Mayor Sheng Thao, once buoyed by the backing of labor unions, finds herself in a precarious position with significantly diminished support facing a recall election.
In 2022, Thao's election was propelled by $700,000 in outside spending from labor unions, but this time, support has dwindled to $53,500 against a strong recall effort.
The political atmosphere around Thao’s recall has become fraught, deterring political candidates and labor leaders from publicly voicing their support for her.
With the pro-recall committee raising $480,000 led by hedge fund support, Thao's current campaign resources are inadequate compared to previous elections.
