An internet privacy measure appears headed to the November ballot (00:45) and Republican endorsements coalesce around businessman John Cox in the California governors race (2:55). Then, former State Senator and San Francisco mayoral candidate Mark Leno joins Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos to talk about his time in rabbinical school (8:30), the strangest sign he was asked to make at his store (12:55),  losing his partner to AIDS and the city’s response to the crisis (14:37), pursuing same-sex marriage in the state legislature (17:52), his run for mayor (23:40) and whether he can win as a change candidate (25:55).
