And they’re usually more symbolic and will take effect immediately. And the city passes resolutions pretty often.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Typically they do focus on local issues, but ones like the cease fire resolution aren’t unheard of either. In 2022, for example, the city passed a resolution supporting protests against the Iranian government and the country’s leadership for human rights abuses. So there is some precedent to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>When was this idea of a cease fire resolution first introduced?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>To San Francisco supervisors Dean Preston and Hilary Ronen, who are both Jewish, officially introduced their resolution to the full Board of Supervisors in early December. So by that time, the violence that started after the October 7th attacks had already been going on for almost two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>By the time they introduced the resolution, though, there was still plenty of controversy over it. At the same time, there was a little bit of a precedent for local governments to take this type of action, because places like Oakland and Richmond had already been taking those steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Right. So an idea like this is sort of gaining traction over the last few months. And in order to pass a cease fire resolution in San Francisco, it sort of had to go through some meetings, including one on Monday, where supervisors got to hear from the public, what was your sense of how people were feeling about this resolution, based on the public comment that you heard?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>I would say that the majority of speakers who came on Monday were in support of the resolution. First of all, it was a five hour long item, with most of that being public comment from people in the community. I mean, dozens of people were lined up. It was a completely full, chamber. You know, it was a little chaotic at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>There’s a lot of fear. I’m calling for some humility that after they’ve been after these. Me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Excuse me. Stop for a second. Let the man speak. When everyone is speaking, let them speak. If you disagree, put your hand like this. If you agree, wave your hands. Do not taunt people when they’re speaking. Go ahead. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>We heard boos. We heard cheers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Free Palestine and thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>They often had to pound the gavel to bring things back to order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>And this is if you can also do this. I’m going to recess the meeting and there won’t be a vote. So just chill out and let everybody speak. And then we’re going to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Regardless of where folks are standing. There was clearly just this palpable energy and people feeling really fired up about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lara Kiswani: \u003c/strong>My name is Lara Kiswani, I’m the executive director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center. I’m also the daughter of Palestinian refugees. And this is my daughter, Salma. Since I was last here, I learned that I lost 40 family members in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were many people who showed up talking about family members that they have who have died in the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>My name is Manal Alcala, San Francisco resident, born and raised in district eight. More than 100 members of my family have been killed in Gaza, and the rest joined the 2 million made homeless by our tax money and our unlimited military aid. I’m here as a family medicine doctor who has taken an oath to do no harm. We are witnessing a.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There was also a large group of doctors who showed up. Part of this do no harm coalition that have really been, just calling for more humanitarian aid and medical support in Gaza as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Should we tell you about Doctor Hammam, a law, a nephrologist who worked at Al-Shifa who said, this is not the medicine I thought I would be practicing? When asked why he continued to work at a hospital under threat, he replied and if I go, who treats my patients? And if I go, who treats my patients? Two weeks later, he was killed in an airstrike on Al-Shifa. How many more? How many more children? How many more doctors?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Where the rub really came down was over the language that was going to be used, and sort of how the call for a cease fire would be portrayed, quite literally, line by line and in the resolution itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>As long as we’re here, there are three things that must be included in this outrageous resolution. Number one, lay out the atrocities and detail that have been committed by Hamas on October 7th. In detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were some opponents that said that the resolution didn’t go far enough to call out Hamas for its role and the attack on October 7th that killed around 1200 Israelis. Several people said that they didn’t feel safe for expressing their criticisms, and they wanted to see more language added to support Jewish and Israeli communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>This resolution is bringing out, it’s legitimizing. It’s making it okay to call for the destruction of Israel and, threats to Jews. And I please ask you to focus on keeping us safe here, everyone, and not legitimizing hate speech. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know part of the work of things like this is definitely in the language, and I want to ask you about that. But before we get into that, how did the supervisors who introduced this resolution talk about why do this at all in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>I think it’s a great question, first of all, because there were people who spoke up during public comment saying that San Francisco should be focused on our local issues. You know, we have a housing crisis. We have an overdose crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>The only consideration of a cease fire really is in the hands of Qatar, Egypt, Hamas and Israel. Not by this board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, why would we be focusing hours of our government’s attention, on something that’s maybe to some, not directly affecting our backyard. But in response to that, there were plenty of people who said, actually, this is affecting people here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ahsha Safaí: \u003c/strong>This is the most gut wrenching issue that I have dealt with on the Board of Supervisors. I have never received more calls, more emails, more people stopping me on the street, people grabbing me wherever I am to tell me how they feel about this moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Supervisor Ahsha Safaí, you know, he pointed out that he was supporting the resolution because he hoped that it would simply allow members of the community who have lost loved ones or have direct experience with violence in the Middle East, to feel seen and heard by their local leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ahsha Safaí: \u003c/strong>I can tell you, as the only person on this board that was born in that part of the world, and my life began with gunshots ringing outside every single night. This is deeply, deeply personal to me, and I have thought about nothing else more every single day since October the 7th. And so I know this resolution. Some people think it’s not going to do anything. It will allow some people in our communities to feel heard and seen for the very first time, because they feel as though they’re not seen in our city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, the U.S. government funds a lot of military aid in Israel, and that’s something that Hillary Ronen and other supervisors who supported this said that they hope it will send a message to the Biden administration to shift its approach and policies on the war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>I believe we’re going to start something here today that’s going to take off across cities all over the United States. And if enough of us speak out, President Biden will have to listen. And there is no doubt in my mind that without the weapons, money and backing of the United States, the far right government in Israel will not be able to continue its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Coming up, the debate over how to word the ceasefire resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Sydney, I mean, I know other Bay area cities have considered resolutions like this and and part of what has made some of them very difficult to pass are these debates around language, and how do we sort of come to a consensus on that? What did those debates look like in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So San Francisco definitely had those debates as well. And this resolution was met with plenty of controversy. So in San Francisco, the language debates did mirror somewhat what we saw in places like Oakland and Berkeley. It was proposed by two supervisors who wanted to make a pretty broad call for a cease fire. That initial version did mention things like the October 7th attacks, but it did not explicitly condemn Hamas for its role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So there was some discussion about including language to label Hamas as a U.S. designated terrorist organization, and, also to include language calling on Hamas to surrender. This was still an issue that other supervisors were unsure of as well. There were multiple supervisors who wanted to see that condemnation of Hamas included in the language. And so on Tuesday, board President Aaron Peskin introduced a handful of changes to try to court skeptical supervisors and reach a unanimous vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin: \u003c/strong>We have not. Succeeded. Arguably, we have failed to use this as an opportunity to bring our people on both sides of this divide together. I came to work and met with several of you, and heard different things, and as president wanted to see if we could bring at least the 11 of us together in a single, statement. And, to that end. I am offering amendments that turn this into a one page resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>That included explicitly condemning Hamas for its attacks on October 7th, but also condemning the Netanyahu administration for the ongoing invasion and airstrikes. It calls on the Biden administration to pursue a cease fire as well, and a handful of other considerations. But there were still some supervisors who said it wasn’t enough and they didn’t reach that consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. Why is that? For at least the supervisors who still decided that they weren’t on board with this? What were some of the things they said at the meeting on Tuesday about why they weren’t supporting the resolution?