With Supe Wong absent, District 4 candidates blast 'big money' and mayor's influence
""The incumbent in this race has quite a bit of money behind him. I haven't seen this kind of money in a District 4 supervisor's race, ever.""
""It disgusts me when I see that developers are writing those big checks. It corrupts our system and it truly takes away our everyday voice.""
""All of us up here, we are not supported by big money... I encourage all of you to help us out on our campaigns.""
""Candidates criticized many of the mayor's policies, including his upzoning plan, cutting taxes for real estate transfers and the charter reform measure to raise the signature threshold for voter initiatives.""
Candidates in the Sunset District race expressed concern over the significant financial backing for incumbent Alan Wong from independent expenditure committees and real estate donors. Tim Redmond noted unprecedented funding in the District 4 supervisor's race. Albert Chow criticized the corrupting influence of developer donations, while Natalie Gee emphasized her campaign's lack of big money support. The forum, attended by 60 residents, also featured criticism of the mayor's policies, including his upzoning plan and tax cuts for real estate transfers. Wong was absent due to personal reasons.
