A nonprofit director who filed a whistleblower complaint over the rental said Davis asked her to book the house and to split the invoice into two separate payments, the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Proposition Q allows such no-bid payments under a certain limit and bars departments from splitting invoices to meet that limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/09/12/san-francisco-dream-keeper-initiative-sheryl-davis-james-spingola-nonprofit/\">\u003cem>The San Francisco Standard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> also reported Thursday that Davis approved up to $1.5 million in contracts for Collective Impact, a local nonprofit run by a man with whom she has a close relationship. Davis and James Spingola shared a home address and acknowledged their relationship in interviews, the Standard reported, but she has not formally disclosed it to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED reached out to Davis for comment but did not receive a response before publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s opponents for mayor wasted no time criticizing her administration for enabling nepotism and improper spending and bookkeeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of hours these two insiders have eroded public trust for years to come,” nonprofit executive Daniel Lurie said in a statement. “It’s time to turn the page on corruption in San Francisco. Our residents and taxpayers deserve accountable, effective leadership — no more backroom deals, conflicts of interest, or pay-to-play schemes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s recently proposed anti-corruption plan includes removing campaign fundraising loopholes, raising filing fees for candidates who have records of ethics misconduct, fully funding the Ethics Commission, and creating an ethics enforcement dashboard to track financial reports and other potential conflicts of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also takes a direct swing at fellow mayoral candidate Mark Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor, who has come under scrutiny over committees that have raised millions of dollars backing a ballot measure he supports. Individual contributions to candidate campaigns are limited to $500, but Farrell’s opponents say he has been able to benefit from money raised for the ballot measure to slash the number of city commissions, which is supported by TogetherSF Action, a moderate political organizing group that has endorsed Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Farrell said Breed should fire Davis “immediately” and called for federal authorities to investigate the mayor’s ties to the scandal. He has put forward his own anti-corruption plans, which include centralizing all third-party nonprofit contacts under the mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all too telling that one of Mayor Breed’s signature initiatives is rife with scandal, systemic misspending, and clear mismanagement.

A nonprofit director who filed a whistleblower complaint over the rental said Davis asked her to book the house and to split the invoice into two separate payments, the \u003cem>Chronicle\u003c/em> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s Proposition Q allows such no-bid payments under a certain limit and bars departments from splitting invoices to meet that limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/09/12/san-francisco-dream-keeper-initiative-sheryl-davis-james-spingola-nonprofit/\">\u003cem>The San Francisco Standard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> also reported Thursday that Davis approved up to $1.5 million in contracts for Collective Impact, a local nonprofit run by a man with whom she has a close relationship. Davis and James Spingola shared a home address and acknowledged their relationship in interviews, the Standard reported, but she has not formally disclosed it to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED reached out to Davis for comment but did not receive a response before publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s opponents for mayor wasted no time criticizing her administration for enabling nepotism and improper spending and bookkeeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a matter of hours these two insiders have eroded public trust for years to come,” nonprofit executive Daniel Lurie said in a statement. “It’s time to turn the page on corruption in San Francisco. Our residents and taxpayers deserve accountable, effective leadership — no more backroom deals, conflicts of interest, or pay-to-play schemes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s recently proposed anti-corruption plan includes removing campaign fundraising loopholes, raising filing fees for candidates who have records of ethics misconduct, fully funding the Ethics Commission, and creating an ethics enforcement dashboard to track financial reports and other potential conflicts of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also takes a direct swing at fellow mayoral candidate Mark Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor, who has come under scrutiny over committees that have raised millions of dollars backing a ballot measure he supports. Individual contributions to candidate campaigns are limited to $500, but Farrell’s opponents say he has been able to benefit from money raised for the ballot measure to slash the number of city commissions, which is supported by TogetherSF Action, a moderate political organizing group that has endorsed Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Farrell said Breed should fire Davis “immediately” and called for federal authorities to investigate the mayor’s ties to the scandal. He has put forward his own anti-corruption plans, which include centralizing all third-party nonprofit contacts under the mayor’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all too telling that one of Mayor Breed’s signature initiatives is rife with scandal, systemic misspending, and clear mismanagement.

The district contracted the American Jewish Committee to provide training at George Washington High School, Galileo Academy of Science and Technology, Abraham Lincoln High School and Balboa High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The training was titled “Who Are the Jews: Jewish Identity and Antisemitism in 2024,” and there was a plan to include more schools in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 11 months since Hamas attacked Israel, and since Israel retaliated with a military campaign in Gaza that has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, schools across the Bay Area have been disrupted by tension over how to supervise education about the war, political expression by faculty and students, and accusations of antisemitism and Islamophobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The workshop cancellation reveals a unique challenge facing school districts, teachers, administrators and parents tasked with educating students in a multicultural setting like San Francisco’s public schools amid a fraught and emotional conflict that hits close to home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To understand how the workshop unraveled, KQED spoke with parents, staff and experts, along with advocacy groups that supported or opposed the training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks don’t focus as much as we should on just how hard it is to educate effectively and appropriately about issues that are this complex and nuanced, like the history of Israel and the Middle East, as well as where the stakes are enormously high and emotions are understandably high, like the war in Gaza, because people are dying,” Joe Kahne, a UC Merced professor who studies student civic engagement, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003861 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/UCBerkeleyMakdisi-1020x698.