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>The supervisors who voted no against this, and there were three, said that they still support some of the intention behind what the resolution was holding, but that they just felt it didn’t go hard enough to condemn some of the violence that Hamas has played a role in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Dorsey: \u003c/strong>What haunts me as much as anything I have encountered in more than 20 years of working in this building, is hearing the orchestrated denialism about what happened on October 7th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, Dorsey in particular, he was saying that it could risk sending a message that terrorism works. And that was something that resonated with, some of the other supervisors as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Dorsey: \u003c/strong>But I am troubled that the pain of some people is being denied. I can’t in good conscience support this resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So what is the language that they ultimately landed on and how did supervisors ultimately vote?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So the final version condemns both Hamas and Netanyahu for the tens and thousands of deaths that have taken place in Israel and Gaza. It calls for release of all Israeli hostages, demands, an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and it condemns anti-Semitic, Anti-palestinian, Islamophobic rhetoric and attacks. The supervisors voted 8 to 3 for it to pass, with supervisors Dorsey, Stefani and Mandolin as the only no votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were so many cheers. The whole room just erupted. People were throwing scarves and papers in the air. It looked a little bit like a graduation. And yeah, there was just a lot of emotion. And there were, of course, people who were there who were upset to see this pass as well, feeling like they weren’t heard and represented by the language. But the vast majority of people that showed up on Tuesday were filling the halls of the chamber afterwards, cheering and supporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Do we know anything about whether resolutions like these actually have an impact at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, I think that the war in Gaza is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our lifetime. And there are people here in our community that have fled that violence, that have family that is still in Israel and Gaza. And I think that resolutions like this do kind of show where San Franciscos heart and priorities are at that. You know, we are aware that there are these issues that we need to focus on locally. But this is one of those, you know, this is affecting people here, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>And I think that there is a lot to be said about taking a controversial stand like this. When you have a federal administration that is taking the opposite stance in some ways, and coming out and saying, you know, this is not where we’re going to stand, is is pretty tough to do. You know, I think we can only speculate, but, I think that is certainly the intention with resolutions like this is to send a message, take a stand and hope that it inspires some sort of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Sydney, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. That was Sydney Johnson, a reporter for KQED. This 25 minute conversation with Sydney was cut down and edited by me. Maria Esquinca is our producer.

Local news to keep you rooted. San Francisco is now the biggest city in the country to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, following a trend of local governments hoping to put pressure on Israel and on the Biden administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hilary Ronen: \u003c/strong>And if enough of us speak out, President Biden will have to listen. And there is no doubt in my mind that without the weapons, money and backing of the United States, the far right government in Israel will not be able to continue its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Today, San Francisco’s ceasefire resolution and what impact it could have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So resolutions are different from, you know, laws that a city may pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Sydney Johnson is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>It’s essentially a way for a local government or, you know, a city metro area to basically take an official position on something. And they’re usually more symbolic and will take effect immediately. And the city passes resolutions pretty often.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Typically they do focus on local issues, but ones like the cease fire resolution aren’t unheard of either. In 2022, for example, the city passed a resolution supporting protests against the Iranian government and the country’s leadership for human rights abuses. So there is some precedent to this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>When was this idea of a cease fire resolution first introduced?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>To San Francisco supervisors Dean Preston and Hilary Ronen, who are both Jewish, officially introduced their resolution to the full Board of Supervisors in early December. So by that time, the violence that started after the October 7th attacks had already been going on for almost two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>By the time they introduced the resolution, though, there was still plenty of controversy over it. At the same time, there was a little bit of a precedent for local governments to take this type of action, because places like Oakland and Richmond had already been taking those steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Right. So an idea like this is sort of gaining traction over the last few months. And in order to pass a cease fire resolution in San Francisco, it sort of had to go through some meetings, including one on Monday, where supervisors got to hear from the public, what was your sense of how people were feeling about this resolution, based on the public comment that you heard?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>I would say that the majority of speakers who came on Monday were in support of the resolution. First of all, it was a five hour long item, with most of that being public comment from people in the community. I mean, dozens of people were lined up. It was a completely full, chamber. You know, it was a little chaotic at times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>There’s a lot of fear. I’m calling for some humility that after they’ve been after these. Me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Excuse me. Stop for a second. Let the man speak. When everyone is speaking, let them speak. If you disagree, put your hand like this. If you agree, wave your hands. Do not taunt people when they’re speaking. Go ahead. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>We heard boos. We heard cheers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Free Palestine and thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>They often had to pound the gavel to bring things back to order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>And this is if you can also do this. I’m going to recess the meeting and there won’t be a vote. So just chill out and let everybody speak. And then we’re going to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Regardless of where folks are standing. There was clearly just this palpable energy and people feeling really fired up about this issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lara Kiswani: \u003c/strong>My name is Lara Kiswani, I’m the executive director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center. I’m also the daughter of Palestinian refugees. And this is my daughter, Salma. Since I was last here, I learned that I lost 40 family members in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were many people who showed up talking about family members that they have who have died in the violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>My name is Manal Alcala, San Francisco resident, born and raised in district eight. More than 100 members of my family have been killed in Gaza, and the rest joined the 2 million made homeless by our tax money and our unlimited military aid. I’m here as a family medicine doctor who has taken an oath to do no harm. We are witnessing a.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There was also a large group of doctors who showed up. Part of this do no harm coalition that have really been, just calling for more humanitarian aid and medical support in Gaza as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>Should we tell you about Doctor Hammam, a law, a nephrologist who worked at Al-Shifa who said, this is not the medicine I thought I would be practicing? When asked why he continued to work at a hospital under threat, he replied and if I go, who treats my patients? And if I go, who treats my patients? Two weeks later, he was killed in an airstrike on Al-Shifa. How many more? How many more children? How many more doctors?