"But the SF Democratic County Central Committee is not endorsing for or against the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio. After being delayed a full month, the endorsement vote by the DCCC took place on Wednesday night. And as Mission Local reports, the vote was deadlocked, 11 for and 11 against endorsing the recall. Four committee members were absent and six abstained."
"A bloc of progressives on the committee, including former supervisors Jane Kim, John Avalos, and Gordon Mar, either abstained or were absent, and several moderates who might have cast votes in support of Engardio, including Supervisor Bilal Mahmood and Assemblymember Matt Haney, were absent. According to Mission Local, when the "no position" result was called, the crowd attending the meeting, who were mostly recall supporters, cheered."
The SF Democratic County Central Committee vote on endorsing the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio was deadlocked 11-11, with four members absent and six abstaining, producing no official position. Recall ballots have already been sent to District 4 voters and many appear firmly decided. A bloc of progressives abstained or were absent, and several moderates who might have supported Engardio were also absent. Meeting attendees, mostly recall supporters, cheered the "no position" result. The recall centers on Engardio's support for closing the Great Highway. Engardio's chances appear slim given District 4's small electorate and highly motivated pro-recall voters; rhetoric from the pro-recall side has included nativist and race-based elements.
