On Friday, September 24th - a very warm evening - I attended Latinos for Rafael Mandelman for District 8 Supervisor Fundraiser held at Sunrise Cafe on 24th Street.
The event was co-sponsored by Supervisor John Avalos, Supervisor David Campos and the Grassroots Democratic Club with President Eric Quezada.
Rafael Mandelman asked for people's support in District 8 pledging to stand up for their rights in San Francisco.
Supervisor John Avalos said "Rafael has been there". He has leadership we need to have on the Board of Supervisors".
Supervisor David Campos said "This election is critical for the future of the Board of Supervisors. This election matters. There is a clear choice - Rafael Mandelman"
