I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And a similar share of households who moved from the streets into permanent or temporary shelters remained housed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that count reflects work done before Mahan took office in January. And the mayor’s push to open new temporary shelters has moved painfully slow. To date, Mahan has only reached about 30% of his goal to create 1,000 new shelter spaces in 2023 — and is only about halfway toward his related goal of opening 1,000 temporary housing units by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But without a tough reelection fight, as appears increasingly likely, Mahan can turn his attention to toppling the labor-backed majority on the council, said Diep, the former city council member. Competitive seats in the North San José and Evergreen neighborhoods are up for grabs, and labor groups are eyeing an opportunity to win the District 6 seat in Willow Glen, currently held by termed-out Councilmember Dev Davis, a moderate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election is going to be about picking up allies so he can finally get around to doing the things that the voters have sort of put him there to do,” Diep said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

To date, Mahan has only reached about 30% of his goal to create 1,000 new shelter spaces in 2023 — and is only about halfway toward his related goal of opening 1,000 temporary housing units by the end of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But without a tough reelection fight, as appears increasingly likely, Mahan can turn his attention to toppling the labor-backed majority on the council, said Diep, the former city council member. Competitive seats in the North San José and Evergreen neighborhoods are up for grabs, and labor groups are eyeing an opportunity to win the District 6 seat in Willow Glen, currently held by termed-out Councilmember Dev Davis, a moderate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "Can Steve Garvey Unite California Republicans in His Bid for US Senate? | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>In two of the last three U.S. Senate elections in California, the Republican Party has failed to advance a candidate out of the top-two primary to the general election — one of many electoral indignities the state GOP has suffered in its decadeslong decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To avoid that fate in 2024, the GOP will need to consolidate its shrinking share of the electorate around a single candidate in the March 5 primary — and hope Democrats split their allegiances among the three current frontrunners: Reps. Katie Porter, Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican with perhaps the best chance to unite GOP primary voters is former baseball star Steve Garvey, whose campaign has paired a glory-days nostalgia with relatively moderate positions on issues like guns and abortion. To continue his rise in the polls and crack the top two, Garvey must now find a way to “cannibalize” conservative votes, said Mark DiCamillo, poll director for the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, which released \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/39s2g21k\">new polling numbers\u003c/a> on Friday.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kristin Olsen, California Strategies\"]‘I’m not sure anyone can unite the party right now. But I do think [Garvey] may have a better shot than most because of the fame and charisma.’[/pullquote]“He would need to become the favorite among all Republicans in order to get himself higher in the polls,” DiCamillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/39s2g21k\">IGS\u003c/a> poll, Porter stands at 17%, with Schiff at 16% and Garvey at 10%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former All-Star and World Series champion who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, Garvey is the highest-profile Republican to launch a Senate run in California since former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina’s unsuccessful bid more than a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Garvey, who \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11963999/baseball-legend-steve-garvey-launches-bid-for-feinsteins-senate-seat\">waited until October to officially launch his campaign\u003c/a>, now faces a sprint to introduce himself to voters, raise money and fend off two other Republicans in the race: businessman James Bradley and attorney Eric Early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just getting a candidate on the November ballot will be an uphill battle for Republicans in the Senate race. California has a top-two primary system, which means voters can select any candidate, regardless of political party. Only 24% of voters in the state are registered as Republicans, and the party has struggled to make inroads with independent and moderate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus far, Republicans have divided their votes among the top three GOP contenders in the Senate race, which could dilute the Republican vote and complicate the GOP path to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garvey still sits outside of the top two, some of the underlying numbers are encouraging for him. Not only has he leaped ahead of Bradley (7%) and Early (4%) among likely voters, but he is the top choice among voters who identified as “strongly conservative” or “somewhat conservative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, Garvey — known as “Mr. Clean” during his playing days — appears to have room to grow. The IGS poll found that roughly a third of voters who identify as “strongly conservative” or “somewhat conservative” are undecided in the race — compared with just one in five “somewhat liberal” or “strongly liberal” voters who are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly, said the recent speakership fight in Congress shows the challenge of uniting fractious GOP constituencies around a common purpose. But she said Garvey, due to his career on the baseball diamond, has the advantage of being well-liked and better known than the other Republicans in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not sure anyone can unite the party right now,” said Olsen, now a partner at the consulting firm California Strategies. “But I do think he may have a better shot than most because of the fame and charisma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garvey, who has never run for public office, could face headwinds over some of the positions he has staked out early in the campaign, which seem antithetical to the party’s right-wing base. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11963999/baseball-legend-steve-garvey-launches-bid-for-feinsteins-senate-seat\">told KQED in October that he opposes a national ban on abortion\u003c/a>, a view in line with the majority of California voters, who last year \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-health-california-89310197d2b3bd3e3ba806620dd2bdbb\">approved a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights\u003c/a> in the state. On gun safety, he supports waiting periods and “very stringent background checks” for gun purchases.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"senate-2024\"]Bradley and Early, meanwhile, have run campaigns more closely aligned to the conservative views held by their party’s grassroots. Bradley, who ran for Senate in 2018 and 2022, has vowed to target critical race theory and support “deep state investigations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, who ran for state attorney general in 2018 and 2022, is aiming to outflank Garvey among the party faithful. He has already picked up endorsements from county Republican parties from Yolo to Santa Barbara, and on Tuesday, he nabbed the support of the California Republican Assembly, the state’s oldest grassroots GOP organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Garvey moving to the center, let’s say, runs the risk of losing Republican voters, or certainly some Republican voters, to someone who is tacking to the right, which is what Early seems to be doing,” said Darry Sragow, publisher of the California Target Book, a nonpartisan election guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sragow said Garvey can’t afford to turn off members of the party base. In recent California elections, few moderate voters have been willing to vote for Republican candidates, and Garvey may not garner enough support from those voters “to compensate for what he loses on the right,” Sragow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of an explicit push to consolidate the Republican