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, dozens of teachers in Oakland participated in unauthorized teach-ins, presenting pro-Palestinian lessons. In May, Berkeley Unified School District Superintendent Enikia Ford Morthel \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985599/berkeley-antisemitism-hearing\">testified before Congress\u003c/a> on the district’s handling of antisemitism allegations in public schools after a group of Jewish parents, along with the Brandeis Center and Anti-Defamation League, filed a federal complaint in February alleging severe antisemitism in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, the U.S. Department of Education announced investigations into SFUSD and Oakland Unified School District for alleged civil rights violations and claims of religious discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some SFUSD parents and local community groups raised alarms about the American Jewish Committee’s support for Israel. In an internal email forwarded to staff by school principals on Monday, SFUSD administrators Karling Aguilera-Fort and Davina Goldwasser said the workshop wouldn’t take a position on the Israel-Hamas war and that the training was “just awareness building.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday morning, Katrina Kincade, an SFUSD spokesperson, told KQED that the workshops would be rescheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to ensure each and every student and staff member feels and experiences safety and a sense of belonging in our schools,” she said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julia David, an English teacher at George Washington, said that the idea for the training originated among parents and staff concerned about the treatment of Jewish students in the city’s schools. She described incidents ranging from pro-Palestinian student walkouts to protests of war to reports of “Free Palestine” being written on campus to graffiti of swastikas on campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also said the Jewish Student Union, which she sponsors, had been made to feel uncomfortable on campus by staff who identified as pro-Palestine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12003439 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/UCSFProPalestineProtest1-1020x792.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought that it was really important to have training about Jewish identity in a multicultural society led by Jews,” David said. “Being a Jewish student in the middle of a really charged political time has brought unique challenges to our school and to our students, and to our educators and our parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This training is just about educating people on what the Jewish identity is and our experiences.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David said she and a small group of other Jewish parents and staff reached out to the American Jewish Committee, one of the oldest Jewish advocacy organizations. The nonprofit agreed to provide the workshops at no cost to the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Lee Filner pointed out that the AJC was chosen by the Biden administration to lead the national effort against antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have just been too many antisemitic incidents in the district,” Filner said. “It’s leading a lot of parents I personally know to flee the district for private school, and we just can’t afford to lose more students from the district. Especially in this budget situation, because we’ve created a hostile environment for students just because of who they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An email announcing the workshops reached a group of Jewish parents and political organizers who are critical of Israel. Alex Lantsberg, a Jewish parent of students at two of the high schools on the workshop list, said he was shocked and dismayed when he learned about the AJC-led training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Educating people on antisemitism is absolutely imperative in this time when antisemitism is being used to justify an ongoing genocide,” he said. “If SFUSD wanted to actually assist its faculty and staff, it would be best to do so in a way that actually recognizes the multiple strands of Jewish thought regarding the question of antisemitism and how all of these things come together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents of Palestinian students in the district, like Sonya Awwad, questioned how closely the AJC’s values align with San Francisco’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a group that openly opposes a cease-fire in this war and does not have a neutral position in the conflict,” she said. “And San Francisco did vote on a resolution for a cease-fire, so that in itself seems conflicting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressive groups affiliated with SFUSD, like the Arab Resource Organizing Committee, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Jewish Voices for Peace, criticized the workshop. The groups called for the district to hold a similar training about Islamophobia or anti-Palestinian sentiment, which they said is also on the rise, according to a joint press release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Awwad and a small group of parents met with administrators to discuss the war’s impact on their children. Awwad said parents described bullying, racism and isolation plaguing students, particularly those with family in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12002125 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/20240827_SFUSDPROTEST_GC-10-KQED-1020x749.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any kind of anti-racism training is important,” Awwad said. “So why are our students’ concerns not being met with training that would advocate for them as well?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several parents who advocated for antisemitism training said the overwhelming political messaging coming into their children’s schools made it difficult for students to learn. Some voiced their frustrations with AROC, a group that has come under scrutiny for facilitating student walkouts at SFUSD schools. After a parent group demanded an investigation into AROC’s contract with schools last year, students rallied outside of the district’s office in the organization’s defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Brysk, the AJC’s regional director of northern California, hopes the antisemitism training will be rescheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We neither endorse nor oppose candidates for office. We’re an apolitical organization, not only because that’s what the law requires, but we’re also known to be a nonpartisan organization that doesn’t engage in politics,” he said. “More importantly, I don’t see how that relates to anti-bias training about antisemitism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 50,000 students are enrolled in San Francisco public schools, which educate the majority of the city’s children. As SFUSD struggles with low enrollment, administrators must worry about retaining students. At the same time, they are trying to placate teachers, including many who embrace progressive politics and parents who have increasingly demanded a say in how schools respond to the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these tense moments may raise big questions for schools, Kahne said there are inevitable learning opportunities — for children