today in our sheriff’s department, we need a mayor who’s going to prioritize it. Once again, I will do exactly that as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:32] Sounds like he’s speaking very much to the people who don’t like how things might be working in San Francisco right now. Right. And Daniel Lurie, the the Levi Strauss heir sort of is also positioning himself as this outsider candidate. How have you seen him courting Chinese-American voters as probably the lesser known candidate in the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:57] You know, I think one thing that Daniel’s been doing to court any voter across the city is is actually leaning into that fact that he’s an outsider and saying, look, the people that I’m running against have been in city hall and they got us into this mess. And Lurie, as you know, he founded this nonprofit called The Tipping Point, which is a big anti poverty nonprofit. He’s saying, I can translate this experience and change some things in city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:17:22] The store owners and the merchants on that street. Many AAPI store owners say to me every single time I’m out there, public safety is sort of their number one issue in Chinatown. Public safety’s their number one issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:37] In terms of public safety. There are still some overlaps with opponents on on all sides that he’s up against. You know, he also wants to declare a state of emergency, although he doesn’t plan to bring in the National Guard and have boots on the ground. So there’s some similarity and difference there with Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:59] I recently followed Daniel Lurie around the sunset night market, which, you know, this is a really prominent Asian American community. There was just tons of food and music and people. It was a great time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:15] Looking forward to any particular snacks or bites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:18] I don’t know what’s in there yet. The only problem I have is I end up wanting to eat something at every thing, and by the end of the first block, I’m stuffed. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:28] But it was really interesting to see Lurie, you know, just communicating with everyday voters and also just seeing the questions that they came up to him with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:18:36] How are you going to get rid of the homeless?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:38] We’re going to get them in the shelter. We’re going to get them bus tickets home and then we’re going to get those that are suffering on our streets. We’re going to get them into mental health and drug treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:18:47] And then last but not least, there is San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin, whose district includes Chinatown. And I imagine there’s a lot less introducing he probably has to do in the Chinese American community, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:02] Yes. He has been the supervisor for Chinatown and North Beach and really, you know, is well known in those communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:10] Hey, Kevin. Kevin Aaron Peskin here running for mayor. Yeah, I’ve been here before. Would love to have your support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:17] I walked around with him in the Richmond, so on the west side of the city and actually you could see some of that, you know, awareness translating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:26] I’m Aaron and I’m running for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Voter \u003c/strong>[00:19:28] Of course. I’ve met you before at Red’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:30] At Red’s! Oh, back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:33] There were people coming up to him who said, My friend lives in Chinatown and calls you the bearded one and. Yeah. And so some of that experience, it seems, has translated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:44] When I go walk. Clement Street, Irving Street Tariff, Noriega. And I know a lot of people because I wasn’t the supervisor who only showed up at election time. I’ve showed up like 52 weeks a year in Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:59] And Aaron is also talking about things like increasing some police salaries, basically how to keep police on the force. He’s also been really touting things like bringing in all Cantonese speaking force of officers to Chinatown. I will say also, you know, Aaron, being the most progressive candidate in this race, I think is really trying to define his approach by focusing on some of the external factors related to crime, related to safety, and talking to voters about what would also make them feel safe, in addition to, you know, making sure that the police department is fully staffed and having those systems running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:20:47] Well, I want to move on to the takeaways here, Sidney. Is there any one of these candidates who we know is rising to the top for Chinese American voters right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:20:56] I think it’s really hard to say. You know, San Francisco also has a ranked choice voting system, which makes this all even more potentially interesting. And but it one way to look at this could be just the different endorsements that some of these leading candidates have gotten. You know, Breed got the backing of the Chinatown Neighborhood Association, various merchants and the police union, which really speaks to her public safety push. Peskin has the Chinese Tenants Association backing him. It’s the largest tennis association in the city. And on top of that, he’s put forward a proposal to expand rent control across the city just recently. Farrell, meanwhile, has won over the Chinese American Democratic Club, which has leaned a little more right on some issues recently. And then Lurie has gotten backing from people like former police commander Paul Yap and Betty Louie, a Chinatown community advocate. So, you know, it seems like they’re all real, really still fighting to get different slices of this demographic ahead of the election. And, you know, we’re really just going to have to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:01] One thing I’m wondering is like, what do we make of the fact that there isn’t much differentiating these candidates on the issue of public safety? Like, is this really going to be the issue, public safety, that’s going to make or break one candidate’s chances with the Chinese American community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:22:21] You know, even though there’s plenty of polling saying that public safety is, you know, the number one issue in San Francisco right now, and for Chinese American voters, improved public safety, you can look really different to different people. You know, many just want to see a policing system that responds fast and is accountable. They want to feel safe in their communities. So I think that this is going to be an issue that drives people to the polls. But how different candidates are squaring away with what their public safety vision is will probably be where voters end up shaking out. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:59] Well, Sydney, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:23:01] Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Local news to keep you rooted. If you want to win over San Francisco, you’re going to have to win over the Chinese American community, which makes up nearly 22% of the city’s population. And Chinese Americans have a long history of political organizing in the city. From the fight to desegregate schools to advocating for safe, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:21] And so mayoral hopefuls really see this as an activated and significant voting bloc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] For this voting bloc, public safety is a top issue in this year’s mayoral race. Today, what candidates for mayor are doing to win over Chinese American voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:42] Chinese-Americans in this city have had a long history of political organizing and activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:49] Sidney Johnson is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:53] Some of the larger neighborhoods where this community is concentrated include Chinatown, which historically has a lot more renters. There’s also on the west side in the Richmond the Sunset. It’s a little bit more suburban. You have some more homeowners and families also Viz Valley, you know, in the southeast corner of the city, a little more working class, a little bit more diverse. And, you know, these candidates are looking at all of those neighborhoods really closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:25] And you mentioned Chinese American voters being very active for many years on many different issues. But what is rising to the top for a Chinese American voters this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:06:36] Over the years, polls have shown that issues that rise to the top for Chinese Americans in San Francisco are things like education and housing and affordability, you know, kind of just daily life issues. But in recent years, there was a real spike in attacks against Asian Americans here in San Francisco and across the country. And San Francisco in particular, really became a hub for stop AAPI hate activism. And that energy carried over and public safety kind of ballooned into this top issue for a lot of these voters in the 2022 election season. We saw that energy harnessed and Chinese Americans really showed up to the polls for the school board recall and the district attorney recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] And you went to actually talk to Chinese American voters. What is this the the range of things that you heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:36] They said that things, you know, maybe feel a little bit better right now, but that’s compared to some of the worst days of the pandemic and they still don’t feel safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:45] Hopefully. Yeah. What’s troubling you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:47] Yeah. Everything? Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] I met Diane Lee at the Sunset Night Market a couple of Fridays ago. She was walking around with a couple of her girlfriends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:57] Well, the homeless, right? Crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:00] She said she’s lived here almost her whole life, but she’s never felt less safe than she does now and is worried about her grandchildren growing up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:08:09] I mean, they’re 12 years old. We want to make sure that they’re not they’re safe on the, you know, the buses that they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:17] Diane pulled no punches. She said she’s a moderate Democrat, but that she’s just fed up. Even though rates around violent crime and retail theft are lower right now. But she said that there’s just this feeling of, you know, discomfort and disarray that she hasn’t been able to kick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:35] And I’m sorry, I didn’t ask her name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I’m Fiona. Fiona, your Sydney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:39] Fiona Tan grew up around San Francisco. She is attending college and is home right now for summer and is working on Aaron Peskin’s campaign as a volunteer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:50] I think the big thing for me is like it seems like the public safety is a big issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] You know, she really wants to see community solutions for issues that have been going on around public safety since Covid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:04] You know, there’s been a lot of Asian hate, and I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed. You know, somebody pushed into the subway not too long ago this year and things like that were just, you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:15] At the end of the day, I think it’s really about how people feel when they’re doing their daily activities. Can I buy groceries for my family? Is my street clean and can my children walk home safe from school? And, you know, I really have heard from some folks things as extreme as, you know, trying to increase incarceration and increase that type of accountability. But also a lot of Chinese American voters who are like, we need to keep people housed and work on these root causes of some of these crimes, like poverty, and how do we improve that within our own communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:48] I think everything stems from that one issue of public safety. And I think if we can address that, we can address everything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:56] So what are the different ways that these mayoral candidates are trying to win over Chinese-American voters like Diane and Fiona?