Two SF groups promise big spending to keep moderates in the majority [View all]

Two independent San Francisco advocacy organizations are separately planning to spend millions of dollars on city elections this year, largely to preserve the politically moderate majority that voters installed in 2024 on the Board of Supervisors.

Jay Cheng, the executive director of Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, said his group expects to spend $5 million to $7 million through November between races for supervisor and local ballot measures, including to oppose a union-backed proposal to raise The City’s Overpaid Executive Tax.

“There’s a lot at stake in this election, especially around keeping San Francisco’s recovery going, and a big part of that is keeping the moderate majority on the Board of Supervisors, keeping a moderate majority on the school board,” he said.

Neighbors for a Better San Francisco has been one of San Francisco’s most powerful and well-funded political organizations on the more-conservative end of San Francisco’s political spectrum since its founding six years ago. It focuses on issues that include public safety, homelessness, public education and fiscal responsibility.