vote, Garvey’s campaign plans to present him as the most viable Republican candidate — both in terms of his potential to appeal to a broad range of voters and his capacity to raise ample funds for statewide advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eric Early has earned the respect of the political operation,” said Luis Alvarado, a GOP political strategist who is not working in the race. “But those operatives also want to win, and at the end of the day, if they see that they have an opportunity to elevate their party candidate through Steve Garvey, they’re going to decide that they’re going to coalesce around Steve Garvey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many unknowns could shape the Senate-race landscape between now and the start of voting in February. An endorsement from Trump could propel any of the Republican candidates into the general election, as it did for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2018/05/president-trump-endorses-john-cox-for-governor/\">John Cox in a crowded gubernatorial primary\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign machinations unique to the top-two format could also come into play. If, for instance, Barbara Lee, a Bay Area liberal stalwart, who currently sits at 9% in the IGS poll, can chip away at support from Porter and Schiff in the coming months, Garvey’s path to the general election could become clearer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garvey or other Republicans could try to bolster Lee ahead of the March vote, a move similar to what Democrats did last year when they funded advertisements for Early in the attorney general primary to elevate the conservative lawyer over his moderate opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it becomes a three-way battle among the Democrats, they could be dividing their support evenly,” DiCamillo, of the IGS poll, said. “That might even make it possible for Garvey to come in second even if his support is only in the 20% range or 25% range. So there’s a lot of variables in play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Katie Porter, Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican with perhaps the best chance to unite GOP primary voters is former baseball star Steve Garvey, whose campaign has paired a glory-days nostalgia with relatively moderate positions on issues like guns and abortion. To continue his rise in the polls and crack the top two, Garvey must now find a way to “cannibalize” conservative votes, said Mark DiCamillo, poll director for the Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, which released \u003ca href=\"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/39s2g21k\">new polling numbers\u003c/a> on Friday.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

California has a top-two primary system, which means voters can select any candidate, regardless of political party. Only 24% of voters in the state are registered as Republicans, and the party has struggled to make inroads with independent and moderate voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thus far, Republicans have divided their votes among the top three GOP contenders in the Senate race, which could dilute the Republican vote and complicate the GOP path to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Garvey still sits outside of the top two, some of the underlying numbers are encouraging for him. Not only has he leaped ahead of Bradley (7%) and Early (4%) among likely voters, but he is the top choice among voters who identified as “strongly conservative” or “somewhat conservative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most importantly, Garvey — known as “Mr. Clean” during his playing days — appears to have room to grow. The IGS poll found that roughly a third of voters who identify as “strongly conservative” or “somewhat conservative” are undecided in the race — compared with just one in five “somewhat liberal” or “strongly liberal” voters who are undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristin Olsen, a former Republican leader in the state Assembly, said the recent speakership fight in Congress shows the challenge of uniting fractious GOP constituencies around a common purpose. But she said Garvey, due to his career on the baseball diamond, has the advantage of being well-liked and better known than the other Republicans in the race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not sure anyone can unite the party right now,” said Olsen, now a partner at the consulting firm California Strategies. “But I do think he may have a better shot than most because of the fame and charisma.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garvey, who has never run for public office, could face headwinds over some of the positions he has staked out early in the campaign, which seem antithetical to the party’s right-wing base. He \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11963999/baseball-legend-steve-garvey-launches-bid-for-feinsteins-senate-seat\">told KQED in October that he opposes a national ban on abortion\u003c/a>, a view in line with the majority of California voters, who last year \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/abortion-us-supreme-court-health-california-89310197d2b3bd3e3ba806620dd2bdbb\">approved a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights\u003c/a> in the state. On gun safety, he supports waiting periods and “very stringent background checks” for gun purchases.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bradley, who ran for Senate in 2018 and 2022, has vowed to target critical race theory and support “deep state investigations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early, a staunch Donald Trump supporter, who ran for state attorney general in 2018 and 2022, is aiming to outflank Garvey among the party faithful. He has already picked up endorsements from county Republican parties from Yolo to Santa Barbara, and on Tuesday, he nabbed the support of the California Republican Assembly, the state’s oldest grassroots GOP organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Garvey moving to the center, let’s say, runs the risk of losing Republican voters, or certainly some Republican voters, to someone who is tacking to the right, which is what Early seems to be doing,” said Darry Sragow, publisher of the California Target Book, a nonpartisan election guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sragow said Garvey can’t afford to turn off members of the party base. In recent California elections, few moderate voters have been willing to vote for Republican candidates, and Garvey may not garner enough support from those voters “to compensate for what he loses on the right,” Sragow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of an explicit push to consolidate the Republican vote, Garvey’s campaign plans to present him as the most viable Republican candidate — both in terms of his potential to appeal to a broad range of voters and his capacity to raise ample funds for statewide advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

An endorsement from Trump could propel any of the Republican candidates into the general election, as it did for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/elections/2018/05/president-trump-endorses-john-cox-for-governor/\">John Cox in a crowded gubernatorial primary\u003c/a> in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign machinations unique to the top-two format could also come into play.

So there’s a lot of variables in play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Roughly 93,000 signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot, according to state recall rules, which were communicated to the recall campaign a few weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County rules would’ve seen the recall campaign need about 73,000 signatures. Having to gather an additional 20,000 signatures may cost a campaign more than $200,000, Ross estimated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” he said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Alameda County Counsel Donna Ziegler released a statement saying the county did not know if it should follow state recall rules, or what is laid out in the county’s charter. The difference between state and county rules is key because each has distinct timelines and signature thresholds for a recall election to take place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Grisham, a principal officer of the recall effort and a crime victims’ advocate whose 17-year-old son was shot and killed in east Oakland in 2010, said the campaign has more than 1,900 volunteers signed up to gather signatures, though about 50 were deployed just last Saturday.

