Some took to Twitter to express dismay — or outright confusion — that Dorsey would even accept the lefty Peskin’s endorsement.
Supervisor Aaron Peskin is drawing the ire of fellow progressives by endorsing his moderate colleague Matt Dorsey for election this November instead of prominent progressive Honey Mahogany in the race for District 6 supervisor.
Dorsey and Mahogany — the two most prominent candidates in a field of four — have made public safety a top issue to such an extent that observers have commented it's difficult to tell the two apart. Those political differences are not insubstantial. Peskin and Dorsey have taken different sides, for example, on the dueling November ballot measures that aim to facilitate affordable housing construction.
Peskin goes way back with Dorsey, a longtime City Hall insider who worked as a senior adviser to former City Attorney Dennis Herrera for more than a decade before shifting to the San Francisco Police Department’s top spokesman.“The City Family that has run City Hall for decades tends to stick together. It runs across political labels, and it clearly isn't working for our city's residents. Time for a change,” Haney tweeted on Tuesday.
In response, Mahogany touted her career as a social worker and small business owner in San Francisco and noted she's only been in politics for the last four years in The City.
