At S.F. congressional debate, candidates go on the attack
""In D.C., I've met tons of career politicians and state legislators and saw why they get nothing done. They go there, they say yes to whatever leadership wants them to do, they sell their votes to the highest bidder and that's why nothing changes.""
""That's going to ruffle some feathers. If you want someone who's going to get along to go along, then I'm not your guy.""
""Why is it that when you have a chance to actually have progressive taxation you chose to actually vote for a regional sales tax?""
Three candidates vying to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress presented distinct approaches during a debate. State Sen. Scott Wiener focused on his legislative achievements, citing bills on mental health and immigration rights. Saikat Chakrabarti criticized Wiener's establishment ties, claiming they hinder progress and promising to form a coalition that resists party leadership. Supervisor Connie Chan highlighted her immigrant background and questioned Wiener's tax decisions, advocating for progressive taxation over sales taxes. The debate showcased contrasting visions for the future of San Francisco's representation.