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Where the rub really came down was over the language that was going to be used, and sort of how the call for a cease fire would be portrayed, quite literally, line by line and in the resolution itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>As long as we’re here, there are three things that must be included in this outrageous resolution. Number one, lay out the atrocities and detail that have been committed by Hamas on October 7th. In detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were some opponents that said that the resolution didn’t go far enough to call out Hamas for its role and the attack on October 7th that killed around 1200 Israelis. Several people said that they didn’t feel safe for expressing their criticisms, and they wanted to see more language added to support Jewish and Israeli communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>This resolution is bringing out, it’s legitimizing. It’s making it okay to call for the destruction of Israel and, threats to Jews. And I please ask you to focus on keeping us safe here, everyone, and not legitimizing hate speech. Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, I know part of the work of things like this is definitely in the language, and I want to ask you about that. But before we get into that, how did the supervisors who introduced this resolution talk about why do this at all in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>I think it’s a great question, first of all, because there were people who spoke up during public comment saying that San Francisco should be focused on our local issues. You know, we have a housing crisis. We have an overdose crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>The only consideration of a cease fire really is in the hands of Qatar, Egypt, Hamas and Israel. Not by this board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, why would we be focusing hours of our government’s attention, on something that’s maybe to some, not directly affecting our backyard. But in response to that, there were plenty of people who said, actually, this is affecting people here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ahsha Safaí: \u003c/strong>This is the most gut wrenching issue that I have dealt with on the Board of Supervisors. I have never received more calls, more emails, more people stopping me on the street, people grabbing me wherever I am to tell me how they feel about this moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>Supervisor Ahsha Safaí, you know, he pointed out that he was supporting the resolution because he hoped that it would simply allow members of the community who have lost loved ones or have direct experience with violence in the Middle East, to feel seen and heard by their local leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ahsha Safaí: \u003c/strong>I can tell you, as the only person on this board that was born in that part of the world, and my life began with gunshots ringing outside every single night. This is deeply, deeply personal to me, and I have thought about nothing else more every single day since October the 7th. And so I know this resolution. Some people think it’s not going to do anything. It will allow some people in our communities to feel heard and seen for the very first time, because they feel as though they’re not seen in our city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, the U.S. government funds a lot of military aid in Israel, and that’s something that Hillary Ronen and other supervisors who supported this said that they hope it will send a message to the Biden administration to shift its approach and policies on the war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Speaker: \u003c/strong>I believe we’re going to start something here today that’s going to take off across cities all over the United States. And if enough of us speak out, President Biden will have to listen. And there is no doubt in my mind that without the weapons, money and backing of the United States, the far right government in Israel will not be able to continue its ethnic cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Coming up, the debate over how to word the ceasefire resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Sydney, I mean, I know other Bay area cities have considered resolutions like this and and part of what has made some of them very difficult to pass are these debates around language, and how do we sort of come to a consensus on that? What did those debates look like in San Francisco?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So San Francisco definitely had those debates as well. And this resolution was met with plenty of controversy. So in San Francisco, the language debates did mirror somewhat what we saw in places like Oakland and Berkeley. It was proposed by two supervisors who wanted to make a pretty broad call for a cease fire. That initial version did mention things like the October 7th attacks, but it did not explicitly condemn Hamas for its role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So there was some discussion about including language to label Hamas as a U.S. designated terrorist organization, and, also to include language calling on Hamas to surrender. This was still an issue that other supervisors were unsure of as well. There were multiple supervisors who wanted to see that condemnation of Hamas included in the language. And so on Tuesday, board President Aaron Peskin introduced a handful of changes to try to court skeptical supervisors and reach a unanimous vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin: \u003c/strong>We have not. Succeeded. Arguably, we have failed to use this as an opportunity to bring our people on both sides of this divide together. I came to work and met with several of you, and heard different things, and as president wanted to see if we could bring at least the 11 of us together in a single, statement. And, to that end. I am offering amendments that turn this into a one page resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>That included explicitly condemning Hamas for its attacks on October 7th, but also condemning the Netanyahu administration for the ongoing invasion and airstrikes. It calls on the Biden administration to pursue a cease fire as well, and a handful of other considerations. But there were still some supervisors who said it wasn’t enough and they didn’t reach that consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. Why is that? For at least the supervisors who still decided that they weren’t on board with this? What were some of the things they said at the meeting on Tuesday about why they weren’t supporting the resolution?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>The supervisors who voted no against this, and there were three, said that they still support some of the intention behind what the resolution was holding, but that they just felt it didn’t go hard enough to condemn some of the violence that Hamas has played a role in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Dorsey: \u003c/strong>What haunts me as much as anything I have encountered in more than 20 years of working in this building, is hearing the orchestrated denialism about what happened on October 7th.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, Dorsey in particular, he was saying that it could risk sending a message that terrorism works. And that was something that resonated with, some of the other supervisors as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Dorsey: \u003c/strong>But I am troubled that the pain of some people is being denied. I can’t in good conscience support this resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So what is the language that they ultimately landed on and how did supervisors ultimately vote?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>So the final version condemns both Hamas and Netanyahu for the tens and thousands of deaths that have taken place in Israel and Gaza. It calls for release of all Israeli hostages, demands, an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, and it condemns anti-Semitic, Anti-palestinian, Islamophobic rhetoric and attacks. The supervisors voted 8 to 3 for it to pass, with supervisors Dorsey, Stefani and Mandolin as the only no votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>There were so many cheers. The whole room just erupted. People were throwing scarves and papers in the air. It looked a little bit like a graduation. And yeah, there was just a lot of emotion. And there were, of course, people who were there who were upset to see this pass as well, feeling like they weren’t heard and represented by the language. But the vast majority of people that showed up on Tuesday were filling the halls of the chamber afterwards, cheering and supporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Do we know anything about whether resolutions like these actually have an impact at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>You know, I think that the war in Gaza is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our lifetime. And there are people here in our community that have fled that violence, that have family that is still in Israel and Gaza. And I think that resolutions like this do kind of show where San Franciscos heart and priorities are at that. You know, we are aware that there are these issues that we need to focus on locally. But this is one of those, you know, this is affecting people here, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson: \u003c/strong>And I think that there is a lot to be said about taking a controversial stand like this. When you have a federal administration that is taking the opposite stance in some ways, and coming out and saying, you know, this is not where we’re going to stand, is is pretty tough to do. You know, I think we can only speculate, but, I think that is certainly the intention with resolutions like this is to send a message, take a stand and hope that it inspires some sort of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Sydney, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you. That was Sydney Johnson, a reporter for KQED. This 25 minute conversation with Sydney was cut down and edited by me. Maria Esquinca is our producer.

