  3. These were top of the ticket candidates.

    The new screening chair gave them the grace to be considered despite their lack of engagement. The body voted to endorse them, but this was a wakeup call.

  4. We are done.

    We considered one hundred candidates. In most cases, the body accepted the recommendations of the screeners.

    The takeaway is that candidates who don't engage with us cannot expect to earn our endorsement.

    Some candidates who earned our endorsement in the primary failed to respond when asked whether they wanted to re-screen or be considered with the questionnaire and scores from the primary. They had three chances and didn't respond.

  5. #Candidates with big war chests are finding that #adbuys don’t guarantee victory. The people who are winning right now are organizing #movements, not just raising cash.”

  6. Good morning / afternoon / evening!

    I am at the #Endorsement #meeting for our local #lgbtq+ #caucus.

    Right now, a mile-long line of #candidates are getting 30 seconds to speak. We started at the top of the hour.

    I served on the #screening #committee. The committee screened over 100 candidates.

    When the proceedings open, the first motion will be to close credentialing. The second will be to accept the #recommendations of our committee.

    "Key allies abandon owner of Manny's in SF after sexual assault accusation

    A prominent San Francisco activist and Mission District cafe owner is facing sexual assault allegations that have quickly eroded support for his campaign for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

    Manny Yekutiel, who owns the popular cafe and events venue named after himself on 16th Street in San Francisco, is accused of aggressively groping a local activist during a party at a home in 2020, the San Francisco Standard first reported. Brad Joseph Chapin, a nonprofit worker and former Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club board member, came forward with the allegations against Yekutiel and filed a police report in April.

    In an interview with SFGATE, Chapin said he was at a party at a home in February 2020 when Yekutiel allegedly assaulted him. He also detailed the allegations in the police report filed in April and viewed by SFGATE on Monday.

    Chapin told SFGATE that when he first saw Yekutiel sitting alone at the party, he didn’t immediately recognize him because Yekutiel looked like he 'hadn’t slept in several days.' Chapin said Yekutiel then approached him and allegedly stuck his hand down Chapin’s pants, 'forcibly' grabbing Chapin’s genitalia, causing intense pain and squeezing harder as Chapin tried to escape.

    'Every time I tried to get away, he yanked and pulled and it was horrible,' Chapin told SFGATE. He said he only knew Yekutiel through mutual friends and was startled and frightened by the alleged assault, which he described as 'violent.'

    In a Monday Instagram video statement, Yekutiel denied the allegations, saying he was accused of 'pretty terrible things.'

    (. . .)

    'What is being described did not happen. When he reached out to me, I told him directly that it didn’t happen. He filed a police report, the police investigated and took no further action,' Yekutiel’s statement read. 'They said they didn’t even need to interview me. His account has changed more than once since. And now, after more than six years, he’s raising it publicly for the first time, just as I’ve entered this race. There’s nothing here. I did not do this.'"
