It was, however, heavily financed by Moritz."

Mayor Daniel Lurie and Board President Rafael Mandelman assembled a 28-person working group to reform San Francisco’s 548-page city charter. The group includes six City Hall officials, six business and development representatives, four from political pressure groups, four from philanthropy including a foundation tied to Michael Moritz, two urban think tank members, five from universities and community nonprofits, and only one organized labor representative. TogetherSF personnel are absent despite prior heavy spending to reshape the charter. Newly elected supervisors Bilal Mahmood and Chyanne Chen serve on the task force, and Alicia John-Baptiste represents the mayor.
