ANGELA ALIOTO --whose last name is considered political royalty in the City by the Bay--is strongly considering a run for the 2019 Mayoral Election, 415 Media has learned.I asked Alioto directly the other day about it and she neither confirmed it nor denied.
"I keep all my options open," she told me.
Translation: Alioto is running. Because she thinks she can win and she surely would be the front-runner amongst these contenders.
Alioto ran back in 2003 but she was considered far too liberal even in a city known for its progressive history, and was far off the pace.Her politics have become far more centrist and her list of advisers and friends are the centerpiece of San Francisco political and social establishment. Plus, she has lots of money and that never hurts.
Oh, and her father was the BEST mayor ever. Advantage: Alioto, 2019.

ReplyDeleteYou will have far better results running a homeless monkey on a bike in the mayors race.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, silly. I'm sure you voted for Trump, that's why the asinine post.
DeleteWhy are you so "sure he/she voted for Trump"? If you are basing that on the simple fact that she is a woman and so was Trump's opponent, I'd say that's being sexist. Shame on you!
DeleteWe need a good Italian running this city again. I'd vote for her.
ReplyDeleteI would encourage Angela to run. She, Mark Leno and Dennis Herrera would make up my top-tier list of candidates.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No pro-Willie, pro-Newsom rebuttals to Rich's pro-Joe? :D
ReplyDeleteThe truth sucks for those two losers...
DeleteAngela has Politics Fever, and has for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI wish her well, so long as she comes out against the Sanctuary City nonsense. I do notice she seems to be the only Alioto in the last two generations who wants to pursue public service.
It takes a certain type of person to volunteer for such a high pressured career, one where you can never please everybody.
I like her strength, and her sense of humor. Although I'm more a Tea Party person, I sense a Joie de Vivre in her presence. Angela has some sort of charm about her. Yes she does. If she can keep the righteous anger in check, she may 'break on thru to the other side.'