and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As educators, we often say our goal is to teach young people how to think, not what to think. A big part of what educators should be doing in those contexts is modeling,” Kahne said. “The better we do that, the better our democracy will run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, what we are seeing is that many teachers are choosing to do less of this kind of work, and many districts are putting less support towards this kind of work in an effort to avoid conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The nonprofit agreed to provide the workshops at no cost to the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Lee Filner pointed out that the AJC was chosen by the Biden administration to lead the national effort against antisemitism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There have just been too many antisemitic incidents in the district,” Filner said. “It’s leading a lot of parents I personally know to flee the district for private school, and we just can’t afford to lose more students from the district. Especially in this budget situation, because we’ve created a hostile environment for students just because of who they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An email announcing the workshops reached a group of Jewish parents and political organizers who are critical of Israel. Alex Lantsberg, a Jewish parent of students at two of the high schools on the workshop list, said he was shocked and dismayed when he learned about the AJC-led training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Educating people on antisemitism is absolutely imperative in this time when antisemitism is being used to justify an ongoing genocide,” he said. “If SFUSD wanted to actually assist its faculty and staff, it would be best to do so in a way that actually recognizes the multiple strands of Jewish thought regarding the question of antisemitism and how all of these things come together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents of Palestinian students in the district, like Sonya Awwad, questioned how closely the AJC’s values align with San Francisco’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a group that openly opposes a cease-fire in this war and does not have a neutral position in the conflict,” she said. “And San Francisco did vote on a resolution for a cease-fire, so that in itself seems conflicting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Progressive groups affiliated with SFUSD, like the Arab Resource Organizing Committee, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and Jewish Voices for Peace, criticized the workshop. The groups called for the district to hold a similar training about Islamophobia or anti-Palestinian sentiment, which they said is also on the rise, according to a joint press release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Awwad and a small group of parents met with administrators to discuss the war’s impact on their children. Awwad said parents described bullying, racism and isolation plaguing students, particularly those with family in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some voiced their frustrations with AROC, a group that has come under scrutiny for facilitating student walkouts at SFUSD schools. After a parent group demanded an investigation into AROC’s contract with schools last year, students rallied outside of the district’s office in the organization’s defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Brysk, the AJC’s regional director of northern California, hopes the antisemitism training will be rescheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We neither endorse nor oppose candidates for office. We’re an apolitical organization, not only because that’s what the law requires, but we’re also known to be a nonpartisan organization that doesn’t engage in politics,” he said. “More importantly, I don’t see how that relates to anti-bias training about antisemitism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 50,000 students are enrolled in San Francisco public schools, which educate the majority of the city’s children. As SFUSD struggles with low enrollment, administrators must worry about retaining students. At the same time, they are trying to placate teachers, including many who embrace progressive politics and parents who have increasingly demanded a say in how schools respond to the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While these tense moments may raise big questions for schools, Kahne said there are inevitable learning opportunities — for children and adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As educators, we often say our goal is to teach young people how to think, not what to think. A big part of what educators should be doing in those contexts is modeling,” Kahne said. “The better we do that, the better our democracy will run.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unfortunately, what we are seeing is that many teachers are choosing to do less of this kind of work, and many districts are putting less support towards this kind of work in an effort to avoid conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They were staying in laundromats.

KQED’s Sydney Johnson tells us how the candidates are trying to woo voters in this year’s mayoral race, especially when it comes to public safety.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"card card--enclosed grey\">\n\u003cp id=\"embed-code\" class=\"inconsolata\">\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=KQINC1608627583&light=true\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a computer-generated transcript. While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:50] I’m Ericka Cruz Guevara and welcome to the bay. Local news to keep you rooted. If you want to win over San Francisco, you’re going to have to win over the Chinese American community, which makes up nearly 22% of the city’s population. And Chinese Americans have a long history of political organizing in the city. From the fight to desegregate schools to advocating for safe, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:21] And so mayoral hopefuls really see this as an activated and significant voting bloc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] For this voting bloc, public safety is a top issue in this year’s mayoral race. Today, what candidates for mayor are doing to win over Chinese American voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:42] Chinese-Americans in this city have had a long history of political organizing and activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:49] Sidney Johnson is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:53] Some of the larger neighborhoods where this community is concentrated include Chinatown, which historically has a lot more renters. There’s also on the west side in the Richmond the Sunset. It’s a little bit more suburban. You have some more homeowners and families also Viz Valley, you know, in the southeast corner of the city, a little more working class, a little bit more diverse. And, you know, these candidates are looking at all of those neighborhoods really closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:25] And you mentioned Chinese American voters being very active for many years on many different issues. But what is rising to the top for a Chinese American voters this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:06:36] Over the years, polls have shown that issues that rise to the top for Chinese Americans in San Francisco are things like education and housing and affordability, you know, kind of just daily life issues. But in recent years, there was a real spike in attacks against Asian Americans here in San Francisco and across the country. And San Francisco in particular, really became a hub for stop AAPI hate activism. And that energy carried over and public safety kind of ballooned into this top issue for a lot of these voters in the 2022 election season. We saw that energy harnessed and Chinese Americans really showed up to the polls for the school board recall and the district attorney recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] And you went to actually talk to Chinese American voters. What is this the the range of things that you heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:36] They said that things, you know, maybe feel a little bit better right now, but that’s compared to some of the worst days of the pandemic and they still don’t feel safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:45] Hopefully. Yeah. What’s troubling you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:47] Yeah. Everything? Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] I met Diane Lee at the Sunset Night Market a couple of Fridays ago. She was walking around with a couple of her girlfriends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:57] Well, the homeless, right? Crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:00] She said she’s lived here almost her whole life, but she’s never felt less safe than she does now and is worried about her grandchildren growing up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:08:09] I mean, they’re 12 years old. We want to make sure that they’re not they’re safe on the, you know, the buses that they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:17] Diane pulled no punches. She said she’s a moderate Democrat, but that she’s just fed up. Even though rates around violent crime and retail theft are lower right now. But she said that there’s just this feeling of, you know, discomfort and disarray that she hasn’t been able to kick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:35] And I’m sorry, I didn’t ask her name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I’m Fiona. Fiona, your Sydney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:39] Fiona Tan grew up around San Francisco. She is attending college and is home right now for summer and is working on Aaron Peskin’s campaign as a volunteer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:50] I think the big thing for me is like it seems like the public safety is a big issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] You know, she really wants to see community solutions for issues that have been going on around public safety since Covid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:04] You know, there’s been a lot of Asian hate, and I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed. You know, somebody pushed into the subway not too long ago this year and things like that were just, you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:15] At the end of the day, I think it’s really about how people feel when they’re doing their daily activities. Can I buy groceries for my family? Is my street clean and can my children walk home safe from school? And, you know, I really have heard from some folks things as extreme as, you know, trying to increase incarceration and increase that type of accountability. But also a lot of Chinese American voters who are like, we need to keep people housed and work on these root causes of some of these crimes, like poverty, and how do we improve that within our own communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:48] I think everything stems from that one issue of public safety. And I think if we can address that, we can address everything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:56] So what are the different ways that these mayoral candidates are trying to win over Chinese-American voters like Diane and Fiona?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah. You know, there there is a lot of overlap in terms of actual policies that they’re putting forward. You know, a lot of the candidates are saying we want a fully staffed the police department. Things like increasing foot patrols. But there is kind of a wide gulf between how the candidates are leaning into public safety as a topic. Some kind of further on the right are really leaning into that fear and that feeling of discomfort that has lingered from the pandemic. And then you have others that are kind of trying to talk about that. The city is already improving and we’re trying to make that better and bring people together. So how how candidates are actually talking about this can vary, but this political spectrum that we’re working with here is all moderate Democrats for the most part, you know, minus Peskin, who leans a little bit more progressive from that as well. Aside from just the, you know, conversations and rhetoric, candidates are also trying to show that they’re not just, you know, talking the talk. So they’re hiring chiefs of staff that are Chinese American. They’re hiring volunteers, different age brackets to speak with their communities and share messages on WeChat and get out there and speak in their native languages. And so that is really a big focus of these campaigns as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:36] Yeah. Let’s talk about how some of these candidates are trying to court Chinese-American voters, starting with Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:46] Are we ready yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:48] Well, Breed has been, you know, really out and about this whole election season, getting in front of voters and Chinese American voters in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] It is because of our Chinese community that we are on the map as a global city with one of the.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:04] I recently attended a event that she had in Chinatown at a restaurant where she was surrounded by merchants and community leaders who were announcing their support for her to be reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:18] And why so many of these incredible leaders are here to support me today is because they know that I have been very aggressive about ensuring San Francisco’s place on the global stage. The, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] Breed admitted to some of the real struggles at the city, and that community in particular were going through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:40] The rise in anti-Asian hate impacted this neighborhood more than any other neighborhood in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:47] But then she comes around that and says, but look at what we’ve done. And she talks about things like increasing surveillance tools for the police, which was something that she got passed on the March ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] And now, as crime is at its lowest, its lowest in over ten years, it’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] And so she was really trying to come out and say, hey, look, we are doing more to address safety. And look, we are supporting police here. And at the same time, you know, in all of that, trying to make these voters believe that the city is on a better track and that Breed is the one who’s steering that ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:27] Yeah, she sort of has the tough job of trying to convince people that she has been doing something about this, this feeling of an increase in crime rate because she is the incumbent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] Right. And it’s a hard line to walk because you also can’t deny, you know, and invalidate voters concerns and voters fears, but trying to convince them that you are doing more and that