The San Francisco Ethics Commission has fined the 'Labor and Working Families Slate' $2,513 for violating campaign contribution limits during the March 2024 election. This group, which aimed to maintain progressive dominance in the local Democratic Party, faced defeat against the tech-supported 'Democrats for Change,' who secured 18 of 24 seats. The commission found that contributions exceeding the city's $500 limit were made to Dean Preston's campaign, in addition to assessing penalties for attacking his opponent, Bilal Mahmood, through a costly flyer. This decision underscores the importance of adherence to campaign finance laws.
The simultaneous dissemination of a flyer supporting Preston, who is a Supervisor candidate only, and a flyer opposing Mahmood, created a presumption that these actions were in violation of monetary limits.