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://ebudget.ca.gov/FullBudgetSummary.pdf\">unveiled his plan\u003c/a> on Wednesday to close an estimated $37.9 billion budget shortfall by drawing down on state reserves and cutting some previous investments in climate and housing programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s proposal — a $291.5 billion spending plan that kicks off the year’s budget process at the capitol — estimates a smaller deficit than earlier projections from state analysts. Nevertheless, the governor offered a sober assessment of the toll the inflation-battered economy has taken on state finances. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"California Gov. Gavin Newsom\"]‘All of this uncertainty happened because we experienced something we’ve never experienced in the modern history in this state. We had a blindfold on.’[/pullquote]“For decades and decades, we’ve come to expect the unexpected as it relates to the volatility of our tax system,” Newsom said at a press conference in Sacramento, calling the fiscal problems “a story of correction, a story of normalization” after record surpluses during his first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further complicating matters, much of the revenue shortfall is in the budget year that ended last June. Delayed tax collection made it difficult for lawmakers to grasp how much revenue would arrive in state coffers when they negotiated the budget last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of this uncertainty happened because we experienced something we’ve never experienced in the modern history in this state,” Newsom said. “We had a blindfold on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Newsom’s budget taps $13.1 billion from the state’s reserves, cuts $8.5 billion in spending and pulls in $5.7 billion through internal borrowing and a tax on health care providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December, the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4819\">Legislative Analyst’s Office pegged the budget shortfall at $68 billion\u003c/a>, as income tax collections fell 25% in the 2022–23 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said his administration’s smaller deficit projection was largely due to differing estimates of tax revenue in the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are just a little less pessimistic than they are about the next year,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, Newsom said he wants to increase the amount of money the state can stash in reserves during surplus years, which is currently capped at 10% of the general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ten percent is not adequate,” Newsom said. “We’ve got to reconcile the volatility of the capital gains [tax revenue] … and it’s really important to capture more going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate leader Toni Atkins said the rainy-day savings over the last decade have put the state in a stronger position to weather this deficit than in the years following the Great Recession. [aside label='More on California’s Budget' tag='california-budget']“Now, because of more than a decade of responsible budgeting, we’re better prepared to protect the path of progress we’ve made,” Atkins said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans called for Newsom to enact further cuts before tapping state reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Years of out-of-control spending by the governor and the legislative Democrats have added billions of dollars of new ongoing costs,” said Assemblymember Vince Fong (R-Bakersfield) the vice chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. “Until the governor takes control of the unsustainable spending, it is premature to tap the rainy day fund.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his press conference, Newsom bristled at calls for new taxes, suggesting that even discussing ideas such as a “wealth tax” plan damage the state’s reputation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That proposal, which would tax the net worth of high-income residents, is expected to receive an initial hearing in the Legislature on Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no wealth tax, there’s no income tax,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts in Newsom’s budget are centered on reductions on climate programs, with investments dropping from $54 billion to $48.3 billion, by trimming investments in biking and walking projects, along with fire prevention programs such as home hardening and prescribed fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Water and energy are the largest climate reductions of more than a billion dollars.

It now heads to the full Board of Supervisors for final consideration on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had hoped that by now, the assault on Gaza would have stopped, and it has not. In many ways, it has expanded with no end in sight,” Supervisor Dean Preston, who introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24190172/preston-ceasefire-resolution-draft-12-4.pdf\">three-page resolution last month\u003c/a>, told committee members on Monday. “Any thought or hope that this resolution would become mute has vanished. It is more relevant than ever.”[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"gaza\"]Preston’s resolution, co-sponsored by Supervisor Hillary Ronen, includes a specific reference to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/15/world/middleeast/israel-music-festival-massacre.html\">Oct. 7 attack on Israel\u003c/a>, in which Hamas fighters killed an estimated 1,200 people, according to Israeli officials. But the language does not explicitly condemn Hamas for its actions that day, nor does it overtly criticize Israel for its subsequent military campaign in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the two months since the attack, \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/wrapup-blinken-uae-saudi-israel-monday-seeking-avert-wider-middle-east-war-2024-01-07/\">Israel has responded\u003c/a> with a brutal barrage of air strikes and an ongoing ground invasion of Gaza, killing more than 23,000 Palestinians — the majority of whom are women and children — and displacing nearly 85% of the population, according to Gazan authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Matt Dorsey, who cast the only vote against the resolution, unsuccessfully pushed for it to include language that calls for “the surrender of Hamas” and that advocates for a two-state solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, Preston recently proposed amendments that more explicitly condemn both the Hamas and Israeli attacks. But the committee on Monday rejected those additions, instead advancing Preston’s original resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of public commenters, including many doctors and health care workers, lined up for hours inside San Francisco City Hall on Monday to urge the Board of Supervisors’ \u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/rules-committee\">Rules Committee\u003c/a> — comprised of Dorsey, Ahsha Safaí and Shamann Walton — to approve Preston’s original resolution without considering any significant amendments.[aside postID=news_11971971 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231114-APECProtest-05-JY-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My family members in Gaza just relocated to a makeshift tent because their home in northern Gaza was reduced to rubble,” Zaynah Hindi, co-founder of Reem’s, a popular San Francisco restaurant, told the committee. “My co-founder has lost at least 40 members of her family in Gaza.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the nearly five-hour public hearing, community members and supervisors sparred over whether to add the language proposed by Dorsey, which would have also included identifying Hamas as a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we were to, in effect, reward terrorism by platforming grievances that underlie it, even if those grievances are just and right, we have to be explicit in our condemnation of acts of terror,” Dorsey said at the hearing. Omitting that language, he added, “would risk sending a dangerous and unthinkable message that terrorism works.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey was supported by a handful of speakers, including some from local Jewish groups, who advocated for the failed amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m calling for some humility, to acknowledge that Hamas is a terrorist organization,” one San Francisco resident said during public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of speakers on Monday, however, supported the resolution without any amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 60% of U.S. voters said they support a cease-fire in Gaza, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2023/10/19/voters-agree-the-us-should-call-for-a-ceasefire-and-de-escalation-of-violence-in-gaza\">recent polling by Data for Progress\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am the son of U.S concentration camp survivors. I’m here to add my voice to that of thousands who, for the last three months, have demonstrated to demand a halt to the genocide,” said San Francisco resident Don Misumi. “We cannot afford to stand by and allow this to happen. The call for a cease-fire is the absolute minimum we can do. It is our moral obligation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s push for a cease-fire resolution comes after the approval of similar resolutions in a small but growing number of U.S. cities, including Richmond and Oakland. The debate over the issue in both East Bay cities \u003ca href=\"https://omny.fm/shows/kqed-segmented-audio/oakland-city-council-meeting-sparks-controversy-ov\">attracted national attention and accusations of antisemitism\u003c/a> after some public speakers defended Hamas’ actions, and lawmakers ultimately rejected amendments condemning the group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of other commenters also called on supervisors to focus on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza and specifically urge the U.S. and other nations to provide more immediate aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of Gaza’s roughly 2.2 million people lack regular access to food, and about half are now at risk of starvation, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user_upload/ipcinfo/docs/IPC_Gaza_Acute_Food_Insecurity_Nov2023_Feb2024.pdf\">a recent United Nations report (PDF)\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our tax dollars are being used to send weapons to Israel that destroy the health care system and harm health care workers and patients in Gaza,” said Rupa Marya, a UCSF professor of medicine and member of the Do No Harm Coalition. “These funds should be used to support health care systems both here and abroad, uplifting the health of all people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Correction (Jan. 9): The original version of this story incorrectly said that Supervisor Matt Dorsey called for an amendment condemning Hamas. In fact, Supervisor Dean Preston, who wrote the resolution, later proposed an amendment that would have condemned actions by both Hamas and Israel. That amendment was voted down.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Price, who promised to focus on the roots of crime, has been criticized for not doing enough. And nowhere were the tensions over her recall more evident than at a pro recall. Town hall in Emeryville crashed by opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cem>[townhall audio]\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>As much as the recall feels very much in full swing. There’s still a lot that needs to happen before voters in Alameda County are even asked to decide whether they want to remove price from office, including one huge decision voters will have to make in just two months about how recalls in Alameda County are run at all. Today, KQED Annalise Finney explains what we know about how the recall campaign is going so far, and the consequential decisions that still need to be made before voters decide on what to do with their DA. