Guest Editorial: Sarah Low Daly Speaks For Me -- and District 6Ken Werner, Trinity Plaza Tenants Association (TPTA)byline‚ Nov. 13‚ 2006Last Tuesday night, supporters of Supervisor Chris Daly celebrated a sweet victory at local hot spot DNA Lounge at 375 11th Street. On the final day of campaigning, approximately 500 volunteers swarmed over District 6 to reach voters to support the reelection of the Defender of the Disenfranchised. The last phone calls to voters were made at 7:58 p.m. to remind them to vote, and volunteers slowly filtered back to campaign headquarters in the heart of the Mission after 8:00 p.m. By the time I reached DNA, there were already around 100 volunteers and the incumbent’s family partying after a bitter and tiring campaign. We gained sustenance from pizza, lumpia, and egg rolls and quenched our thirst from an open bar. A week later, the election over with Chris Daly’s resounding defeat of would-be pretender for District 6 Rob Black with 50.221% of the vote , the negative spin continues. |
