Everybody Hates Chris: The District 6 Election

We've been dying to debut the new name for this column for weeks now -- weeks! Everyone does hate Chris Daly! Of COURSE SFist will be covering the District 6 race!

This week -- Everyone hates the Marina. The Daly-friendly Beyond Chron reports that Small Business Commissioner and columnist for the Daly-unfriendly SF Sentinel Jordanna Thigpen (pictured at right) is sending out feelers about possibly running against Old Daddy Thumbkin, claiming that he's not very environmental and too confrontational. C'mon, what about the time Daly snuck Sierra Clubber Adam Werbach onto the PUC? That was totally environmental! Well, okay, it was also confrontational. We'll call that one a draw.

Thigpen is an attorney, runs Mask Italia on Chestnut Street, and is active in the Marina Merchants Association. She's come out against Ammiano's San Francisco universal health care plan (favoring a federal solution), and helped save a movie theater in the Marina by working with Walgreens. Also, she placed 982th in the 2004 Run to the Far Side. (There is too much information available about people on Google.)

District 6ers, Thigpen'll be on SF/Unscripted (the show that formerly hosted beloved SFist Jackson) this week, if you're looking for your "anybody" in the "anybody but Daly" category.
