Ronen told KQED she’s reconsidering her support after the strife with Peskin — which this week \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24834146-ronen-letter\">led her to resign\u003c/a> from a key city committee tasked with evaluating such ballot proposals — caused her to question his commitment to running from the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think there is a progressive candidate in this race,” Ronen said. “All you hear is them trying to compete against each other over wanting more police. I wish I could say Peskin is an alternative to that, but I’m not seeing that he is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The November ballot proposal, if passed by voters, would allow a handful of veteran officers to collect their salaries and pension benefits simultaneously in exchange for delaying retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rules Committee, which Ronen chaired until Tuesday, deemed the Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) “fiscally irresponsible,” according to Ronen. She pointed to a similar plan enacted in 2008 that supervisors ultimately ended in 2011 after an analysis found it had increased pension costs by $52 million in those three years alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the committee voted on Monday to scrap the measure, which is supported by eight supervisors, Peskin called on Tuesday for a special meeting to reconsider it. Ronen said the move undercut the committee’s power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968475\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968475\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut.jpg\" alt=\"A middle-aged white woman speaks into multiple microphones at an outside event, with a crowd of people standing behind her.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231127-VendorRally-17-BL-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisor Hillary Ronen speaks during a press conference at 24th Street BART plaza in San Francisco on Monday, held by the newly formed Mission Street Vendors Association, about the new street vending ban. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It weakens the stature of the Board of Supervisors when the rules of order can be changed so easily for one item the minute one or two supervisors don’t agree with the chair’s findings,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Peskin maintains that the special meeting to revisit the measure was by the book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A small committee on the Board of Supervisors consisting of three people does not take the board’s ability away to democratically vote for or against something,” Peskin said. “In this particular instance, a supermajority of eight board members are sponsors of this measure, and to allow two supervisors to not enable the board to take a position on it is not democratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronen, who will be termed out of her seat in January, said she “hasn’t decided” whether she will vote for another mayoral candidate, but she is indeed questioning her support of Peskin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really thought Peskin would be the best candidate, just because he is a pretty practical common sense guy,” she said, “but it’s hard to see him be a candidate and play the same games as all the other typical politicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin doesn’t seem swayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a very pleasant, albeit sad conversation yesterday where [Ronen] indicated that if we held a special board meeting, she would resign from the committee,” he told KQED. “She was clear that she would continue to support my candidacy, but that’s ultimately up to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her resignation letter, Ronen cited the city’s approval of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sfpd-police-raise-approved-crime-in-sf-17897716.php\">increasing the police budget\u003c/a> by $166 million for salaries and hiring bonuses in recent years and nearly $200 million overall for the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for supporting a measure that would funnel more money to police, Peskin said: “Public safety is a progressive value, and this particular relatively small piece of legislation … will help maintain our current staffing levels at the Police Department, which has undergone a host of 21st-century policing reforms.”[aside postID=news_11993629 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240406-PeskinCampaignKickoff-033-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg']San Francisco’s progressive voting bloc has largely embraced Peskin.

Ronen told KQED she’s reconsidering her support after the strife with Peskin — which this week \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24834146-ronen-letter\">led her to resign\u003c/a> from a key city committee tasked with evaluating such ballot proposals — caused her to question his commitment to running from the left.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think there is a progressive candidate in this race,” Ronen said. “All you hear is them trying to compete against each other over wanting more police. I wish I could say Peskin is an alternative to that, but I’m not seeing that he is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The November ballot proposal, if passed by voters, would allow a handful of veteran officers to collect their salaries and pension benefits simultaneously in exchange for delaying retirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The recount occurred over 13 days in parts of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, requiring election workers to rescan ballots. During the process, officials added ballots that were erroneously left out of the initial count and removed ballots that were counted twice by mistake. As a result of the recount, Low moved ahead of Simitian by five votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Driving the story: \u003c/strong>The recount was marked with intrigue and recriminations between the Low campaign and the backers of the recount. It was requested by Jonathan Padilla, a former Liccardo staffer, leading to accusations and ethics complaints that the campaign and recount group were illegally coordinating, which both have denied. Low, meanwhile, opposed the recount, and his lawyers pushed to stop it from taking place. California does not have a law triggering automatic recounts, but any voter in the district can request one – and must place a daily deposit to cover the costs of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By the numbers: \u003c/strong>Count the Vote reported raising $271,500 through June 30 and spending $268,000 on recount costs and legal fees. A pro-Liccardo super PAC called Neighbors for Results gave $102,000 to the recount effort. Neighbors for Results received significant funding from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom Liccardo endorsed in his 2020 run for president. Chris Larsen, the former CEO of Ripple Labs who has endorsed Liccardo’s congressional run, contributed $100,000 to the recount. Other backers include Padilla, along with Nick Josefowitz, a former BART director, and Daniel J. Warmenhoven, the former CEO of NetApp. All three had previously donated to Liccardo’s campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What they’re saying: \u003c/strong>The Low campaign blasted the recount on Tuesday as “nothing more than a dirty trick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s now clear Liccardo’s billionaire donors