District 8 - Scott Wiener's Headquarters Opening







Very early Saturday morning I attended the Headquarters Grand Opening for Scott Wiener, candidate for Supervisor in District 8.

Scott's headquarters is at 538 Castro Street, San Francisco.  Special guest speakers were State Senator Mark Leno and Supervisor Sean Elsbernd.

This is a very special headquarters, a good location with campaign colors of orange and black. (orange everywhere!)

Supervisor Elsbernd got up on a chair to speak so he could be taller than Scott.  "Scott has integrity and is a man of his district".

State Senator Mark Leno said that Scott was an old friend.  "Scott is independent, thoughtful and accomplished"

Scott Wiener has been endorsed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Congressmember Jackie Speier.