things are on a better track at the same time is is a really tricky line to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:59] Now, let’s talk about Mark Farrell. And can you actually even remind us who he is and how he’s sort of been trying to court Chinese American voters in the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:14:09] Yeah. Mark Farrell is a former supervisor and was actually an interim mayor in San Francisco. And he has been coming out with some of the most pro-police proposals of any of the candidates. He’s talked about ordering a state of emergency in his first 100 days and having the National Guard with boots on the ground in San Francisco. Like other candidates, too, he wants to fully fund the police department. He wants to increase police academy is throughout the year, wants to increase police salaries and expand city wide bans on things like illegal vending, increase law enforcement, foot patrols and presence around areas like U.N. Plaza and the Tenderloin. He’s also taken opportunities like the recent shooting of a 49ers player near Union Square to say Breed’s efforts to make the city safe are lagging. You know, Breed said that was a crass, opportunistic play and defended the city’s crime stats. But, you know, it’s really been sort of this attack on how San Francisco hasn’t done enough to make people feel safe. And that has really been Mark Farrell’s approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:16] It is together that we will win this election in November and we will bring San Francisco back and make sure that is the public safety that we all deserve here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:15:26] I went to an event recently in this valley with Mark Farrell, where he was surrounded by Chinese American elders, and he was announcing his endorsement from the Sheriffs Association. You know, he pretty quickly started talking about just how things like crime and he mentioned homelessness have gotten out of control in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:46] Right. When you talk to people and they see the local Walgreens and CBS stores getting looted every single day in front of their own eyes, that doesn’t make them feel safe in their neighborhoods. When you have specific communities like our AAPI community here in San Francisco have hate crimes just against them because of the color of their skin or who they look like. That to me is unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:07] And that there needs to be a change in city hall and someone who’s going to be tough on crime. I think really, you know, he’s been focusing on pointing out the real problems at the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] We have had failed leadership in city hall under Mayor Breed in terms of public safety. Not only our police department, not only our fire department. And as we’ve talked about today in our sheriff’s department, we need a mayor who’s going to prioritize it. Once again, I will do exactly that as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:32] Sounds like he’s speaking very much to the people who don’t like how things might be working in San Francisco right now. Right. And Daniel Lurie, the the Levi Strauss heir sort of is also positioning himself as this outsider candidate. How have you seen him courting Chinese-American voters as probably the lesser known candidate in the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:57] You know, I think one thing that Daniel’s been doing to court any voter across the city is is actually leaning into that fact that he’s an outsider and saying, look, the people that I’m running against have been in city hall and they got us into this mess. And Lurie, as you know, he founded this nonprofit called The Tipping Point, which is a big anti poverty nonprofit. He’s saying, I can translate this experience and change some things in city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:17:22] The store owners and the merchants on that street. Many AAPI store owners say to me every single time I’m out there, public safety is sort of their number one issue in Chinatown. Public safety’s their number one issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:37] In terms of public safety. There are still some overlaps with opponents on on all sides that he’s up against. You know, he also wants to declare a state of emergency, although he doesn’t plan to bring in the National Guard and have boots on the ground. So there’s some similarity and difference there with Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:59] I recently followed Daniel Lurie around the sunset night market, which, you know, this is a really prominent Asian American community. There was just tons of food and music and people. It was a great time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:15] Looking forward to any particular snacks or bites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:18] I don’t know what’s in there yet. The only problem I have is I end up wanting to eat something at every thing, and by the end of the first block, I’m stuffed. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:28] But it was really interesting to see Lurie, you know, just communicating with everyday voters and also just seeing the questions that they came up to him with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:18:36] How are you going to get rid of the homeless?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:38] We’re going to get them in the shelter. We’re going to get them bus tickets home and then we’re going to get those that are suffering on our streets. We’re going to get them into mental health and drug treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:18:47] And then last but not least, there is San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin, whose district includes Chinatown. And I imagine there’s a lot less introducing he probably has to do in the Chinese American community, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:02] Yes. He has been the supervisor for Chinatown and North Beach and really, you know, is well known in those communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:10] Hey, Kevin. Kevin Aaron Peskin here running for mayor. Yeah, I’ve been here before. Would love to have your support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:17] I walked around with him in the Richmond, so on the west side of the city and actually you could see some of that, you know, awareness translating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:26] I’m Aaron and I’m running for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Voter \u003c/strong>[00:19:28] Of course. I’ve met you before at Red’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:30] At Red’s! Oh, back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:33] There were people coming up to him who said, My friend lives in Chinatown and calls you the bearded one and. Yeah. And so some of that experience, it seems, has translated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:44] When I go walk. Clement Street, Irving Street Tariff, Noriega. And I know a lot of people because I wasn’t the supervisor who only showed up at election time. I’ve showed up like 52 weeks a year in Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:59] And Aaron is also talking about things like increasing some police salaries, basically how to keep police on the force. He’s also been really touting things like bringing in all Cantonese speaking force of officers to Chinatown. I will say also, you know, Aaron, being the most progressive candidate in this race, I think is really trying to define his approach by focusing on some of the external factors related to crime, related to