Chan pulls ahead and D11 race gets closer in latest election results

Billionaire-backed candidates could be failing in two key districts.

-

Connie Chan has pulled ahead in D1, the latest results show, suggesting that she will fend off a challenge from Marjan Philhour, the billionaire-backed candidate.

Chan was behind in the early returns Tuesday night, but was in an actual tie yesterday, with each candidate at 11,001 votes. Chan is now leading by 262 votes.

Sup. Connie Chan is now leading in the D1 race

If those trends continue, she will hold onto her seat.

The news is not at good for Sup. Dean Preston, who after two years of withering attacks by Big Tech and Big Real Estate and a gerrymandered district designed to unseat him is 1,287 votes behind billionaire candidate Bilal Mahmood.

It’s scary to think that a progressive supervisor could be ousted by this massive big-money operation and misleading media. And it makes us wonder who the Elon Musks and Garry Tans of the world will attack next—and whether the mainstream news media will try to expose them.

In D11, Chyanne Chen is closing the gap and is only 136 votes behind the billioniare candidate, Michael Lai.

So we will have a more centrist Board of Supes, but the attempted billionaire takeover of San Francisco has not been entirely successful. At least, that’s what the latest results show.
