Costa a Costa: Lotso Latinos on the SF Local Ballot

15:07 H | Topics: California - Politics - San Francisco

Looking over my ballot book this morning, I found a lot of Latino names for the various local political seats here in San Francisco:

Gerardo Sandoval (Assessor)

Jose Cisneros (Treasurer)

Manuel Valle (Treasurer)

Dennis Herrera (City Attorney, first Latino to hold office in San Francisco)

I've said before (as has my colleague la Mala) that I won't vote for a Latino just because he's Latino, or any other "minority" for that matter. I was happy to see, however, that the majority of the people on this list seem to stand for same things that I do, so yeah, in a way, I am voting Latino. But it's just a fluke.

Are there Latinos running for office where you live? Use our contact form or the comment area to tell us about it.