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah. You know, there there is a lot of overlap in terms of actual policies that they’re putting forward. You know, a lot of the candidates are saying we want a fully staffed the police department. Things like increasing foot patrols. But there is kind of a wide gulf between how the candidates are leaning into public safety as a topic. Some kind of further on the right are really leaning into that fear and that feeling of discomfort that has lingered from the pandemic. And then you have others that are kind of trying to talk about that. The city is already improving and we’re trying to make that better and bring people together. So how how candidates are actually talking about this can vary, but this political spectrum that we’re working with here is all moderate Democrats for the most part, you know, minus Peskin, who leans a little bit more progressive from that as well. Aside from just the, you know, conversations and rhetoric, candidates are also trying to show that they’re not just, you know, talking the talk. So they’re hiring chiefs of staff that are Chinese American. They’re hiring volunteers, different age brackets to speak with their communities and share messages on WeChat and get out there and speak in their native languages. And so that is really a big focus of these campaigns as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:36] Yeah. Let’s talk about how some of these candidates are trying to court Chinese-American voters, starting with Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:46] Are we ready yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:48] Well, Breed has been, you know, really out and about this whole election season, getting in front of voters and Chinese American voters in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] It is because of our Chinese community that we are on the map as a global city with one of the.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:04] I recently attended a event that she had in Chinatown at a restaurant where she was surrounded by merchants and community leaders who were announcing their support for her to be reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:18] And why so many of these incredible leaders are here to support me today is because they know that I have been very aggressive about ensuring San Francisco’s place on the global stage. The, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] Breed admitted to some of the real struggles at the city, and that community in particular were going through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:40] The rise in anti-Asian hate impacted this neighborhood more than any other neighborhood in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:47] But then she comes around that and says, but look at what we’ve done. And she talks about things like increasing surveillance tools for the police, which was something that she got passed on the March ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] And now, as crime is at its lowest, its lowest in over ten years, it’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] And so she was really trying to come out and say, hey, look, we are doing more to address safety. And look, we are supporting police here. And at the same time, you know, in all of that, trying to make these voters believe that the city is on a better track and that Breed is the one who’s steering that ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:27] Yeah, she sort of has the tough job of trying to convince people that she has been doing something about this, this feeling of an increase in crime rate because she is the incumbent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] Right. And it’s a hard line to walk because you also can’t deny, you know, and invalidate voters concerns and voters fears, but trying to convince them that you are doing more and that things are on a better track at the same time is is a really tricky line to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:59] Now, let’s talk about Mark Farrell. And can you actually even remind us who he is and how he’s sort of been trying to court Chinese American voters in the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:14:09] Yeah. Mark Farrell is a former supervisor and was actually an interim mayor in San Francisco. And he has been coming out with some of the most pro-police proposals of any of the candidates. He’s talked about ordering a state of emergency in his first 100 days and having the National Guard with boots on the ground in San Francisco. Like other candidates, too, he wants to fully fund the police department. He wants to increase police academy is throughout the year, wants to increase police salaries and expand city wide bans on things like illegal vending, increase law enforcement, foot patrols and presence around areas like U.N. Plaza and the Tenderloin. He’s also taken opportunities like the recent shooting of a 49ers player near Union Square to say Breed’s efforts to make the city safe are lagging. You know, Breed said that was a crass, opportunistic play and defended the city’s crime stats. But, you know, it’s really been sort of this attack on how San Francisco hasn’t done enough to make people feel safe. And that has really been Mark Farrell’s approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:16] It is together that we will win this election in November and we will bring San Francisco back and make sure that is the public safety that we all deserve here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:15:26] I went to an event recently in this valley with Mark Farrell, where he was surrounded by Chinese American elders, and he was announcing his endorsement from the Sheriffs Association. You know, he pretty quickly started talking about just how things like crime and he mentioned homelessness have gotten out of control in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:46] Right. When you talk to people and they see the local Walgreens and CBS stores getting looted every single day in front of their own eyes, that doesn’t make them feel safe in their neighborhoods. When you have specific communities like our AAPI community here in San Francisco have hate crimes just against them because of the color of their skin or who they look like. That to me is unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:07] And that there needs to be a change in city hall and someone who’s going to be tough on crime. I think really, you know, he’s been focusing on pointing out the real problems at the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] We have had failed leadership in city hall under Mayor Breed in terms of public safety. Not only our police department, not only our fire department. And as we’ve talked about today in our sheriff’s department, we need a mayor who’s going to prioritize it. Once again, I will do exactly that as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:32] Sounds like he’s speaking very much to the people who don’t like how things might be working in San Francisco right now. Right. And Daniel Lurie, the the Levi Strauss heir sort of is also positioning himself as this outsider candidate. How have you seen him courting Chinese-American voters as probably the lesser known candidate in the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:57] You know, I think one thing that Daniel’s been doing to court any voter across the city is is actually leaning into that fact that he’s an outsider and saying, look, the people that I’m running against have been in city hall and they got us into this mess. And Lurie, as you know, he founded this nonprofit