Roll Call: What is your most interesting LOCAL race?

[RandySF]

We have a hotly contested Dem vs Dem State Senate race covering San Francisco and bits of Marin and San Mateo Counties. Scott Winer and Jane Kim are both second term members of the Board of Supervisors and are proxies between the Progressive and Moderate wings of the city (moderate being a relative term here). One candidate was endorse by Bernie Sanders and the other was supposedly blessed by Hillary (but I don't think they've even met).

Hard choice to make because I personally do not like either candidate, so I made a deal with myself. They would pretty vote the same in the Senate so I decided to send Wiener to Sacramento and keep Kim on the Board as a check on our terrible mayor, Ed Lee.

1. Teachout-Faso in NY-19

Zephyr Teachout primaried Cuomo and is a rising progressive, Friend-of-Bernie, get money-out-of-politics star here. Looks like she has a little lead over Lobbyist Extraordinaire John Faso. This would be a flip if she wins. It's a district that Chris Gibson (retired) held after he beat moderate Dem Scott Murphy in 2010.

2. P1 in Albany CA

Whether or not to level a parcel tax to fix the sidewalks. It's more controversial than one might think.

5. If local means "in state"...

Nothing exciting going on except ballot questions. I'm in Mass.

I'm 5 miles south of the NH border, far closer to Nashua than Boston and there are two exciting "local" races: Maggie Hassan and Carol Shea Porter. I cannot vote for either one of them, but I've been sending donations.
