San Francisco Progressives Drive the Agenda Monday, August 6, 2007 : After Matt Gonzalez announced that he would not run for mayor, Newsom campaign chief Eric Jaye concluded that progressives were in “total collapse.” Notwithstanding Jaye’s psychological need to maintain such a belief, such a claim reflects a profound disconnection from political reality. An evaluation of what has occurred in the city since Newsom’s election shows that in most areas---homelessness, health care, the environment, workers rights, the city budget, police p...

Gonzalez: Don’t Cry For Me, San Francisco Tuesday, July 31, 2007 : I predicted in January that the only progressive who could challenge Gavin Newsom this year was Matt Gonzalez.

That's why I am running for mayor and why you should consider donating to my campaign. Democracy depends on discourse and demands elected officials represent the people t...