called The Tipping Point, which is a big anti poverty nonprofit. He’s saying, I can translate this experience and change some things in city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:17:22] The store owners and the merchants on that street. Many AAPI store owners say to me every single time I’m out there, public safety is sort of their number one issue in Chinatown. Public safety’s their number one issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:37] In terms of public safety. There are still some overlaps with opponents on on all sides that he’s up against. You know, he also wants to declare a state of emergency, although he doesn’t plan to bring in the National Guard and have boots on the ground. So there’s some similarity and difference there with Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:59] I recently followed Daniel Lurie around the sunset night market, which, you know, this is a really prominent Asian American community. There was just tons of food and music and people. It was a great time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:15] Looking forward to any particular snacks or bites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:18] I don’t know what’s in there yet. The only problem I have is I end up wanting to eat something at every thing, and by the end of the first block, I’m stuffed. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:28] But it was really interesting to see Lurie, you know, just communicating with everyday voters and also just seeing the questions that they came up to him with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:18:36] How are you going to get rid of the homeless?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:38] We’re going to get them in the shelter. We’re going to get them bus tickets home and then we’re going to get those that are suffering on our streets. We’re going to get them into mental health and drug treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:18:47] And then last but not least, there is San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin, whose district includes Chinatown. And I imagine there’s a lot less introducing he probably has to do in the Chinese American community, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:02] Yes. He has been the supervisor for Chinatown and North Beach and really, you know, is well known in those communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:10] Hey, Kevin. Kevin Aaron Peskin here running for mayor. Yeah, I’ve been here before. Would love to have your support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:17] I walked around with him in the Richmond, so on the west side of the city and actually you could see some of that, you know, awareness translating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:26] I’m Aaron and I’m running for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Voter \u003c/strong>[00:19:28] Of course. I’ve met you before at Red’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:30] At Red’s! Oh, back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:33] There were people coming up to him who said, My friend lives in Chinatown and calls you the bearded one and. Yeah. And so some of that experience, it seems, has translated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:44] When I go walk. Clement Street, Irving Street Tariff, Noriega. And I know a lot of people because I wasn’t the supervisor who only showed up at election time. I’ve showed up like 52 weeks a year in Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:59] And Aaron is also talking about things like increasing some police salaries, basically how to keep police on the force. He’s also been really touting things like bringing in all Cantonese speaking force of officers to Chinatown. I will say also, you know, Aaron, being the most progressive candidate in this race, I think is really trying to define his approach by focusing on some of the external factors related to crime, related to safety, and talking to voters about what would also make them feel safe, in addition to, you know, making sure that the police department is fully staffed and having those systems running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:20:47] Well, I want to move on to the takeaways here, Sidney. Is there any one of these candidates who we know is rising to the top for Chinese American voters right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:20:56] I think it’s really hard to say. You know, San Francisco also has a ranked choice voting system, which makes this all even more potentially interesting. And but it one way to look at this could be just the different endorsements that some of these leading candidates have gotten. You know, Breed got the backing of the Chinatown Neighborhood Association, various merchants and the police union, which really speaks to her public safety push. Peskin has the Chinese Tenants Association backing him. It’s the largest tennis association in the city. And on top of that, he’s put forward a proposal to expand rent control across the city just recently. Farrell, meanwhile, has won over the Chinese American Democratic Club, which has leaned a little more right on some issues recently. And then Lurie has gotten backing from people like former police commander Paul Yap and Betty Louie, a Chinatown community advocate. So, you know, it seems like they’re all real, really still fighting to get different slices of this demographic ahead of the election. And, you know, we’re really just going to have to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:01] One thing I’m wondering is like, what do we make of the fact that there isn’t much differentiating these candidates on the issue of public safety? Like, is this really going to be the issue, public safety, that’s going to make or break one candidate’s chances with the Chinese American community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:22:21] You know, even though there’s plenty of polling saying that public safety is, you know, the number one issue in San Francisco right now, and for Chinese American voters, improved public safety, you can look really different to different people. You know, many just want to see a policing system that responds fast and is accountable. They want to feel safe in their communities. So I think that this is going to be an issue that drives people to the polls. But how different candidates are squaring away with what their public safety vision is will probably be where voters end up shaking out. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:59] Well, Sydney, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:23:01] Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In doing so, she added her voice to a chorus of concerns over the technology and its potential for election-related misinformation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The image \u003ca href=\"https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/112984762512136574\">reposted by Trump\u003c/a> last month on Truth Social, his right-wing social media platform, shows Swift posing Uncle Sam-style and saying she “wants YOU” to vote for Trump. The former president added a message: “I accept!