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Annelise, remind us who was behind this recall and why do they want Pamela, price recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The recall is being led by an organization known as SAFE, which stands for Saving Alameda for everyone. Its two principal officers are Karl Chan and Brenda Grisham. Brenda Grisham is a black woman from East Oakland whose son, Christopher, was killed in a shooting in Oakland in 2010. So since then, she’s become a strong victims rights advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Karl Chan was previously the president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. He’s also a realtor. Karl Chan himself was allegedly the victim of an anti-Asian hate crime a while ago. He is often advocating for increased police presence in Chinatown, and very critical of the DA’s treatment of people who are accused of crimes. These two people have really become the face, um, at least within the media, of who the recall campaign represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, you’re getting into this a little bit, Annelise. But, I mean, these are two folks who are very rooted in the community in Oakland, at least. What are some of the specific policies of Pamela Price that they’re criticizing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. So generally, they’ve been talking a lot about what they see as Pamela Price being, quote, soft on crime. One particular policy they point to are sentencing enhancements. There’s gun enhancements. There’s gang enhancements. The three strikes rule, which some people have heard of, was also an enhancement. In California, there are over 100 different types of enhancements, and a lot of people are critical of them, not only D.A. price, because studies have shown that enhancements are applied in an often racially biased way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Pamela Price, back at the beginning of her term, issued a directive that asked her deputies to only charge enhancements in very specific circumstances. And the reason she asked for that is because historically, young people who may be involved in gangs who are black and Latino are more likely 72% more likely to be charged with gang enhancements, which can really bump up the length of a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, that policy of hers are not really surprising, right? Because this is exactly what Pamela Price ran on. She ran as a super progressive district attorney who really wanted to focus more on how do we address the root of crime, as opposed to throwing more folks in jail. Can you remind folks, analise, that this recall effort actually started well before her first year of office even finished? Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So Pamela Price completed her first year in office this month. But Brenda Grisham says that she really began talks with people about starting a recall effort back in April. And even before that, there was an online petition asking people to sign if they were in favor of a recall. So since her first months in office, there have been whisperings of people trying to remove her from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what new information have we learned in most recent months and a about who is actually supporting this recall campaign? Beyond these two faces of the effort that we’ve just been talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So recently, a number of documents from the recall were released by the anti recall campaign, which is Pamela Price’s supporters known as Protect the Win. And it showed that there’s a lot more there beyond Brenda Grisham and Carl Chan. One of those groups is called reviving the Bay area. It’s a political action committee, in other words, a fundraising committee that previously we knew about, but we didn’t know how closely connected they are to the recall campaign. And what we learned is that they’re working in close coordination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So reviving the Bay area is responsible for raising money from affluent individuals in the Bay area and other large businesses is run by two investors. Those are Isaac Abed, who’s a real estate investor in Oakland, and Philip Dreyfuss, who manages the money of affluent people at an investment company in San Francisco. Beyond those two, we also learned about a number of campaign consultants, one of which is Richard Lachman. He is a pretty well known campaign consultant, and one of his major wins in the last few years was running the campaign to recall San Francisco Progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. Why does this matter Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, what’s interesting about this information is it reveals the sort of political machine that’s behind this recall. When we look more closely at these other folks, we see the other interests at play here. A lot of the money that has so far been raised by safe, we know, has come from a lot of tech and real estate interests. And when you add in reviving the Bay area, we know that’s may be a major player here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Now, an interesting fact here is that reviving the Bay area hasn’t yet disclosed who any of its donors are, but they’ve donated more than half $1 million to the recall. Supposedly, at the end of this month, they’re supposed to release the information about who some of their donors are. But until we know that, it’s really hard to know exactly who is funding this. But we know they’re pretty well resourced because they’ve hired some pretty high brass political consultants to support their efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So at least that’s what we know right now about who is behind this effort. Where are we at right now in the recall campaign?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And so we’re still sort of at the beginning of a recall. They haven’t qualified this yet for the ballot, which means that nobody’s voting yet. On whether or not to keep Pamela Price in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>It sounds like there are still a few things that need to be ironed out before voters in Alameda County are even going to be asked this question about the recall, right? What are those things exactly Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah, there are definitely a few things that need to be ironed out. First, the recall has to qualify for the ballot, which means they have to submit the correct number of signatures and their signatures have to be validated. After that, there’s the question of when would an election take place? And there’s been a lot of debate in the county about what type of rules would apply to deciding when a recall election would happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Before we get into them, Annelise is this normal?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>This is not normal. Alameda County hasn’t had a recall election in more than 30 years. So as the county looks back at their rules, they have realized that some things are very outdated and may in fact be unlawful. So the is having to figure out a lot about how to do this as they’re doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay. So let’s start with the first piece there. The signature submissions that the recall campaign needs to gather in order to get this question on the ballot for voters. Remind us what needs to happen exactly as it relates to these signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So here’s what happens. The recall campaign will submit pages and pages and pages and pages of signatures that they’ve gathered from around Alameda County. Then the registrar takes a look at those. They verify them. Then they tally the number of validated signatures to get a grand total. That grand total has to be over 73,195 signatures in order to qualify for the ballot. And the deadline for them to do that is March 5th. If you talk to the recall, they say they’re getting pretty close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And according to members of the recall, around 80% of the signatures they’ve gathered so far have come from this third party signature. Gather, called PCI consultants, in order to collect signatures. And that’s actually really normal for a campaign to pay people to help get signatures. It’s a lot of work, but this is where things get really complicated. The Alameda County rules about how recalls can work. Currently require that signatures be collected by people who are registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>That might invalidate some of the signatures collected by this third party, because, at least anecdotally, we’ve heard that some of the signature gatherers are from out of state, or at least out of the county. The recall says they didn’t know about that rule, and they don’t think it’s lawful. It’s likely that there’ll be a court battle around what signatures will be counted as valid, and what ones will be invalidated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, if they do get the signatures and if the recall campaign actually does have the signatures that it says it has, and this question goes before voters of whether to recall Pamela Price. This will actually be the first recall Alameda County has had in 30 years. What does that mean, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, it means a few different things. Essentially, the most important part is that the Alameda County rules about recalls are pretty outdated. The Alameda County Council recommended that the county update its charter, so its rules for recall to match the state rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The Board of Supervisors voted at the end of last year to actually put this question to voters in March. So on March 5th, there will be a question on the ballot about whether Alameda County should adopt its state recall rules or stick with the county rules. And the reason why this matters is because those rules may impact parts of this potential recall of District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. How exactly could this decision in March ultimately affect everything?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>County rules lay out a different timeline for when that election would happen and the state rules. The county rules make it more likely that an election would be held separate as a special election. So an election that would happen on its own, on its own ballot, and the state rules make it more likely that the election would be paired with a regularly scheduled election. So, like our election, this coming March is a primary election. It includes national, state and local issues. It’s more likely that a recall would then end up on a ballot like that, as opposed to being its own item that voters would vote on on its own, perhaps sometime in April or May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. So you’re talking about one of those elections that we do randomly in the middle of the year. We’re asked one question. Aren’t those elections usually elections that people pay less attention to? Like, what do supporters and opponents think about this question of the timing here? That seems like a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, election experts say that special elections, where it’s just the one issue on the ballot, tend to have a way lower turnout. And the people who turn out to special elections tend to be more conservative voters. In generally scheduled elections. There’s a way bigger turnout.