[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Brenda Grisham, principal officer of the recall effort\"]‘Unless the registrar of voters put a monkey wrench in it, we are going to be on the ballot in June.’[/pullquote] State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election. A recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered, according to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its letter to supervisors, the registrar of voters wrote that the county’s own laws allow only 10 days to verify signatures, a goal that is “impracticable and likely unattainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The elections official is highly unlikely to verify the signatures needed within the 10-day deadline. The failure to verify signatures timely could lead to costly litigation,” the letter read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law, by contrast, allows 30 days to verify signatures. It also would allow the county more time to prepare ballots for the recall. The county charter would only allow 35 to 40 days to do so for a special election. State law would give the registrar of voters as much as 180 days to conduct the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of an election matters, especially in a 2024 presidential election year. Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when 308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary compared to 496,000 votes cast in November’s general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Higher turnout elections see more people of color, younger voters and, generally, more progressive voters. While in low-turnout elections, like a June special election, the voters tend to be homeowners who pay more taxes. [aside label='More on California Politics' tag='california-politics'] According to the registrar of voters, of the 14 counties with their own charters in California, three do not have recall provisions, which makes state rules take precedence, and the remainder otherwise incorporate state recall law. Alameda County is the only county in California whose charter “deviates from” and “is at odds with” the state’s recall laws, the registrar wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he was worried a change to the charter would shift a potential Price recall to November, Miley said he didn’t believe it was a concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just a matter of impracticality in the charter, the way the charter outlines it,” he said. “It would be almost an impracticality to put it on a March 5 election. There may be a special election, maybe, but I’m not even sure that will be the case if we’re aligning with a state law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

A recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered, according to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its letter to supervisors, the registrar of voters wrote that the county’s own laws allow only 10 days to verify signatures, a goal that is “impracticable and likely unattainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The elections official is highly unlikely to verify the signatures needed within the 10-day deadline. The failure to verify signatures timely could lead to costly litigation,” the letter read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law, by contrast, allows 30 days to verify signatures. It also would allow the county more time to prepare ballots for the recall. The county charter would only allow 35 to 40 days to do so for a special election. State law would give the registrar of voters as much as 180 days to conduct the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of an election matters, especially in a 2024 presidential election year. Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when 308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary compared to 496,000 votes cast in November’s general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Higher turnout elections see more people of color, younger voters and, generally, more progressive voters.

She’s 83 years old. What did she say about why she’s staying in the game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I would say she sort of couched this in both local and kind of national terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa Lagos is a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She talked about San Francisco values and her desire to kind of help the city with the big challenges it’s facing around the fentanyl crisis, around homelessness and housing. But then she also gave a nod to the kind of bigger forces at play here, democracy being at risk, really wanting to, I think, help, you know, Democrats win not just the House back, but keep the White House in 2024. You know, she spoke on MSNBC pretty soon after making this announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I am motivated to do everything I can to win this election. I think it’s urgent for our democracy, for our relationships worldwide, and more importantly, for every kitchen table discussion in our country about America’s working families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So that’s sort of what she says officially. But what’s your sort of take on it? Why is she really running again right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, Ericka, I’ve tried to get inside Nancy Pelosi’s head, and I think I have some ideas just from talking to folks around her. I think one is that she is still on top of her game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>When you compare the way she’s operating to somebody, you know, like Dianne Feinstein, who’s had so much attention on her health, Pelosi has had, as far as we know, zero health problems. She’s super sharp. I think she’s kind of enjoying herself. She’s been a little bit unshackled. Now that she’s not the leader of the Democratic caucus. She can kind of speak her mind. And and I think probably it’s an easier and more fun job. It’s probably also really hard to step back and take yourself out of being in the mix and being so relevant. Right. She’s been doing this for basically most of my lifetime, and I think that that’s a hard thing to give up. And then I do think that there’s a lot of truth to this idea that she feels like this is a moment where she’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>If you see the actions of the Republicans in Congress, you know that we have to win the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You see this kind of similar vibe between her and Joe Biden, which is I think they see Donald Trump and the current Republican Party as such a threat. I think they feel like this is not the time for somebody with that level of experience, fundraising, prowess, all those things to kind of disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I don’t want to see any underutilized resources, any wasted time or any regrets the day after the election that we all didn’t do everything in our power to protect and defend, to make sure that our flag is still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I also think that to some extent, the attack on her husband, that horrible attack on Paul Pelosi, kind of strengthened her resolve as well and made her want to stay in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, I was going to ask you about that because I remember seeing that and thinking like, geez, like why would anyone of her stature want to remain in the spotlight after something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Right. I mean, any attack would have been horrific. But this man broke into their home in the middle of the night looking for her. And I agree with you. I think normal people would say, oh, maybe I’m done. Politicians aren’t normal people. Let’s be real. Right. And I think and I do think for her, she has this history of being this punching bag for the right. And the way she’s always handled it is not to kind of shrink back from that. It’s to kind of rise to that occasion. It made her feel like, no, I’m not going to back down. Like, I’m not going to be bullied. I think as a woman of her age and generation and all the barriers she’s broken, like you can see how she’s often sort of run towards a challenge. And I think that this sort of tracks with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, she’s probably going to win again, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, she won with 84% of the vote last time, so I’m guessing it’ll be a walk in the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, let’s talk about the local reaction to this news, Marisa. How would you characterize the general mood around Nancy Pelosi’s decision to run for Congress again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I think among the general public, it’s a kind of mixed bag. I do think people are seeing her in the context of the Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell’s and Joe Biden’s of the world, who, you know, polls show people feel like it’s time for them to move on. And so when you talk about a new generation of leadership, even if Pelosi is super energetic, I think it’s hard for a lot of people, especially on the younger side, to not see this as just another delay of this long, drawn out changing of the guard. She promised in 2018 that she would step aside as leader. So this is not like a new conversation. So I think what I’m hearing kind of in the more general public is some frustration. That said, again, I think most of those people will still vote for her come next November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what about the political class? How are people reacting locally to Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So publicly, almost universally positive. I actually went on Friday to an Emily’s List lunch. This is a progressive women’s group that helps fund, raise and kind of seed campaigns. And I talked to Lateefah Simon, who is currently a bar board member and is running for Barbara Lee’s seat in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, I’m going to be in Congress soon, and I need the Maxine Waters, the Representative Clyburn, the Nancy Pelosi. It’s going to lead us to this next stage of battling to get some of the most basic rights for women back to security is on the line. The attack on trans