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Tuesday’s debate, Swift expressed alarm over the doctored image in \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C_wtAOKOW1z/\">her Instagram post\u003c/a> endorsing Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Recently I was made aware that AI of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around AI and the dangers of spreading misinformation,” she wrote. “It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As much as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13963687/taylor-swift-fans-election-kamala-harris-trump-swifties\">Swift’s fans\u003c/a> were outraged by the photo — and some called on her to denounce it sooner — one AI expert says that a less partisan and provocative use of AI could pose a bigger threat to election integrity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lucas Hansen, a co-founder of the Berkeley-based AI knowledge nonprofit CivAI, said two kinds of AI content are at play in the election: inflammatory posts, like the one of Swift, as well as a post on social media site, X from Elon Musk that shows Harris donning a red suit with a communist hammer and sickle symbol, and other content that’s aimed less at angering voters and more at affecting their behavior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In New Hampshire, for example, some voters received robocalls ahead of the March primary election using an assumed AI-generated voice resembling that of President Joe Biden. The calls told voters to “save their vote” for the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12000310 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/240815-CITYATTORNEYDEEPFAKES-06-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was discouraging people from turning out to the primary in New Hampshire, and that’s not inflammatory, but it can be substantially more effective,” Hansen said. “I think a lot of the highest impact things that we’ll see before and during the election are of that type.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To show what AI is capable of, CivAI has been modeling other ways that it could be used to impact voting in the run-up to election day. Hansen said that could look like doctored news articles that resemble real publications publicizing a fake suspected shooting near a polling place or misinformation telling voters that they can avoid paying to park at a polling place by showing up to a certain location during a very tight time frame, “close to when polls close and not a legitimate place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s more likely that voters will be tricked by this kind of AI-generated content than by deepfakes of the candidates or celebrities like Swift, according to Hansen, who expects to see production of this kind of content ramp up — especially in swing states and targeting swing voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another CivAI model shows how AI might use highly personalized content to target voters. One of its demos uses LinkedIn to find out a person’s top concerns and writes them an email about a fake, plausible-sounding tax or regulation supposedly proposed by a candidate on one of those issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansen tried it out on his sister, a freelance artist. The email to her said Biden planned to impose additional taxes on freelancers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s so targeted and so specific that a lot of people just wouldn’t think that’s possible to do right now at any sort of automated level,” Hansen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Mehta Stein, the executive director of the nonpartisan watchdog group Common Cause, said that conspiracy theorists who believe election fraud is rampant could also use AI to mimic the sophisticated systems that elections officials run to detect duplicate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can use AI to mimic that work, but with none of the controls and none of the safeguards” that elections officials use, he said. “You can create hugely erroneous lists of voters that you want to challenge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inflammatory content is also still a concern, especially as high-performing AI tools become more accessible. About a month ago, X added a beta version of Grok 2.0 for its premium members, which is an AI image generation feature using a tool from Black Forest Labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the first extremely easily available image generation tool that’s high quality,” Hansen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12002254 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/ScottWienerAP1-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though many people can detect such deepfakes, some are tougher to spot, he said — like one photo posted on X of Trump giving a thumbs up, surrounded by people wearing shirts that say “Walz’s for Trump.” It was captioned, “The *entire* Tim Walz Family just endorsed Donald J. TRUMP for President 2024!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/walz-family-nebraska-trump-elelction-2f2e29586b0e9ebe094ff2cf546e1ae4\">\u003cem>Associated Press\u003c/em>\u003c/a> confirmed that some distant cousins of the Democratic vice presidential nominee did pose for a separate photo in Trump shirts, the image that showed Trump surrounded by supposed Walz relatives was AI-generated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansen said that even as someone with a lot of experience detecting deepfake images, this one didn’t have any of the normal “tells,” like messed up hands or background blurring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he said these images are often debunked and mostly sow division, he “expect[s] that we’ll see a large increase in the volume of those sorts of debates as a result of how accessible Grok is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stein said the most significant risk could be how this content affects voters’ trust in politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The danger is not that 10,000 voters will be deceived by a deepfake and change who they’re voting for,” though it’s possible, he said. “The danger is that 10 million voters who are awash in disinformation between now and Election Day throw up their hands and say, ‘Forget it, I’m not voting at all.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bigger impact of the fake photos of Swift might be her response itself — since her post pointing people to vote.gov, the site has received more than 337,000 visits as of Wednesday afternoon, \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/elenammoore/status/1833936170301960507?s=46&t=7BBzFwo6eYLzJIVfAlumEQ\">according to \u003cem>NPR\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