Price, who promised to focus on the roots of crime, has been criticized for not doing enough. And nowhere were the tensions over her recall more evident than at a pro recall. Town hall in Emeryville crashed by opponents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cem>[townhall audio]\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>As much as the recall feels very much in full swing. There’s still a lot that needs to happen before voters in Alameda County are even asked to decide whether they want to remove price from office, including one huge decision voters will have to make in just two months about how recalls in Alameda County are run at all. Today, KQED Annalise Finney explains what we know about how the recall campaign is going so far, and the consequential decisions that still need to be made before voters decide on what to do with their DA. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Annelise, remind us who was behind this recall and why do they want Pamela, price recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The recall is being led by an organization known as SAFE, which stands for Saving Alameda for everyone. Its two principal officers are Karl Chan and Brenda Grisham. Brenda Grisham is a black woman from East Oakland whose son, Christopher, was killed in a shooting in Oakland in 2010. So since then, she’s become a strong victims rights advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Karl Chan was previously the president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. He’s also a realtor. Karl Chan himself was allegedly the victim of an anti-Asian hate crime a while ago. He is often advocating for increased police presence in Chinatown, and very critical of the DA’s treatment of people who are accused of crimes. These two people have really become the face, um, at least within the media, of who the recall campaign represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, you’re getting into this a little bit, Annelise. But, I mean, these are two folks who are very rooted in the community in Oakland, at least. What are some of the specific policies of Pamela Price that they’re criticizing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. So generally, they’ve been talking a lot about what they see as Pamela Price being, quote, soft on crime. One particular policy they point to are sentencing enhancements. There’s gun enhancements. There’s gang enhancements. The three strikes rule, which some people have heard of, was also an enhancement. In California, there are over 100 different types of enhancements, and a lot of people are critical of them, not only D.A. price, because studies have shown that enhancements are applied in an often racially biased way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Pamela Price, back at the beginning of her term, issued a directive that asked her deputies to only charge enhancements in very specific circumstances. And the reason she asked for that is because historically, young people who may be involved in gangs who are black and Latino are more likely 72% more likely to be charged with gang enhancements, which can really bump up the length of a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, that policy of hers are not really surprising, right? Because this is exactly what Pamela Price ran on. She ran as a super progressive district attorney who really wanted to focus more on how do we address the root of crime, as opposed to throwing more folks in jail. Can you remind folks, analise, that this recall effort actually started well before her first year of office even finished? Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So Pamela Price completed her first year in office this month. But Brenda Grisham says that she really began talks with people about starting a recall effort back in April. And even before that, there was an online petition asking people to sign if they were in favor of a recall. So since her first months in office, there have been whisperings of people trying to remove her from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what new information have we learned in most recent months and a about who is actually supporting this recall campaign? Beyond these two faces of the effort that we’ve just been talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So recently, a number of documents from the recall were released by the anti recall campaign, which is Pamela Price’s supporters known as Protect the Win. And it showed that there’s a lot more there beyond Brenda Grisham and Carl Chan. One of those groups is called reviving the Bay area. It’s a political action committee, in other words, a fundraising committee that previously we knew about, but we didn’t know how closely connected they are to the recall campaign. And what we learned is that they’re working in close coordination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So reviving the Bay area is responsible for raising money from affluent individuals in the Bay area and other large businesses is run by two investors. Those are Isaac Abed, who’s a real estate investor in Oakland, and Philip Dreyfuss, who manages the money of affluent people at an investment company in San Francisco. Beyond those two, we also learned about a number of campaign consultants, one of which is Richard Lachman. He is a pretty well known campaign consultant, and one of his major wins in the last few years was running the campaign to recall San Francisco Progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. Why does this matter Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, what’s interesting about this information is it reveals the sort of political machine that’s behind this recall. When we look more closely at these other folks, we see the other interests at play here. A lot of the money that has so far been raised by safe, we know, has come from a lot of tech and real estate interests. And when you add in reviving the Bay area, we know that’s may be a major player here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Now, an interesting fact here is that reviving the Bay area hasn’t yet disclosed who any of its donors are, but they’ve donated more than half $1 million to the recall. Supposedly, at the end of this month, they’re supposed to release the information about who some of their donors are. But until we know that, it’s really hard to know exactly who is funding this. But we know they’re pretty well resourced because they’ve hired some pretty high brass political consultants to support their efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So at least that’s what we know right now about who is behind this effort. Where are we at right now in the recall campaign?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And so we’re still sort of at the beginning of a recall. They haven’t qualified this yet for the ballot, which means that nobody’s voting yet. On whether or not to keep Pamela Price in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>It sounds like there are still a few things that need to be ironed out before voters in Alameda County are even going to be asked this question about the recall, right? What are those things exactly Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah, there are definitely a few things that need to be ironed out. First, the recall has to qualify for the ballot, which means they have to submit the correct number of signatures and their signatures have to be validated. After that, there’s the question of when would an election take place? And there’s been a lot of debate in the county about what type of rules would apply to deciding when a recall election would happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Before we get into them, Annelise is this normal?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>This is not normal. Alameda County hasn’t had a recall election in more than 30 years. So as the county looks back at their rules, they have realized that some things are very outdated and may in fact be unlawful. So the is having to figure out a lot about how to do this as they’re doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay. So let’s start with the first piece there. The signature submissions that the recall campaign needs to gather in order to get this question on the ballot for voters. Remind us what needs to happen exactly as it relates to these signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So here’s what happens. The recall campaign will submit pages and pages and pages and pages of signatures that they’ve gathered from around Alameda County. Then the registrar takes a look at those. They verify them. Then they tally the number of validated signatures to get a grand total. That grand total has to be over 73,195 signatures in order to qualify for the ballot. And the deadline for them to do that is March 5th. If you talk to the recall, they say they’re getting pretty close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And according to members of the recall, around 80% of the signatures they’ve gathered so far have come from this third party signature. Gather, called PCI consultants, in order to collect signatures. And that’s actually really normal for a campaign to pay people