San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin made his visit to the registrar's office Friday, signing paperwork to run for mayor. One of the longest-serving politicians in city history now becomes the sole progressive candidate running against Mayor London Breed , and several moderate challengers. But Peskin doesn't see the race that way.'I don't think that this is about progressives or moderates,' Peskin said after signing his paperwork.
'And the reason I am launching this campaign in Portsmouth Square is because of my deep and abiding connections with the Chinese community of San Francisco,' Peskin said Friday. Chinatown is more than just a neighborhood in this respect. It's the core of the city's Asian voting population, which makes for a third of the vote in San Francisco. Other candidates have already made major announcements in the neighborhood.
