Join your neighbors for a series of Q&A forums to get to know the candidates and share what’s top of mind for Dogpatch & Potrero Hill residents. All forums begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Dogpatch Hub, 1278 Minnesota Street @ 24th Doors open at 6, refreshments served, no candidate endorsements associated with these events (but Potrero Hill Democratic Club will endorse, see below). Organized by neighbors Jen Betti, Kopal Maheshwari, Matt Nessier & Joan Meyer.

PHDC has created a questionnaire which we asked each of the 5 candidates to complete; you can find a link to the questionnaires we received here. Due to circumstances beyond our control, PHDC will not host a mayoral candidate debate this year, but club members will vote to endorse in this race. So we want our members to be as informed as possible.

Many of us in Potrero Hill Democratic Club have appreciated its longtime, vibrant progressive voice in east-side San Francisco politics, and would like to see it come back strong. Please join us as we breathe new life into our club. The City needs us! We’ll be gearing up for the crucial November election – and speaking up for true San Francisco values.

Come to an opinion-gathering, organizing meeting and let us know what you would like to see.

Let’s really bring it back this time.
