Several district races are also attracting big-money groups spending six-figure sums to fight progressives.
Over $5 million have been poured into the six supervisor races across the city, with Bilal Mahmood, Dean Preston, Jackie Fielder, and Marjan Philhour raising the most. Photo illustration by Kelly Waldron.Campaign donation numbers disclosed last week give the first detailed glimpse of money in the six San Francisco supervisor races on the November ballot. The totals are vast: $5,310,571, according to the new finance filings.
But it is the outside political action committees spending in the race that makes it the city’s most expensive: GrowSF, a political advocacy organization that is part of ahoping to steer the city in a police-friendly, pro-YIMBY, and generally laissez-faire direction, has jumped in to fund a drive against Preston.
Both have received public financing, and Philhour has maxed out; Chan is about $20,000 away from that maximum. Mahmood has reached the public financing limit, but Preston is likely to qualify for more and could quickly close the gap between them. He will face the outside “Dump Dean” spending by GrowSF, which is likely to badger him with attack ads and aid Mahmood.
