"Until now, the record for most spending per vote was held by Mayor Daniel Lurie, who paid $156.14 for each of his first-choice votes in the 2024 mayoral race. But there’s a big difference: Lurie won."
(He had much worse opposition! It was a terrible field.)

$211 per vote: How Saikat Chakrabarti spent $8.8M on his congressional run

This is the kind of unity we need to see among left-of-center candidates—everyone not on the billionaires' team. Like Saikat, I'll support Connie in the general election. I won't hide my disagreements with her, but fortunately most of them are much less relevant to federal office.

If you live in San Francisco,
there’s a good chance that somebody knocked on your door today from the Saikat Chakrabarti campaign.
An early employee at Stripe, the payments processing company,
Chakrabarti spent $8.8 million of his own money trying to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress.
Several hundred people fanned out around the city to knock on voters’ doors canvassing for him.
His campaign says they cumulatively visited 5,000 homes per hour.

The nonpartisan primaries will determine which candidates make the fall ballot, though quick results are unlikely.

Wondering why the left is split in SF’s Congressional race to replace Nancy Pelosi? This is by far the best overview I’ve seen: https://jacobin.com/2026/06/sf-congress-election-chan-chakrabarti

In San Francisco, a Divided Left Eyes Nancy Pelosi’s Seat
Two progressives — Justice Democrats cofounder Saikat Chakrabarti and union-backed city hall veteran Connie Chan — are fighting to advance past the primary for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat. Their race has become a referendum on the SF left’s future.

Not April Fool: okay, I think that clinches my vote for Chakrabarti over Chan unless there are major surprises. You can't be mealy-mouthed on enabling a genocidal regime. (Of course, Wiener is much worse on this issue, and I will vote for Chan in the general if it's those two who advance.)