kids. I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Lateefah is, you know, in her forties, young black woman, I think sort of part of this new generation of leadership and super progressive. And she, I think it’s fair to say, seemed pretty stoked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>About what a thrill to be able to be a phone call away, a couple of desks away from women who have fought and won huge victories for families. It’s exciting and it would be an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Did anyone voice concern publicly about Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I think, again, a lot of people are not eager to kind of say anything very publicly negative about Pelosi. I did, however, talk to Aimee Allison. She runs she the People, which is really dedicated to get women of color specifically into public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Amy was circumspect. It’s not as if she was negative per se, but she did call it kind of disappointing. You know, talking about the desire to see this handing of the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We do need a new generation of leadership that looks like who lives in California, in the country. And that’s going to require people in their eighties to make space. And I’m not saying anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She probably speaks for a lot of people who, again, are not mad at Pelosi specifically, but are just frustrated by the broader political landscape right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We can’t have in San Francisco or the Bay Area or anywhere in California, frankly, we can’t have the kind of generational leadership that continues on and on. Not only is it not possible, but it’s not a winning formula. So what I hope is that next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know that in the meantime, there are some people who are sort of left waiting in the wings, maybe waiting for Pelosi to retire so that they could get their chance. So who are some of the younger folks locally who have been eyeing her seat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say the two names that come up are State Senator Scott Wiener from San Francisco. Previous member of the Board of Supervisors has been a big leader on transit and transportation and housing and LGBT issues in Sacramento. He has made very clear that he does intend to run when Pelosi steps down and did say immediately on Friday that since she is running again, he’ll run for his seat again in the state Senate. The other big name is one that you might find familiar, Christine Pelosi, one of Nancy Pelosi’s children. She’s an activist in local Democratic politics, has been really out there on the MeToo movement. And she’s served on the Democratic Party here locally for many years as a lawyer and I think obviously is hopeful that her name might give her a little bit of a leg up. What’s fascinating to me is the kind of political dominoes, Game of Thrones, however you want to call it, that any sort of seat like this would create. So if Scott Weiner ran for Congress, Assembly member Matt Haney is thought to want to run for his Senate seat. San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandel man is thought to want to run for Haney’s seat. So you have, I think, her decision impacting not just the folks that are eyeing that congressional district, but everybody else who’s kind of waiting to see this stuff open up. And I think that that’s why we’ve seen in San Francisco in recent years some really brutal kind of Democrat on Democrat races. It’s because in some ways, a lot of these seats have not opened open in so long. These folks have been waiting already and this just delays it even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, this question of whether it’s time. Pelosi has been in office for more than 35 years. I mean, is that too long for someone to be in office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>It’s a good question. I was six when she was first elected to Congress, so I now have two children older than that. So, you know, it’s it’s been a minute. It’s a long time. And I think that this is why you do hear some conversations about the question of, you know, age limits or some sort of term limits in Congress. But I do think that it’s an open question. And I think a lot of people are looking at somebody like her and wondering that same thing and kind of asking not just is it time for a new leadership, but like can people be effective after that long in office? But I have never seen a legitimate attempt in my time covering politics the last couple of decades to actually rein that in or do anything about it. Right. I feel like we’re talking about it now, but I haven’t seen anything concrete to actually sort of start that process and.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, Nancy Pelosi is this very national figure, but she has also represented San Francisco all this time. What are some of the big political winds of her career that have been felt here in the bay and in San Francisco in particular? Like what’s her local impact been over the years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, I will start with one that’s national but impacts all of us, which is the Affordable Care Act. That really was her crowning legislative achievement. Obviously, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden deserve a lot of credit for that, but she really shepherded that through the Congress. But on the local level, I would say it’s the cheddar, baby. I mean, she brings home the money for the Bay Area. You know, if you look at our big infrastructure projects, transit, all of that sort of thing has been a big player. I think the most visible and sort of concrete thing you can look at is the Presidio. That would not exist as a national park if it were not for Nancy Pelosi. The federal government wanted to essentially sell it off to developers, and she stepped in and brokered this deal that said, look, it’ll become a national park, but it has to become self-sufficient. As you probably know, if you’ve been to the tunnel, top parks like it is continued to grow and really is one of the city’s crown jewels. And I’m looking back in time and I think this is something people in our generation might not even know or have forgotten is what a leader she was around the AIDS HIV crisis when she got to Congress. This was not an issue that most people in Washington, D.C. wanted to talk about. And despite her kind of Catholic background and the fact that she’s this like comes off to some people is so like establishment. She was a real leader in that and was very vocal from the minute she got to D.C. And so I do think that the LGBT community still really looks at her as a trailblazer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, I do think it is interesting that she was sort of this trailblazer when she first entered Congress, but now she really is sort of seen as someone who is very much part of the establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She is part of the establishment. Like you can’t deny that regardless of whether she’s a pretty progressive member of the establishment or not. So I do think there’s times that she is not always in lockstep with the pulse of the city, per se. I mean, clearly, she is part of the establishment that has presided over the city for the past few decades as a lot of the problems she’s talking about trying to solve have gotten worse. That said, I think until this term, she’s kind of had the luxury of staying out of a lot of local issues, not that she hasn’t been involved again, behind closed doors, but you have not seen her out there being a pundit on a lot of the San Francisco debates over the past couple of decades. I think that’s probably largely because of her role as speaker and minority leader. You know, when you are representing a caucus of over 200 people from very diverse districts. You don’t get to be the San Francisco liberal all the time. Right? Like, you have to kind of look at things through the lens of how do I keep this group together? How do we win? It’s been kind of interesting to see her over the past year, get a little more involved, be a little more willing to weigh in on some of the local stuff. I mean, there’s certainly critics of her and her wealth and the money her husband has made and questions about that. But I do think a lot of those questions have been raised by people who already don’t agree with her politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>How do you think having a representative who is this like big national figure, how how do you think that’s different from having a congressperson to represent you who’s maybe like not as well known? I mean, I feel like no one really thinks of her as like just this representative from San Francisco. Right. Like, she’s Nancy Pelosi. Like not everyone has a congressperson to represent them who’s as famous as her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>No. Thank God, because there’s 435 of them. Right. We don’t have time to talk, I think in ways probably unseen to most of us. It matters even when Pelosi is not in the majority. I mean, Joe Biden’s going to take her phone call. She has a lot of power and just the longevity that exist when you’re in Washington for that long and, you know the people at the agencies and you know who to call and you have seniority within your caucus. Certainly when Nancy Pelosi steps down, it’s going to change the dynamic for San Francisco. There is a changing of the guard happening, and there’s going to be ways that that’s probably super great and exciting for people. And there might be ways that it makes things a little more challenging to advocate for resources or for power on committees. We are going to be in the next, let’s say, five years entering a place where we have two fairly junior senators from California and a lot of turnover within the congressional delegation. So it’ll be fascinating to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>My pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Marisa Lagos, a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast, which you can find wherever you are listening to the Bay. This 25 minute conversation with Marisa was cut down and edited by senior editor Alan Montecillo. I produced this one, scored it and added all the tape.