funded it, which hamstrung our fundraising and gave Trump Republicans a playbook to continue to undermine our democracy,” the campaign said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the recount committee’s goals and the donors being Liccardo supporters, Padilla said, “Counting votes matters, and Evan tried to stop it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evan’s a hypocrite because he wants immediate disclosure of donors to recount committees but not to special interest IE [independent expenditure] committees that spent $750K on him,” Padilla added. “We need people of substance and not glib showmen to ensure the promise of our democracy endures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next:\u003c/strong> The race between Liccardo and Low will be one of the most closely watched elections in the Bay Area this November. The winner will hold a reliably blue seat with no term limits — and could instantly become a sought-after voice in Congress on issues related to Silicon Valley. Before Monday’s disclosure deadline, Liccardo reported bringing in more than $1.6 million in the second quarter, while Low raised $751,279.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam’s strong support from the people of this district is a testament to his record as an effective independent leader and to our community’s demands for Congress to get moving,” said Gil Rubinstein, spokesperson for the Liccardo campaign, in a statement. “In contrast, Evan Low does what all establishment, insider-funded candidates do: fundraising in Washington D.C., Sacramento and L.A. because he cannot generate meaningful support from the people he’s represented for a decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest round of fundraising left Liccardo with $1.9 million and Low with $846,497 on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

California does not have a law triggering automatic recounts, but any voter in the district can request one – and must place a daily deposit to cover the costs of the work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By the numbers: \u003c/strong>Count the Vote reported raising $271,500 through June 30 and spending $268,000 on recount costs and legal fees. A pro-Liccardo super PAC called Neighbors for Results gave $102,000 to the recount effort. Neighbors for Results received significant funding from former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whom Liccardo endorsed in his 2020 run for president. Chris Larsen, the former CEO of Ripple Labs who has endorsed Liccardo’s congressional run, contributed $100,000 to the recount. Other backers include Padilla, along with Nick Josefowitz, a former BART director, and Daniel J. Warmenhoven, the former CEO of NetApp. All three had previously donated to Liccardo’s campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What they’re saying: \u003c/strong>The Low campaign blasted the recount on Tuesday as “nothing more than a dirty trick.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s now clear Liccardo’s billionaire donors funded it, which hamstrung our fundraising and gave Trump Republicans a playbook to continue to undermine our democracy,” the campaign said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about the recount committee’s goals and the donors being Liccardo supporters, Padilla said, “Counting votes matters, and Evan tried to stop it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Evan’s a hypocrite because he wants immediate disclosure of donors to recount committees but not to special interest IE [independent expenditure] committees that spent $750K on him,” Padilla added. “We need people of substance and not glib showmen to ensure the promise of our democracy endures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s next:\u003c/strong> The race between Liccardo and Low will be one of the most closely watched elections in the Bay Area this November. The winner will hold a reliably blue seat with no term limits — and could instantly become a sought-after voice in Congress on issues related to Silicon Valley. Before Monday’s disclosure deadline, Liccardo reported bringing in more than $1.6 million in the second quarter, while Low raised $751,279.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sam’s strong support from the people of this district is a testament to his record as an effective independent leader and to our community’s demands for Congress to get moving,” said Gil Rubinstein, spokesperson for the Liccardo campaign, in a statement. “In contrast, Evan Low does what all establishment, insider-funded candidates do: fundraising in Washington D.C., Sacramento and L.A. because he cannot generate meaningful support from the people he’s represented for a decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest round of fundraising left Liccardo with $1.9 million and Low with $846,497 on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Vance is former President Donald Trump’s pick for vice president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump announced the news on his social media site Truth Social Monday afternoon, saying Vance is the “best suited” for the job and praising Vance’s biography as a Marine Corps veteran, Yale Law School graduate and bestselling author of the 2016 memoir, \u003cem>Hillbilly Elegy\u003c/em>. That book was based on his upbringing in rural Ohio and the struggles of his white working-class family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California delegate Amanda Morales, the 23-year-old executive director of the San Bernardino Republican Party, praised Vance’s youth — at 39, he could become one of the youngest vice presidents in history. She and others spoke to KQED on the floor of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee as Trump was formally nominated for president Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s a fighter, and I think that’s what the American people need,” Morales said of Vance. “It’s nice to get younger people getting involved in politics and I’m super excited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Assemblymember Bill Essayli (R-Riverside), one of the Legislature’s most outspoken conservative voices, said Vance will be a “loyal” vice president to Trump. Trump’s first vice president, Mike Pence, has been largely shunned in the Republican party since refusing on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump’s calls to overturn the 2020 election results. Vance has \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-vance-defends-trump-claims-invoking-jean-carroll/story?id=106925954\">indicated\u003c/a> he would have acted differently than Pence on Jan. 6, telling \u003cem>ABC News\u003c/em> earlier this year that there should have been “multiple slates of electors” from some of the closest states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essayli didn’t mention Pence but said Vance had demonstrated his devotion to the former president and praised his “well-rounded” background in business and public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s been very loyal to the president. I think it is very important, considering everything the president’s going to be under again. I mean, they tried to impeach him twice, charged him with cases. So you need someone who’s going to be extremely loyal to the president. I think JD is the man for that job,” Essayli said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11994148\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11994148\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attendees hold signs in support of former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 15, 