safety, and talking to voters about what would also make them feel safe, in addition to, you know, making sure that the police department is fully staffed and having those systems running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:20:47] Well, I want to move on to the takeaways here, Sidney. Is there any one of these candidates who we know is rising to the top for Chinese American voters right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:20:56] I think it’s really hard to say. You know, San Francisco also has a ranked choice voting system, which makes this all even more potentially interesting. And but it one way to look at this could be just the different endorsements that some of these leading candidates have gotten. You know, Breed got the backing of the Chinatown Neighborhood Association, various merchants and the police union, which really speaks to her public safety push. Peskin has the Chinese Tenants Association backing him. It’s the largest tennis association in the city. And on top of that, he’s put forward a proposal to expand rent control across the city just recently. Farrell, meanwhile, has won over the Chinese American Democratic Club, which has leaned a little more right on some issues recently. And then Lurie has gotten backing from people like former police commander Paul Yap and Betty Louie, a Chinatown community advocate. So, you know, it seems like they’re all real, really still fighting to get different slices of this demographic ahead of the election. And, you know, we’re really just going to have to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:01] One thing I’m wondering is like, what do we make of the fact that there isn’t much differentiating these candidates on the issue of public safety? Like, is this really going to be the issue, public safety, that’s going to make or break one candidate’s chances with the Chinese American community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:22:21] You know, even though there’s plenty of polling saying that public safety is, you know, the number one issue in San Francisco right now, and for Chinese American voters, improved public safety, you can look really different to different people. You know, many just want to see a policing system that responds fast and is accountable. They want to feel safe in their communities. So I think that this is going to be an issue that drives people to the polls. But how different candidates are squaring away with what their public safety vision is will probably be where voters end up shaking out. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:59] Well, Sydney, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:23:01] Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:50] I’m Ericka Cruz Guevara and welcome to the bay. Local news to keep you rooted. If you want to win over San Francisco, you’re going to have to win over the Chinese American community, which makes up nearly 22% of the city’s population. And Chinese Americans have a long history of political organizing in the city. From the fight to desegregate schools to advocating for safe, affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:21] And so mayoral hopefuls really see this as an activated and significant voting bloc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:27] For this voting bloc, public safety is a top issue in this year’s mayoral race. Today, what candidates for mayor are doing to win over Chinese American voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:42] Chinese-Americans in this city have had a long history of political organizing and activity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:49] Sidney Johnson is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:53] Some of the larger neighborhoods where this community is concentrated include Chinatown, which historically has a lot more renters. There’s also on the west side in the Richmond the Sunset. It’s a little bit more suburban. You have some more homeowners and families also Viz Valley, you know, in the southeast corner of the city, a little more working class, a little bit more diverse. And, you know, these candidates are looking at all of those neighborhoods really closely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:25] And you mentioned Chinese American voters being very active for many years on many different issues. But what is rising to the top for a Chinese American voters this year?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:06:36] Over the years, polls have shown that issues that rise to the top for Chinese Americans in San Francisco are things like education and housing and affordability, you know, kind of just daily life issues. But in recent years, there was a real spike in attacks against Asian Americans here in San Francisco and across the country. And San Francisco in particular, really became a hub for stop AAPI hate activism. And that energy carried over and public safety kind of ballooned into this top issue for a lot of these voters in the 2022 election season. We saw that energy harnessed and Chinese Americans really showed up to the polls for the school board recall and the district attorney recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] And you went to actually talk to Chinese American voters. What is this the the range of things that you heard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:36] They said that things, you know, maybe feel a little bit better right now, but that’s compared to some of the worst days of the pandemic and they still don’t feel safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:45] Hopefully. Yeah. What’s troubling you?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:47] Yeah. Everything? Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] I met Diane Lee at the Sunset Night Market a couple of Fridays ago. She was walking around with a couple of her girlfriends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:07:57] Well, the homeless, right? Crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:00] She said she’s lived here almost her whole life, but she’s never felt less safe than she does now and is worried about her grandchildren growing up here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:08:09] I mean, they’re 12 years old. We want to make sure that they’re not they’re safe on the, you know, the buses that they live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:17] Diane pulled no punches. She said she’s a moderate Democrat, but that she’s just fed up. Even though rates around violent crime and retail theft are lower right now. But she said that there’s just this feeling of, you know, discomfort and disarray that she hasn’t been able to kick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:35] And I’m sorry, I didn’t ask her name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:37] I’m Fiona. Fiona, your Sydney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:39] Fiona Tan grew up around San Francisco. She is attending college and is home right now for summer and is working on Aaron Peskin’s campaign as a volunteer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:08:50] I think the big thing for me is like it seems like the public safety is a big issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:08:55] You know, she really wants to see community solutions for issues that have been going on around public safety since Covid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:04] You know, there’s been a lot of Asian hate, and I think that’s something that really needs to be addressed. You know, somebody pushed into the subway not too long ago this year and things like that were just, you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:15] At the end of the day, I think it’s really about how people feel when they’re doing their daily activities. Can I buy groceries for my family? Is my street clean and can my children walk home safe from school? And, you know, I really have heard from some folks things as extreme as, you know, trying to increase incarceration and increase that type of accountability. But also a lot of Chinese American voters who are like, we need to keep people housed and work on these root causes of some of these crimes, like poverty, and how do we improve that within our own communities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Fiona Tan \u003c/strong>[00:09:48] I think everything stems from that one issue of public safety. And I think if we can address that, we can address everything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:56] So what are the different ways that these mayoral candidates are trying to win over Chinese-American voters like Diane and Fiona?