Local News to Keep You Rooted. Nancy Pelosi has represented San Francisco in Congress since before I was even born. And everyone knows who she is. She’s a leader of the Democratic Party. Speaker of the House and Republicans most favorite punching bag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Political Ad Montage: \u003c/strong>First, Nancy Pelosi said she’d raise taxes. Now she’s coming for whatever you’ve got left to help pay for trillions in Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, they run Washington completely.

She’s 83 years old. What did she say about why she’s staying in the game?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I would say she sort of couched this in both local and kind of national terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa Lagos is a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She talked about San Francisco values and her desire to kind of help the city with the big challenges it’s facing around the fentanyl crisis, around homelessness and housing.

I think one is that she is still on top of her game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>When you compare the way she’s operating to somebody, you know, like Dianne Feinstein, who’s had so much attention on her health, Pelosi has had, as far as we know, zero health problems. She’s super sharp. I think she’s kind of enjoying herself. She’s been a little bit unshackled. Now that she’s not the leader of the Democratic caucus. She can kind of speak her mind. And and I think probably it’s an easier and more fun job. It’s probably also really hard to step back and take yourself out of being in the mix and being so relevant. Right. She’s been doing this for basically most of my lifetime, and I think that that’s a hard thing to give up. And then I do think that there’s a lot of truth to this idea that she feels like this is a moment where she’s needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>If you see the actions of the Republicans in Congress, you know that we have to win the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You see this kind of similar vibe between her and Joe Biden, which is I think they see Donald Trump and the current Republican Party as such a threat. I think they feel like this is not the time for somebody with that level of experience, fundraising, prowess, all those things to kind of disappear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I don’t want to see any underutilized resources, any wasted time or any regrets the day after the election that we all didn’t do everything in our power to protect and defend, to make sure that our flag is still there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I also think that to some extent, the attack on her husband, that horrible attack on Paul Pelosi, kind of strengthened her resolve as well and made her want to stay in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, I was going to ask you about that because I remember seeing that and thinking like, geez, like why would anyone of her stature want to remain in the spotlight after something like that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Right. I mean, any attack would have been horrific. But this man broke into their home in the middle of the night looking for her. And I agree with you. I think normal people would say, oh, maybe I’m done. Politicians aren’t normal people. Let’s be real. Right. And I think and I do think for her, she has this history of being this punching bag for the right. And the way she’s always handled it is not to kind of shrink back from that. It’s to kind of rise to that occasion. It made her feel like, no, I’m not going to back down. Like, I’m not going to be bullied. I think as a woman of her age and generation and all the barriers she’s broken, like you can see how she’s often sort of run towards a challenge. And I think that this sort of tracks with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, she’s probably going to win again, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, she won with 84% of the vote last time, so I’m guessing it’ll be a walk in the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, let’s talk about the local reaction to this news, Marisa. How would you characterize the general mood around Nancy Pelosi’s decision to run for Congress again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I think among the general public, it’s a kind of mixed bag. I do think people are seeing her in the context of the Dianne Feinstein and Mitch McConnell’s and Joe Biden’s of the world, who, you know, polls show people feel like it’s time for them to move on. And so when you talk about a new generation of leadership, even if Pelosi is super energetic, I think it’s hard for a lot of people, especially on the younger side, to not see this as just another delay of this long, drawn out changing of the guard. She promised in 2018 that she would step aside as leader. So this is not like a new conversation. So I think what I’m hearing kind of in the more general public is some frustration. That said, again, I think most of those people will still vote for her come next November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what about the political class? How are people reacting locally to Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So publicly, almost universally positive. I actually went on Friday to an Emily’s List lunch. This is a progressive women’s group that helps fund, raise and kind of seed campaigns. And I talked to Lateefah Simon, who is currently a bar board member and is running for Barbara Lee’s seat in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>You know, I’m going to be in Congress soon, and I need the Maxine Waters, the Representative Clyburn, the Nancy Pelosi. It’s going to lead us to this next stage of battling to get some of the most basic rights for women back to security is on the line. The attack on trans kids. I mean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Lateefah is, you know, in her forties, young black woman, I think sort of part of this new generation of leadership and super progressive. And she, I think it’s fair to say, seemed pretty stoked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>About what a thrill to be able to be a phone call away, a couple of desks away from women who have fought and won huge victories for families. It’s exciting and it would be an honor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Did anyone voice concern publicly about Pelosi’s decision to run again?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>So I think, again, a lot of people are not eager to kind of say anything very publicly negative about Pelosi. I did, however, talk to Aimee Allison. She runs she the People, which is really dedicated to get women of color specifically into public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Amy was circumspect. It’s not as if she was negative per se, but she did call it kind of disappointing. You know, talking about the desire to see this handing of the baton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We do need a new generation of leadership that looks like who lives in California, in the country. And that’s going to require people in their eighties to make space. And I’m not saying anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She probably speaks for a lot of people who, again, are not mad at Pelosi specifically, but are just frustrated by the broader political landscape right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>We can’t have in San Francisco or the Bay Area or anywhere in California, frankly, we can’t have the kind of generational leadership that continues on and on. Not only is it not possible, but it’s not a winning formula. So what I hope is that next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know that in the meantime, there are some people who are sort of left waiting in the wings, maybe waiting for Pelosi to retire so that they could get their chance. So who are some of the younger folks locally who have been eyeing her seat?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I would say the two names that come up are State Senator Scott Wiener from San Francisco. Previous member of the Board of Supervisors has been a big leader on transit and transportation and housing and LGBT issues in Sacramento. He has made very clear that he does intend to run when Pelosi steps down and did say immediately on Friday that since she is running again, he’ll run for his seat again in the state Senate. The other big name is one that you might find familiar, Christine Pelosi, one of Nancy Pelosi’s children. She’s an activist in local Democratic politics, has been really out there on the MeToo movement. And she’s served on the Democratic Party here locally for many years as a lawyer and I think obviously is hopeful that her name might give her a little bit of a leg up. What’s fascinating to me is the kind of political dominoes, Game of Thrones, however you want to call it, that any sort of seat like this would create. So if Scott Weiner ran for Congress, Assembly member Matt Haney is thought to want to run for his Senate seat. San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandel man is thought to want to run for Haney’s seat. So you have, I think, her decision impacting not just the folks that are eyeing that congressional district, but everybody else who’s kind of waiting to see this stuff open up. And I think that that’s why we’ve seen in San Francisco in recent years some really brutal kind of Democrat on Democrat races. It’s because in some ways, a lot of these seats have not opened open in so long. These folks have been waiting already and this just delays it even further.