This week’s newsletter is LIVE!! We can invest in a system that serves everyone, or we can allow private interests to reshape our streets around profit, not people. Technology should support our transit system, not undermine it. Read more at garymccoysf.com/blog

This campaign isn’t about me. It’s about us and our recovery. San Francisco gave me a second chance. I’ve spent my life in public service to give that same opportunity to others. I’m ready to fight for every neighbor in District 8. Contribute at garymccoysf.com and join us. #GaryMcCoyForD8

Today Speaker Emerita Pelosi hosted a special Politics & Eggs breakfast with our dedicated volunteers and special guest Rep. Jamie Raskin. It was an honor meeting one of the most brilliant minds in Constitutional law. 🇺🇸

As a long-time Castro resident and neighbor I’ve patronized our small businesses over the past 15 years, and both Castro Coffee and Castro Nail Salon are anchors in our community.

Shout out to Hans How and team for raising critical funds tonight at QBar in the Castro for LGBT Asylum Project, Parivar Bay Area, and others. You can still make it for food, entertainment, and fun, until 9pm!

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: “I don’t work for you, sir. I work for the American people.”

A very Happy Birthday today to the boss (in so many ways), Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi! 👠🥳🎂

Today I woke up with 14 full years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, and I *almost* forgot! Time flies when life happens with a clear head. Grateful for so many people, experiences, and the program of AA/CMA, that made this possible, thank you all! 🥰

I’m just glad Merrick Garland can sleep well knowing he followed norms and traditions!

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Bernie woke up, went on X, and chose violence.

Remember when being a woman was a pre-existing medical condition? Insurance companies could actually deny coverage for pregnancies. MAGA Republicans have promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act and leave every person in the US with a pre existing condition vulnerable again. We will stop them!

Spent yesterday touring a number of HealthRIGHT 360 programs and SoMa with a wonderful delegation from Zurich as part of their 20yr partnership with SF - leadership from their police department, department of health, supervised consumption site program, & harm reduction & illegal substances. 💪🏼

hey sorry I missed your text, I am processing a non-stop 24/7 onslaught of information with a brain designed to eat berries in a cave

Spending time with my grandmother and somehow we started talking about Prohibition. “All the rich doctors and judges thought they were better than everyone else because they could afford ‘the recipe’ - but my dad was the only one that had ‘the recipe’ and they were all buying it from us. 😂

“What it [the city] did not do is tell anyone about any of this ahead of time. It did not reach out to skaters, it did not announce its intention to close down Dolores Street, it did not plaster posters in the area — or post on Instagram — warning people to stay away.”

How most of our weekend went… how could anyone not love San Francisco? 🥰

Please support striking workers in the way they’ve asked for. Instead of a viewer boycott, which they haven’t asked for, can you commit to donating to the strike fund, which they have? Maybe an amount equal to what you pay for streaming each month, for even one of the streamers, if not all?

Sorry for screaming at the top of my lungs, but WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY JUST GOT EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS!!!!

I think this is meant to make Biden look bad, but this sounds awesome https://www.axios.com/2023/07/10/biden-temper-us-president

“We’re not going to mince words here: It’s incredibly shameful, chauvinistic, and outright abominable how SF police handled minors participating in what’s largely considered an accepted July happening.”

Hey Larry, quick question

Is there really any other way? 🤣

Throwback to a June 2016 interview with PBS on, “The housing shortage and homelessness in San Francisco. Is there a solution?” Sadly, I could give this same exact interview today - over 7 years later. 🏡

The “why do more people keep dying if we keep trying more harm reduction” people are exhausting in their closedminded ignorance. A)We barely allow any harm reduction. B)Things keep getting worse for every other reason; harm reduction is proven to benefit everyone, not even just people who use drugs!
