Okay so, let's talk about what's happening behind the scenes, because it's hella spicy.
### Connie Chan Gets a Big Endorsement
You know how Saikat Chakrabarti and Connie Chan were like, major rivals? Well, according to a press release from Saturday, June 13th, Chakrabarti just directed his campaign staff to back Chan. This is a big deal for District 1, which, if you're not from the Outer Richmond, is like, the entire western side of the City up near Ocean Beach and Lincoln Park. This used to be an old-school Chinese-American political machine territory, then it was a battleground for progressives and moderates, and now it's... this.
* Saikat Chakrabarti, formerly a big player in national politics. * Connie Chan, the current supervisor for District 1. * Endorsement happened on Saturday, June 13, 2026. * This is a pretty surprising twist given their past.
It shows you how much things can shift in local politics. People you thought were forever at odds are suddenly on the same team. We're going to see if this alliance actually moves the needle in District 1, which is always a tight race. It's hella hard to predict what the voters on Clement Street are going to do next.
That's the City, fam — fog, hills, and all.