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, this question of whether it’s time. Pelosi has been in office for more than 35 years. I mean, is that too long for someone to be in office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>It’s a good question. I was six when she was first elected to Congress, so I now have two children older than that. So, you know, it’s it’s been a minute. It’s a long time. And I think that this is why you do hear some conversations about the question of, you know, age limits or some sort of term limits in Congress. But I do think that it’s an open question. And I think a lot of people are looking at somebody like her and wondering that same thing and kind of asking not just is it time for a new leadership, but like can people be effective after that long in office? But I have never seen a legitimate attempt in my time covering politics the last couple of decades to actually rein that in or do anything about it. Right. I feel like we’re talking about it now, but I haven’t seen anything concrete to actually sort of start that process and.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, Nancy Pelosi is this very national figure, but she has also represented San Francisco all this time. What are some of the big political winds of her career that have been felt here in the bay and in San Francisco in particular? Like what’s her local impact been over the years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>I mean, I will start with one that’s national but impacts all of us, which is the Affordable Care Act. That really was her crowning legislative achievement. Obviously, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden deserve a lot of credit for that, but she really shepherded that through the Congress. But on the local level, I would say it’s the cheddar, baby. I mean, she brings home the money for the Bay Area. You know, if you look at our big infrastructure projects, transit, all of that sort of thing has been a big player. I think the most visible and sort of concrete thing you can look at is the Presidio. That would not exist as a national park if it were not for Nancy Pelosi. The federal government wanted to essentially sell it off to developers, and she stepped in and brokered this deal that said, look, it’ll become a national park, but it has to become self-sufficient. As you probably know, if you’ve been to the tunnel, top parks like it is continued to grow and really is one of the city’s crown jewels. And I’m looking back in time and I think this is something people in our generation might not even know or have forgotten is what a leader she was around the AIDS HIV crisis when she got to Congress. This was not an issue that most people in Washington, D.C. wanted to talk about. And despite her kind of Catholic background and the fact that she’s this like comes off to some people is so like establishment. She was a real leader in that and was very vocal from the minute she got to D.C. And so I do think that the LGBT community still really looks at her as a trailblazer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I mean, I do think it is interesting that she was sort of this trailblazer when she first entered Congress, but now she really is sort of seen as someone who is very much part of the establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>She is part of the establishment. Like you can’t deny that regardless of whether she’s a pretty progressive member of the establishment or not. So I do think there’s times that she is not always in lockstep with the pulse of the city, per se. I mean, clearly, she is part of the establishment that has presided over the city for the past few decades as a lot of the problems she’s talking about trying to solve have gotten worse. That said, I think until this term, she’s kind of had the luxury of staying out of a lot of local issues, not that she hasn’t been involved again, behind closed doors, but you have not seen her out there being a pundit on a lot of the San Francisco debates over the past couple of decades. I think that’s probably largely because of her role as speaker and minority leader. You know, when you are representing a caucus of over 200 people from very diverse districts. You don’t get to be the San Francisco liberal all the time. Right? Like, you have to kind of look at things through the lens of how do I keep this group together? How do we win? It’s been kind of interesting to see her over the past year, get a little more involved, be a little more willing to weigh in on some of the local stuff. I mean, there’s certainly critics of her and her wealth and the money her husband has made and questions about that. But I do think a lot of those questions have been raised by people who already don’t agree with her politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>How do you think having a representative who is this like big national figure, how how do you think that’s different from having a congressperson to represent you who’s maybe like not as well known? I mean, I feel like no one really thinks of her as like just this representative from San Francisco. Right. Like, she’s Nancy Pelosi. Like not everyone has a congressperson to represent them who’s as famous as her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>No. Thank God, because there’s 435 of them. Right. We don’t have time to talk, I think in ways probably unseen to most of us. It matters even when Pelosi is not in the majority. I mean, Joe Biden’s going to take her phone call. She has a lot of power and just the longevity that exist when you’re in Washington for that long and, you know the people at the agencies and you know who to call and you have seniority within your caucus. Certainly when Nancy Pelosi steps down, it’s going to change the dynamic for San Francisco. There is a changing of the guard happening, and there’s going to be ways that that’s probably super great and exciting for people. And there might be ways that it makes things a little more challenging to advocate for resources or for power on committees. We are going to be in the next, let’s say, five years entering a place where we have two fairly junior senators from California and a lot of turnover within the congressional delegation. So it’ll be fascinating to watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Marisa, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Marisa Lagos: \u003c/strong>My pleasure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Marisa Lagos, a political correspondent for KQED and co-host of the Political Breakdown podcast, which you can find wherever you are listening to the Bay.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 5 p.m. Friday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday morning said she will run for another 2-year congressional term in 2024, ending months of speculation about her political future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi, 83, made the announcement Friday morning in front of labor leaders in her San Francisco district, before posting a message on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL,” she said on X. “That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TeamPelosi/status/1700177174542876754\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Friday afternoon interview, \u003ca href=\"https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/-our-democracy-is-at-risk-nancy-pelosi-on-her-urgent-2024-reelection-bid-192566341755\">Pelosi told MSNBC\u003c/a> she wants to stay in Congress in large part to help address some of San Francisco’s most pressing issues — including the fentanyl crisis, homelessness, housing shortages and a struggling downtown that has been slow to recover from the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The needs that our city [has] right now really call for me to stay another term,” she said. “We are a resilient city. We’ve had AIDS, we’ve had earthquakes, of course we’ve all had the pandemic. We intend to come out of this, resilient city that we are, even better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the interview, Pelosi also stressed that “our democracy is at risk,” and reiterated her staunch belief that the U.S. must continue to support Ukraine in its war against Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am motivated to do everything I can to win this election,” she added. “I think it’s urgent for our democracy, for our relationships worldwide, and more importantly for every kitchen table discussion in our country about America’s working families, to offset what the Republicans are trying to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s announcement will delay the aspirations of several rising San Francisco politicians who had hoped to run for her seat, including state Sen. Scott Wiener and Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, though, Wiener praised Pelosi and said he will run for reelection to the state Senate next year.