Board of Equalization, District 2
The more serious Democratic candidate with a real campaign, though the office should arguably be abolished.
As I wrote in 2018, the Board of Equalization ostensibly doesn’t do much and I’d prefer if it were abolished, but the election can be important to the extent that members move on to other political office. Indeed, the candidate I endorsed then, Malia Cohen, won her seat and is now running for Controller.
The two Democrats running are former San Francisco Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier and former Assemblymember Sally Lieber. While they seem similarly qualified on paper, Lieber doesn’t seem to be running a serious campaign; her website doesn’t even list her endorsements (given the absence of policy impact the role involves, this is the main signal).
