The race for San Francisco 's Supervisorial District 7 has four contenders, including incumbent Myrna Melgar, who will take on business owner Matt Boschetto, San Francisco firefighter Stephen Martin-Pinto and thoracic surgeon Edward Yee. District 7 stretches south from the southeast portion of Golden Gate Park to include the Inner Sunset and Forest Hill neighborhoods, down to Lake Merced and a portion of the Upper Great Highway.
Boschetto lists his legislative priorities as trying to accelerate the recruitment of police officers through bonuses and housing and school vouchers, and rezoning commercial corridors to allow higher buildings and more density. Melgar has been endorsed by San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins. Melgar is close behind Boschetto in fundraising, having raised about $326,000 as of Thursday, including about $200,000 in public financing.