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Aimee Allison, founder of She the People\"]‘Nancy Pelosi’s decision really reflects that the Democrats are not taking anything for granted. They want to shore up their seats. They want to support existing leadership.’[/pullquote] “Speaker Emerita Pelosi is one of the most talented and transformational leaders of our lifetime, and it’s a good thing for San Francisco and the nation that she will continue to serve our community,” Wiener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, I’m focused like a laser on the end of our legislative session in Sacramento,” Wiener added, pointing to several housing bills he’s backing, and a measure to decriminalize psychedelics. “I look forward to seeking reelection to the Senate next year and continuing this critical work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987, and rose to become the first and — to date — only female speaker of the House, in 2007, a post she held until 2011, when Republicans regained control. After a prolonged stint as House minority leader, Pelosi reclaimed the speaker’s gavel in 2019, promising to hand over the reins in four years. She stepped down from the leadership post after her party narrowly lost the House in last year’s midterm election, but continued to represent her San Francisco district in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi is known as a masterful legislator and fundraiser who held together an often fractured caucus and pushed through major Democratic priorities including the Affordable Care Act, her crowning legislative achievement. In her last stint as speaker, she guided her party through an exceedingly turbulent period that included two impeachments of former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has often been vilified by Republicans, who commonly portray her as a far-left liberal, and have unflatteringly plastered her image on hundreds of campaign ads over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born into a prominent political family in Baltimore, Pelosi, who describes herself as a “devout Catholic,” remained out of the political limelight during her early professional life, working for years behind the scenes as a Democratic Party activist and fundraiser, while raising her five children in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1987, after she was tapped by the ailing San Francisco Rep. Sala Burton to replace her, Pelosi beat out a crowded field in a special election, becoming one of just over 20 women in the House. In Washington, Pelosi quickly became an outspoken proponent for AIDS funding and, eventually, a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s decision to run once again comes just over a year before the 2024 presidential election, when her party hopes to win back control of the House from Republicans, who now hold a slim, 10-member majority. Her presence in the race is almost certain to boost Democratic fundraising efforts.[aside label=\"More on Nancy Pelosi\" tag=\"nancy-pelosi\"]But as an octogenarian, she’s part of a generation of aging leaders that are increasingly being pressured to step aside. \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/05/biden-age/\">Recent polls show\u003c/a> that many voters believe President Joe Biden, 80, is too old to run again, while California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, 90, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, of Kentucky, have both made headlines in recent months after experiencing serious health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Pelosi enjoys strong support in her hometown of San Francisco, where she easily won reelection in 2022, with nearly 84% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some members of the next generation of Democrats said they’re happy to see her stay in the game. Lateefah Simon, who is running to represent the East Bay in Congress — to fill the seat vacated by longtime Rep. Barbara Lee — said it would be an honor to serve alongside Pelosi, who she considers a mentor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need her right now. We need that voracious leadership,” Simon said on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is also disappointment among some Democrats. Aimee Allison, who works to elect women of color to office through her organization She the People, noted the dilemma for Democrats who aim to uplift a new generation of political leaders but fear doing anything that would boost Trump’s chances of reclaiming the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nancy Pelosi’s decision really reflects that the Democrats are not taking anything for granted. They want to shore up their seats. They want to support existing leadership,” Allison said. “For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. But 2024 might not be the year to try some things out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has also said that her desire to stay in public life a bit longer was further reinforced by last\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11930397/nancy-pelosis-husband-assaulted-in-san-francisco-break-in\"> year’s attack on her husband\u003c/a>, Paul Pelosi, in their Pacific Heights home. The alleged assailant, who espoused far-right conspiracy theories online, told authorities he was looking for Nancy Pelosi when he broke into the house and hit her husband in the head with a hammer, fracturing his skull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If anything it made me think about staying,” Pelosi told reporters less than a month after the incident, when asked if it impelled her to step away from politics. “No, it had the opposite effect,” she said. “I couldn’t give them that satisfaction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL,” she said on X. “That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’ve had AIDS, we’ve had earthquakes, of course we’ve all had the pandemic. We intend to come out of this, resilient city that we are, even better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the interview, Pelosi also stressed that “our democracy is at risk,” and reiterated her staunch belief that the U.S. must continue to support Ukraine in its war against Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am motivated to do everything I can to win this election,” she added. “I think it’s urgent for our democracy, for our relationships worldwide, and more importantly for every kitchen table discussion in our country about America’s working families, to offset what the Republicans are trying to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s announcement will delay the aspirations of several rising San Francisco politicians who had hoped to run for her seat, including state Sen. Scott Wiener and Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, though, Wiener praised Pelosi and said he will run for reelection to the state Senate next year.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a prolonged stint as House minority leader, Pelosi reclaimed the speaker’s gavel in 2019, promising to hand over the reins in four years. She stepped down from the leadership post after her party narrowly lost the House in last year’s midterm election, but continued to represent her San Francisco district in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi is known as a masterful legislator and fundraiser who held together an often fractured caucus and pushed through major Democratic priorities including the Affordable Care Act, her crowning legislative achievement. In her last stint as speaker, she guided her party through an exceedingly turbulent period that included two impeachments of former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has often been vilified by Republicans, who commonly portray her as a far-left liberal, and have unflatteringly plastered her image on hundreds of campaign ads over the years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born into a prominent political family in Baltimore, Pelosi, who describes herself as a “devout Catholic,” remained out of the political limelight during her early professional life, working for years behind the scenes as a Democratic Party activist and fundraiser, while raising her five children in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1987, after she was tapped by the ailing San Francisco Rep. Sala Burton to replace her, Pelosi beat out a crowded field in a special election, becoming one of just over 20 women in the House. In Washington, Pelosi quickly became an outspoken proponent for AIDS funding and, eventually, a ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi’s decision to run once again comes just over a year before the 2024 presidential election, when her party hopes to win back control of the House from Republicans, who now hold a slim, 10-member majority. Her presence in the race is almost certain to boost Democratic fundraising efforts.