to help get signatures. It’s a lot of work, but this is where things get really complicated. The Alameda County rules about how recalls can work. Currently require that signatures be collected by people who are registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>That might invalidate some of the signatures collected by this third party, because, at least anecdotally, we’ve heard that some of the signature gatherers are from out of state, or at least out of the county. The recall says they didn’t know about that rule, and they don’t think it’s lawful. It’s likely that there’ll be a court battle around what signatures will be counted as valid, and what ones will be invalidated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, if they do get the signatures and if the recall campaign actually does have the signatures that it says it has, and this question goes before voters of whether to recall Pamela Price. This will actually be the first recall Alameda County has had in 30 years. What does that mean, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, it means a few different things. Essentially, the most important part is that the Alameda County rules about recalls are pretty outdated. The Alameda County Council recommended that the county update its charter, so its rules for recall to match the state rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The Board of Supervisors voted at the end of last year to actually put this question to voters in March. So on March 5th, there will be a question on the ballot about whether Alameda County should adopt its state recall rules or stick with the county rules. And the reason why this matters is because those rules may impact parts of this potential recall of District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. How exactly could this decision in March ultimately affect everything?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>County rules lay out a different timeline for when that election would happen and the state rules. The county rules make it more likely that an election would be held separate as a special election. So an election that would happen on its own, on its own ballot, and the state rules make it more likely that the election would be paired with a regularly scheduled election. So, like our election, this coming March is a primary election. It includes national, state and local issues. It’s more likely that a recall would then end up on a ballot like that, as opposed to being its own item that voters would vote on on its own, perhaps sometime in April or May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. So you’re talking about one of those elections that we do randomly in the middle of the year. We’re asked one question. Aren’t those elections usually elections that people pay less attention to? Like, what do supporters and opponents think about this question of the timing here? That seems like a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, election experts say that special elections, where it’s just the one issue on the ballot, tend to have a way lower turnout. And the people who turn out to special elections tend to be more conservative voters. In generally scheduled elections. There’s a way bigger turnout. It’s a much more diverse body of voters, and the results tend to be a little bit more progressive. So what this means for the recall is that folks who support the recall are really wanting to have a special election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>They think it would favor the chances that Pamela Price would be recalled. The anti recall campaign want it to be scheduled with a general election for the exact opposite reason, essentially because of the same logic, they think a general election will skew more progressive and make it more likely that D.A. price would be allowed to stay in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay, so that is a lot to remember. Annelise. So how would you maybe just summarize what voters should keep at the top of their minds for now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So this March, there won’t be a recall on the ballot. We’re not quite there yet, but this question of whether the county should adopt state rules on how to run a recall or stick with county rules will be on the ballot. And this is honestly just sort of a kind of technocratic how government works question. It’s unfortunately become very politicized because there’s a recall effort underway right now. One supervisor said that, you know, there’s never the wrong time to do the right thing. But if there was, maybe this is it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>It’s become this big question of like, oh, will you vote for the county rules because you support the recall? Or will you vote for the state rules because you support price? If the rules do end up changing, there may be more court battles about whether or not this applies to Pamela Price’s recall.

And I guess just for voters to remember that, that this question may seem boring and procedural, but that it could affect the outcome of the recall campaign. Well, Annalise, what are you going to be watching moving forward?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So I’m really keeping a close eye on two things.

[aside label='More Stories on California Politics' tag='donald-trump']Just hours after the ruling Tuesday, Trump’s team sent an email with the subject line “REMOVED FROM THE BALLOT,” urging supporters to give to his campaign.

[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Justin Levitt, constitutional law professor, Loyola Law School\"]‘There are a lot of questions that, if we get to November and the American people decide they don’t want him as their chief executive, that the courts never have to decide.’[/pullquote]The “thoughtful” opinion gives other courts something to look at, to see if they agree or disagree, he noted. But he said the incentives remain basically the same for Trump’s team to slow the process down and for the other side to speed things up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It punts this a few months down the road but doesn’t actually stop the clock on any of the other proceedings,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the Supreme Court has a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/07/13/1185496055/supreme-court-conservative-majority-thomas-trump-bush\">conservative supermajority\u003c/a>, including three justices appointed by Trump himself, it’s unclear how it would rule on the Colorado appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Wehle, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/20/1220559030/constitutional-scholar-discusses-colorado-ruling-baaring-trump-from-primary-ball\">told \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that she believes the Supreme Court would take this case seriously because of the massive implications it holds not just for 2024 but for future elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there should be an incentive along the way to say to would-be presidents, ‘Listen, don’t do what happened on Jan. 6, there’ll be consequences for it,'” she added. “But we’re in a politicized world, and we have, arguably, a politicized Supreme Court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say it could choose to send the case back to the state level or avoid ruling on the merits in some other way (like focusing on the wording of the clause, as the lower court in Colorado did).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the only consequential case regarding Trump at the Supreme Court. The federal special counsel has asked the justices to quickly decide whether the former president \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/11/1218558297/trump-immunity-supreme-court-election-case\">enjoyed broad immunity\u003c/a> from criminal charges as a result of his office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When considering the 14th Amendment, Levitt says the tough question is not whether Trump is qualified to hold office but who gets to make that call. He believes the courts will want to leave it up to voters and says he’s a little skeptical that “the law is going to decide this issue before the people do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of questions that, if we get to November and the American people decide they don’t want him as their chief executive, that the courts never have to decide,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR’s Vanessa Romo contributed reporting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Anna Eshoo announced in late November that she would not seek another term after a long career in Congress that began with her election in 1992. Thirteen contenders threw their hat in the ring before the close of the candidate filing period on Wednesday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With less than seven weeks before voting begins, candidates will have to quickly raise money and gain endorsements before the March primary. Regardless of party, two candidates will advance to the general election in November. Here’s an early look at the baker’s dozen House hopefuls who filed to represent a district that stretches from