Elect Anthony Becker as mayor and reelect incumbents Raj Chahal in District 2 and Karen Hardy in District 3.
for a complete list of our election recommendations.When we encouraged voters to approve Measure J in 2010 to bring the 49ers to Santa Clara, we argued that the city had a “highly respected city staff” that could deal with the stadium.
We abhor the hundreds of thousands of dollars the 49ers are spending supporting Becker, Chahal and Hardy. It casts a cloud on council members’ decisions. But the evidence that they are in the team’s pocket is far from conclusive. Before that decision, non-NFL events had generated $8.6 million for the city in the stadium’s first three years of operation. And after the new council majority reversed Gillmor’s policy and allowed five weeknight concerts a year, the 49ers booked big-name events this year that will generate an expected $2 million for the city.