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lateefah Simon, who is running to represent the East Bay in Congress — to fill the seat vacated by longtime Rep. Barbara Lee — said it would be an honor to serve alongside Pelosi, who she considers a mentor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need her right now. We need that voracious leadership,” Simon said on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is also disappointment among some Democrats. Aimee Allison, who works to elect women of color to office through her organization She the People, noted the dilemma for Democrats who aim to uplift a new generation of political leaders but fear doing anything that would boost Trump’s chances of reclaiming the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nancy Pelosi’s decision really reflects that the Democrats are not taking anything for granted. They want to shore up their seats. They want to support existing leadership,” Allison said. “For those of us who want to see a new generation of leaders, it’s hard. But 2024 might not be the year to try some things out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has also said that her desire to stay in public life a bit longer was further reinforced by last\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11930397/nancy-pelosis-husband-assaulted-in-san-francisco-break-in\"> year’s attack on her husband\u003c/a>, Paul Pelosi, in their Pacific Heights home. The alleged assailant, who espoused far-right conspiracy theories online, told authorities he was looking for Nancy Pelosi when he broke into the house and hit her husband in the head with a hammer, fracturing his skull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If anything it made me think about staying,” Pelosi told reporters less than a month after the incident, when asked if it impelled her to step away from politics. “No, it had the opposite effect,” she said. “I couldn’t give them that satisfaction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>On Nov. 8, Californians overwhelmingly passed Proposition 28, which will bring a windfall of arts education funding to California schools. Advocates say the investment is long overdue, as arts education has declined in most districts — particularly those in lower-income areas — for decades. While the state requires arts education in grades one to six and a year of arts education in high school, it’s up to districts to decide how to fund and implement it. The result has been an inconsistent patchwork of arts programs that leave many children with little exposure to music, dance, art and other creative forms of expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11928837,news_11927353,mindshift_58668\"]Proposition 28 funds will be distributed according to enrollment, with 70% based on overall enrollment and 30% based on Title 1 enrollment. In all, districts will receive an additional 1% of their funding allotment to spend on the arts. School boards must certify districts’ Prop. 28 budgets annually, post the expenses on the district’s website and submit the information to the state Department of Education, where it will be available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools must spend 80% of the money on teachers and aides, which should help alleviate California’s teacher shortage, with the remainder of the funds earmarked for art supplies and materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We talked to former Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner, a chief backer of Proposition 28, about what students, families and schools can expect when the measure goes into effect in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What, specifically, will Proposition 28 do for California schools?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 28 will provide about $1 billion each year in funding to California public schools, so all 6 million students in pre-K through 12th grade can participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where will the money come from?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds will come from the state’s general fund. There will be no new taxes or increase in tax rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why is arts education important to you, personally?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a shy kid entering a new school in fifth grade during the middle of a school year, my concern was not literacy or math. It was who was I going to have lunch with my first day of school since I didn’t know anyone. Fortunately, a music teacher invited me to a lunchtime class. Cello became bass and then guitar. Along with it came a sense of agency and confidence. I could play in front of thousands of people before I could speak in front of tens. But it all started with a group of friends and a sense of belonging in that fifth grade class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone who has had the opportunity to participate in arts and music has a story like mine. The arts are universal, and they’re the glue that bonds together literacy and math in a good education. I want to make sure every child in every classroom has the opportunity to participate in arts and music and experience their own story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of arts education in California schools currently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, barely 1 in 5 California public schools has a full-time arts or music teacher.

Advocates say the investment is long overdue, as arts education has declined in most districts — particularly those in lower-income areas — for decades. While the state requires arts education in grades one to six and a year of arts education in high school, it’s up to districts to decide how to fund and implement it. The result has been an inconsistent patchwork of arts programs that leave many children with little exposure to music, dance, art and other creative forms of expression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In all, districts will receive an additional 1% of their funding allotment to spend on the arts. School boards must certify districts’ Prop. 28 budgets annually, post the expenses on the district’s website and submit the information to the state Department of Education, where it will be available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools must spend 80% of the money on teachers and aides, which should help alleviate California’s teacher shortage, with the remainder of the funds earmarked for art supplies and materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We talked to former Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner, a chief backer of Proposition 28, about what students, families and schools can expect when the measure goes into effect in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What, specifically, will Proposition 28 do for California schools?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 28 will provide about $1 billion each year in funding to California public schools, so all 6 million students in pre-K through 12th grade can participate in arts and music at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where will the money come from?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The funds will come from the state’s general fund.

It was who was I going to have lunch with my first day of school since I didn’t know anyone. Fortunately, a music teacher invited me to a lunchtime class. Cello became bass and then guitar. Along with it came a sense of agency and confidence. I could play in front of thousands of people before I could speak in front of tens. But it all started with a group of friends and a sense of belonging in that fifth grade class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone who has had the opportunity to participate in arts and music has a story like mine. The arts are universal, and they’re the glue that bonds together literacy and math in a good education. I want to make sure every child in every classroom has the opportunity to participate in arts and music and experience their own story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the status of arts education in California schools currently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, barely 1 in 5 California public schools has a full-time arts or music teacher. That’s not acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What kinds of arts activities and projects can students and families expect to see come out of this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 28 will provide funding for traditional forms of creative expression like music, theater, dance and visual arts, as well as more contemporary areas including filmmaking, animation and graphic design.