Pacifica to San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Frontrunners \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The truncated campaign is advantageous to candidates who voters already know. Three Democrats currently (or recently) have represented considerable swaths of the district in elected office and have the fundraising and political networks to amplify their message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sam Liccardo\u003c/strong>: Nearly 36% of the registered voters in the 16th congressional district live in San José and will likely be familiar with Liccardo from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11936268/were-finally-paving-our-streets-exit-interview-with-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo\">his recent tenure as the city’s mayor\u003c/a>. During his two terms from 2015 to 2023, Liccardo helped engineer a fiscal turnaround in San José — lifting the city from a pension crisis to a budget surplus. Liccardo could face criticism for rising homelessness during his time in office, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11936268/were-finally-paving-our-streets-exit-interview-with-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo\">a trend that Liccardo took responsibility for \u003c/a>toward the end of his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Evan Low\u003c/strong>: Low \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11957927/evan-low-on-barriers-to-democracy-and-californias-travel-ban\">is looking to make history (again)\u003c/a> as the Bay Area’s first openly LGBTQ member of Congress. When he was elected mayor of Campbell in 2009, Low was the youngest Asian and openly gay mayor in America. Since 2014, he’s represented parts of this congressional district in the state Assembly and has won plaudits from progressives for his pro-LGBTQ legislation, and he recently scored an endorsement from Rep. Ro Khanna. Unlike other progressives, Low has maintained close ties to law enforcement — touting his brother’s service in the San José Police Department and voting in 2018 against a closely-watched bill to open up police misconduct records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe Simitian:\u003c/strong> A Santa Clara County supervisor and former state legislator, Simitian seemed the best prepared for Eshoo’s abrupt retirement announcement. Simitian has been raising money to run for the seat since 2009, stockpiling $681,003 in his campaign account. Simitian, who is 70, enters the race with the most experience on issues like housing and transportation but will undoubtedly face questions about his age and whether Bay Area voters are ready to send another septuagenarian to Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Sleepers \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three Democrats bring unique backgrounds and experiences into the race that could capture the attention of voters. In a crowded field, it may take less than 20% of the vote to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Peter Dixon:\u003c/strong> Dixon turned heads with an AI-assisted campaign launch video that offered a computer-generated tour through his service in the Marines and later in the State Department during the Obama administration. After returning home to the Bay Area, Dixon started a national security software company. He’s also the co-founder of the nonprofit With Honor Action, which works to elect more veterans to Congress across party lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rishi Kumar: \u003c/strong>Eshoo defeated Kumar in the last two general elections, but last year, Kumar grabbed 42% of the vote, a sizable number for an underfunded candidate challenging a longtime incumbent. Kumar is a former member of the Saratoga City Council and a Democratic Party activist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julie Lythcott-Haims: \u003c/strong>As the only woman in the race, Lythcott-Haims will stress the importance of maintaining female leadership in the district. A former Stanford dean, Lythcott-Haims serves on the Palo Alto City Council and is also a \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> bestselling author of \u003cem>How to Raise an Adult\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Republicans \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In what feels like a political lifetime ago, Republican Tom Campbell represented much of the current 16th District in Congress between 1989 and 2001. A Republican has little chance of winning this seat in 2024, but if GOP voters, who represent 16% of voters in the district, consolidate behind a single candidate, it’s possible that a Republican can sneak into the general election. Having two Republicans in the field makes even getting out of the primary a challenge for the GOP, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Peter Ohtaki:\u003c/strong> Ohtaki served on the Menlo Park City Council from 2010 until 2018 and has made runs for state Assembly and this House seat in the past.

Here’s an early look at the baker’s dozen House hopefuls who filed to represent a district that stretches from Pacifica to San José.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Frontrunners \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The truncated campaign is advantageous to candidates who voters already know. Three Democrats currently (or recently) have represented considerable swaths of the district in elected office and have the fundraising and political networks to amplify their message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sam Liccardo\u003c/strong>: Nearly 36% of the registered voters in the 16th congressional district live in San José and will likely be familiar with Liccardo from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11936268/were-finally-paving-our-streets-exit-interview-with-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo\">his recent tenure as the city’s mayor\u003c/a>. During his two terms from 2015 to 2023, Liccardo helped engineer a fiscal turnaround in San José — lifting the city from a pension crisis to a budget surplus. Liccardo could face criticism for rising homelessness during his time in office, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11936268/were-finally-paving-our-streets-exit-interview-with-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo\">a trend that Liccardo took responsibility for \u003c/a>toward the end of his tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Evan Low\u003c/strong>: Low \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11957927/evan-low-on-barriers-to-democracy-and-californias-travel-ban\">is looking to make history (again)\u003c/a> as the Bay Area’s first openly LGBTQ member of Congress. When he was elected mayor of Campbell in 2009, Low was the youngest Asian and openly gay mayor in America. Since 2014, he’s represented parts of this congressional district in the state Assembly and has won plaudits from progressives for his pro-LGBTQ legislation, and he recently scored an endorsement from Rep. Ro Khanna. Unlike other progressives, Low has maintained close ties to law enforcement — touting his brother’s service in the San José Police Department and voting in 2018 against a closely-watched bill to open up police misconduct records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joe Simitian:\u003c/strong> A Santa Clara County supervisor and former state legislator, Simitian seemed the best prepared for Eshoo’s abrupt retirement announcement. Simitian has been raising money to run for the seat since 2009, stockpiling $681,003 in his campaign account. Simitian, who is 70, enters the race with the most experience on issues like housing and transportation but will undoubtedly face questions about his age and whether Bay Area voters are ready to send another septuagenarian to Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A Republican has little chance of winning this seat in 2024, but if GOP voters, who represent 16% of voters in the district, consolidate behind a single candidate, it’s possible that a Republican can sneak into the general election. Having two Republicans in the field makes even getting out of the primary a challenge for the GOP, however.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Peter Ohtaki:\u003c/strong> Ohtaki served on the Menlo Park City Council from 2010 until 2018 and has made runs for state Assembly and this House seat in the past. Currently, he is a crisis management executive at Wells Fargo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Karl Ryan: \u003c/strong>Ryan is a member of the Santa Clara County Republican Party Central Committee, the board of local officials who work to elect Republicans in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The Rest of the Field\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Five more candidates round out the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Joby Bernstein: \u003c/strong>A Stanford graduate student working on a joint MBA and master’s degree in climate science.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Richard Fox:\u003c/strong> A retired pediatrician and attorney, Fox ran for this seat in 2014, 2016, 2020 and 2022 as a Republican.