2024. \u003ccite>(Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Vance has become synonymous with the MAGA movement in recent years. But before he entered politics, he lived in San Francisco for several years and worked as a corporate lawyer at Mithril Capital Management in the Presidio, a venture capital firm headed by Peter Thiel. Thiel was one of the first big Silicon Valley investors to back Trump in 2016 though he’s soured on the former president since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vance went in the opposite direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/opinion/campaign-stops/why-trumps-antiwar-message-resonates-with-white-america.html\">criticizing Trump in 2016 as “unfit for our nation’s highest office,”\u003c/a> he became a staunch supporter of the former president and one of his closest Senate allies after winning an Ohio seat in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vance’s Silicon Valley background and political turnaround, from Trump critic to MAGA champion, doesn’t seem to bother Trump supporters. Delegate Keith Koo, of Fremont, said Vance both understands the tech community and middle America. And Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a GOP delegate and outspoken conservative, called Vance “an American hero.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He absolutely loves his country. He’s doing what he’s doing for this country, not for himself,” Bianco said, adding that his background in tech will “serve him well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Lanhee Chen, who ran for state controller in California in 2022 and is a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institute at Stanford, said Vance is a smart choice for Trump, citing both his youth and his populist philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a pick that makes a lot of sense from the perspective of generational change, which is one of the things that President Trump’s talked about,” he said. “But I also think if you look at it from a sort of policy point of view, you have someone who has at least recently been very steeped in the populist side of the Republican Party. His pick sort of emphasizes the degree to which that is going to be an important element of the policy agendas in the party going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pick — of someone as bombastic and pugilistic as Trump — marks yet another shift in the fast-moving presidential campaign, which has been rocked in recent weeks by first Biden’s poor debate performance and then the assassination attempt on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as Trump and other Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11994004/after-trump-shooting-california-republicans-hope-to-turn-down-the-burner-at-convention\">called for calm and unity in recent days\u003c/a>, Vance \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/JDVance1/status/1812280973628965109\">took to X\u003c/a> to blame Biden and Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Trump’s first vice president, Mike Pence, has been largely shunned in the Republican party since refusing on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump’s calls to overturn the 2020 election results. Vance has \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-vance-defends-trump-claims-invoking-jean-carroll/story?id=106925954\">indicated\u003c/a> he would have acted differently than Pence on Jan. 6, telling \u003cem>ABC News\u003c/em> earlier this year that there should have been “multiple slates of electors” from some of the closest states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essayli didn’t mention Pence but said Vance had demonstrated his devotion to the former president and praised his “well-rounded” background in business and public service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s been very loyal to the president. I think it is very important, considering everything the president’s going to be under again. I mean, they tried to impeach him twice, charged him with cases. So you need someone who’s going to be extremely loyal to the president. I think JD is the man for that job,” Essayli said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11994148\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11994148\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/RNCTrumpVance2024-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attendees hold signs in support of former President Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 15, 2024. \u003ccite>(Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Vance has become synonymous with the MAGA movement in recent years. But before he entered politics, he lived in San Francisco for several years and worked as a corporate lawyer at Mithril Capital Management in the Presidio, a venture capital firm headed by Peter Thiel. Thiel was one of the first big Silicon Valley investors to back Trump in 2016 though he’s soured on the former president since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vance went in the opposite direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/opinion/campaign-stops/why-trumps-antiwar-message-resonates-with-white-america.html\">criticizing Trump in 2016 as “unfit for our nation’s highest office,”\u003c/a> he became a staunch supporter of the former president and one of his closest Senate allies after winning an Ohio seat in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vance’s Silicon Valley background and political turnaround, from Trump critic to MAGA champion, doesn’t seem to bother Trump supporters. Delegate Keith Koo, of Fremont, said Vance both understands the tech community and middle America. And Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a GOP delegate and outspoken conservative, called Vance “an American hero.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He absolutely loves his country. He’s doing what he’s doing for this country, not for himself,” Bianco said, adding that his background in tech will “serve him well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Lanhee Chen, who ran for state controller in California in 2022 and is a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institute at Stanford, said Vance is a smart choice for Trump, citing both his youth and his populist philosophy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a pick that makes a lot of sense from the perspective of generational change, which is one of the things that President Trump’s talked about,” he said. “But I also think if you look at it from a sort of policy point of view, you have someone who has at least recently been very steeped in the populist side of the Republican Party. His pick sort of emphasizes the degree to which that is going to be an important element of the policy agendas in the party going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pick — of someone as bombastic and pugilistic as Trump — marks yet another shift in the fast-moving presidential campaign, which has been rocked in recent weeks by first Biden’s poor debate performance and then the assassination attempt on Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as Trump and other Republicans \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11994004/after-trump-shooting-california-republicans-hope-to-turn-down-the-burner-at-convention\">called for calm and unity in recent days\u003c/a>, Vance \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/JDVance1/status/1812280973628965109\">took to X\u003c/a> to blame Biden and Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote. “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
