That followed one of the city’s largest corruption scandals, an FBI investigation targeting bribery and fraud at City Hall that has led to multiple convictions of former city officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other candidates are on the defensive about their records, too. Farrell has come under increased scrutiny for ties to a ballot initiative, Proposition D, that has raised millions of dollars largely from Silicon Valley billionaires and conservative donors. His opponents allege that he is misusing campaign funds directed at the ballot measure and blurring the lines between it and his own mayoral campaign, including by appearing prominently in ads for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a supervisor, Farrell was hit with the city’s largest campaign finance violation fine of $191,000, stemming from his 2010 run for supervisor when his then-opponent Janet Reilly alleged that Farrell’s campaign illegally coordinated with an independent expenditure committee. Farrell later settled for $25,000 and the Fair Political Practices Commission exonerated him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin has also had to clear up past flops while on the campaign trail, like apologizing to the firefighters union at their recent debate for berating the first responders for their handling of a blaze in his district in 2018. Fire Department members alleged that Peskin was intoxicated during the incident, which Peskin denied. After additional complaints about his behavior, the Board of Supervisors president started treatment in 2021 and has been sober from alcohol for three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know we have real challenges, but I want to make things better, and that’s the experience that I’m living now,” Peskin recently told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who’s leading the race?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>With about six weeks remaining until election day, no clear frontrunner has emerged. Political consultant Jim Ross describes the race as “still a toss-up” but suggests that this could change as November gets closer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even if voters are saying, ‘I’m supporting Breed or Farrell or Peskin,’ I think they are still open to change or looking for a candidate who will grab hold of their imagination,” Ross said. “At this point, most of the campaigns have been waiting for the election to get closer to make their strongest arguments and spend most of their money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996247\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayoral candidates face off at a San Francisco Fire Fighters union debate on Thursday, July 8.

D, which reduces citizen participation,” supervisor and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin told Proposition E supporters rallying outside City Hall on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition E, sponsored by Peskin, would create a task force to evaluate the city’s charter and its nearly 130 commissions and set recommendations for improvements and cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s directly competing with Proposition D, sponsored by the billionaire-backed moderate group TogetherSF. That plan would also create a task force to evaluate commission reform to modify the city charter. However, it would go further by promising to eliminate nearly half the city’s current commissions and advisory boards, which could range from the Arts Commission to the Library Commission or the Homeless Oversight Commission. It also sets a new cap of 65 citizen oversight bodies and gives the mayor more appointment power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This would just blow up so much, it would be hard to even start to figure out how you could start to fix things,” said Ed Harrington, a former controller for San Francisco and general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, who is opposing Proposition D.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition D say their approach would allow the city to make changes more quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco’s government structure fundamentally needs reform,” said Kanishka Cheng, the founder of TogetherSF. “It’s grown so big, it’s cumbersome and burdensome for anyone to deal with.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed recently yanked her support for Proposition D, which has faced scrutiny for its ties to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. But she’s not backing Proposition E either. Instead, Breed is directing the city controller and city administrator to develop and pass a charter reform measure for the 2026 ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12004619\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2048px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12004619\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/5F7E40E6-40D6-4027-811E-C978DE325AF0_1_102_o-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supporters for Proposition E rally in front of City Hall in San Francisco on Sept. 11, 2024 \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“The current charter, with its layers of bureaucracy added over the years, has created inefficiency and diffused accountability across our governance structures,” Breed said in a statement. “The good news is that we can fix this by stepping back and reconsidering the Charter as a whole.

You can’t just talk about the stereotypical Asian vote,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many Chinese American voters, Supervisor Chan said, improving public safety isn’t about simply increasing police budgets or policies around harsher prosecutions.