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:05] Yeah. You know, there there is a lot of overlap in terms of actual policies that they’re putting forward. You know, a lot of the candidates are saying we want a fully staffed the police department. Things like increasing foot patrols. But there is kind of a wide gulf between how the candidates are leaning into public safety as a topic. Some kind of further on the right are really leaning into that fear and that feeling of discomfort that has lingered from the pandemic. And then you have others that are kind of trying to talk about that. The city is already improving and we’re trying to make that better and bring people together. So how how candidates are actually talking about this can vary, but this political spectrum that we’re working with here is all moderate Democrats for the most part, you know, minus Peskin, who leans a little bit more progressive from that as well. Aside from just the, you know, conversations and rhetoric, candidates are also trying to show that they’re not just, you know, talking the talk. So they’re hiring chiefs of staff that are Chinese American. They’re hiring volunteers, different age brackets to speak with their communities and share messages on WeChat and get out there and speak in their native languages. And so that is really a big focus of these campaigns as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:11:36] Yeah. Let’s talk about how some of these candidates are trying to court Chinese-American voters, starting with Mayor London Breed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:46] Are we ready yet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:48] Well, Breed has been, you know, really out and about this whole election season, getting in front of voters and Chinese American voters in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:11:57] It is because of our Chinese community that we are on the map as a global city with one of the.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:04] I recently attended a event that she had in Chinatown at a restaurant where she was surrounded by merchants and community leaders who were announcing their support for her to be reelected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:18] And why so many of these incredible leaders are here to support me today is because they know that I have been very aggressive about ensuring San Francisco’s place on the global stage. The, you know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] Breed admitted to some of the real struggles at the city, and that community in particular were going through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:12:40] The rise in anti-Asian hate impacted this neighborhood more than any other neighborhood in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:47] But then she comes around that and says, but look at what we’ve done. And she talks about things like increasing surveillance tools for the police, which was something that she got passed on the March ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:13:00] And now, as crime is at its lowest, its lowest in over ten years, it’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] And so she was really trying to come out and say, hey, look, we are doing more to address safety. And look, we are supporting police here. And at the same time, you know, in all of that, trying to make these voters believe that the city is on a better track and that Breed is the one who’s steering that ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:27] Yeah, she sort of has the tough job of trying to convince people that she has been doing something about this, this feeling of an increase in crime rate because she is the incumbent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] Right. And it’s a hard line to walk because you also can’t deny, you know, and invalidate voters concerns and voters fears, but trying to convince them that you are doing more and that things are on a better track at the same time is is a really tricky line to walk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:59] Now, let’s talk about Mark Farrell. And can you actually even remind us who he is and how he’s sort of been trying to court Chinese American voters in the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:14:09] Yeah. Mark Farrell is a former supervisor and was actually an interim mayor in San Francisco. And he has been coming out with some of the most pro-police proposals of any of the candidates. He’s talked about ordering a state of emergency in his first 100 days and having the National Guard with boots on the ground in San Francisco. Like other candidates, too, he wants to fully fund the police department. He wants to increase police academy is throughout the year, wants to increase police salaries and expand city wide bans on things like illegal vending, increase law enforcement, foot patrols and presence around areas like U.N. Plaza and the Tenderloin. He’s also taken opportunities like the recent shooting of a 49ers player near Union Square to say Breed’s efforts to make the city safe are lagging. You know, Breed said that was a crass, opportunistic play and defended the city’s crime stats. But, you know, it’s really been sort of this attack on how San Francisco hasn’t done enough to make people feel safe. And that has really been Mark Farrell’s approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:16] It is together that we will win this election in November and we will bring San Francisco back and make sure that is the public safety that we all deserve here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:15:26] I went to an event recently in this valley with Mark Farrell, where he was surrounded by Chinese American elders, and he was announcing his endorsement from the Sheriffs Association. You know, he pretty quickly started talking about just how things like crime and he mentioned homelessness have gotten out of control in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:15:46] Right. When you talk to people and they see the local Walgreens and CBS stores getting looted every single day in front of their own eyes, that doesn’t make them feel safe in their neighborhoods. When you have specific communities like our AAPI community here in San Francisco have hate crimes just against them because of the color of their skin or who they look like. That to me is unacceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:07] And that there needs to be a change in city hall and someone who’s going to be tough on crime. I think really, you know, he’s been focusing on pointing out the real problems at the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mark Farrell \u003c/strong>[00:16:18] We have had failed leadership in city hall under Mayor Breed in terms of public safety. Not only our police department, not only our fire department. And as we’ve talked about today in our sheriff’s department, we need a mayor who’s going to prioritize it. Once again, I will do exactly that as mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:16:32] Sounds like he’s speaking very much to the people who don’t like how things might be working in San Francisco right now. Right. And Daniel Lurie, the the Levi Strauss heir sort of is also positioning himself as this outsider candidate. How have you seen him courting Chinese-American voters as probably the lesser known candidate in the race?