Where’s the focus?
Here we have the problem with running for the DCCC and running for elected office at the same time, it all gets too muddy. DCCC is the body that endorses candidates. I imagine if Mahmood is elected to one it’s to support his position in the other.

Anyone but Dean.

I don’t care about this.

I do care about the fact that he’s a mealy-mouthed coward who wouldn’t take a position on Prop E when Mission Local asked him. Prop E is the most significant and controversial item on the ballot. If Mahmood can’t tell us how he stands on that, how can we trust him on any other issue?

In reply to Greeny.

Did he behave this way in the Obama times? I doubt it. Surely an “Obama staffer” would know better🤔

And there is a third request to Ethics to investigate a “ride along” incident with SFFD and first responders. Mahmood signed a binding agreement stating that understood he was only permitted to ride if he agreed not to post comments or photos on social media of the event. There are strict campaign laws that bar current city employees (like SFFD and SFPD) from posing or being photographed with political candidates. Point being: uniformed officers are prohibited from giving the appearance that they or their departments endorse a particular candidate. Mahmood signed the release saying he understood and would not make posts, but then went on to post pics of himself posing with uniformed firefighters. Mahmood frequently refers to his intern work in the Obama admin; I’ll bet he adhered to strict protocols there. So why flout the rules when running for elected office?

I guess when you have no ideas and stand for nothing (see Mahmood’s recent non-answer to Mission Local about Prop E), big money is the only way to go.
