At an Aaron Peskin campaign fundraiser, Hillary Ronen argues for an end to 'sexy press release' governance in favor of keeping it boring.

The Q&A portion of the evening begins. Someone asks how, if donations from individuals to mayoral candidates are capped at $500, “Problems get fixed when you put two people that have power in a room and make them coordinate with each other around our arcane laws and the budget,” says Ronen, gesturing emphatically. “The work behind the scenes — which ison the same side. We want to put a little porch on our house that doesn’t cost a million dollars and take 200 years. We want to fill a pothole that doesn’t cost a million dollars and takes 20 workers.“Bo-ring!” someone in the crowd starts to chant.
Outside the cafe, Ronen alternates between intense political discussion, and intense communion with the child of Santiago Lerma, one of her former legislative aides. “My favorite baby!” she says to the toddler, who is navigating the step between the cafe and the sidewalk with the air of someone embarking on a thrilling adventure.