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:16:57] You know, I think one thing that Daniel’s been doing to court any voter across the city is is actually leaning into that fact that he’s an outsider and saying, look, the people that I’m running against have been in city hall and they got us into this mess. And Lurie, as you know, he founded this nonprofit called The Tipping Point, which is a big anti poverty nonprofit. He’s saying, I can translate this experience and change some things in city hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:17:22] The store owners and the merchants on that street. Many AAPI store owners say to me every single time I’m out there, public safety is sort of their number one issue in Chinatown. Public safety’s their number one issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:37] In terms of public safety. There are still some overlaps with opponents on on all sides that he’s up against. You know, he also wants to declare a state of emergency, although he doesn’t plan to bring in the National Guard and have boots on the ground. So there’s some similarity and difference there with Farrell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:17:59] I recently followed Daniel Lurie around the sunset night market, which, you know, this is a really prominent Asian American community. There was just tons of food and music and people. It was a great time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:15] Looking forward to any particular snacks or bites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:18] I don’t know what’s in there yet. The only problem I have is I end up wanting to eat something at every thing, and by the end of the first block, I’m stuffed. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:18:28] But it was really interesting to see Lurie, you know, just communicating with everyday voters and also just seeing the questions that they came up to him with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Diane Lee \u003c/strong>[00:18:36] How are you going to get rid of the homeless?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:18:38] We’re going to get them in the shelter. We’re going to get them bus tickets home and then we’re going to get those that are suffering on our streets. We’re going to get them into mental health and drug treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:18:47] And then last but not least, there is San Francisco supervisor Aaron Peskin, whose district includes Chinatown. And I imagine there’s a lot less introducing he probably has to do in the Chinese American community, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:02] Yes. He has been the supervisor for Chinatown and North Beach and really, you know, is well known in those communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:10] Hey, Kevin. Kevin Aaron Peskin here running for mayor. Yeah, I’ve been here before. Would love to have your support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:17] I walked around with him in the Richmond, so on the west side of the city and actually you could see some of that, you know, awareness translating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:26] I’m Aaron and I’m running for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Voter \u003c/strong>[00:19:28] Of course. I’ve met you before at Red’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:30] At Red’s! Oh, back in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:33] There were people coming up to him who said, My friend lives in Chinatown and calls you the bearded one and. Yeah. And so some of that experience, it seems, has translated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Aaron Peskin \u003c/strong>[00:19:44] When I go walk. Clement Street, Irving Street Tariff, Noriega. And I know a lot of people because I wasn’t the supervisor who only showed up at election time. I’ve showed up like 52 weeks a year in Chinatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:19:59] And Aaron is also talking about things like increasing some police salaries, basically how to keep police on the force. He’s also been really touting things like bringing in all Cantonese speaking force of officers to Chinatown. I will say also, you know, Aaron, being the most progressive candidate in this race, I think is really trying to define his approach by focusing on some of the external factors related to crime, related to safety, and talking to voters about what would also make them feel safe, in addition to, you know, making sure that the police department is fully staffed and having those systems running.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:20:47] Well, I want to move on to the takeaways here, Sidney. Is there any one of these candidates who we know is rising to the top for Chinese American voters right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:20:56] I think it’s really hard to say. You know, San Francisco also has a ranked choice voting system, which makes this all even more potentially interesting. And but it one way to look at this could be just the different endorsements that some of these leading candidates have gotten. You know, Breed got the backing of the Chinatown Neighborhood Association, various merchants and the police union, which really speaks to her public safety push. Peskin has the Chinese Tenants Association backing him. It’s the largest tennis association in the city. And on top of that, he’s put forward a proposal to expand rent control across the city just recently. Farrell, meanwhile, has won over the Chinese American Democratic Club, which has leaned a little more right on some issues recently. And then Lurie has gotten backing from people like former police commander Paul Yap and Betty Louie, a Chinatown community advocate. So, you know, it seems like they’re all real, really still fighting to get different slices of this demographic ahead of the election. And, you know, we’re really just going to have to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:01] One thing I’m wondering is like, what do we make of the fact that there isn’t much differentiating these candidates on the issue of public safety? Like, is this really going to be the issue, public safety, that’s going to make or break one candidate’s chances with the Chinese American community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:22:21] You know, even though there’s plenty of polling saying that public safety is, you know, the number one issue in San Francisco right now, and for Chinese American voters, improved public safety, you can look really different to different people. You know, many just want to see a policing system that responds fast and is accountable. They want to feel safe in their communities. So I think that this is going to be an issue that drives people to the polls. But how different candidates are squaring away with what their public safety vision is will probably be where voters end up shaking out. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:22:59] Well, Sydney, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:23:01] Thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
