Joe Joe Alioto Alioto District District 3 3

Ah, the Aliotos -- they run this town! Patriarch Joseph Alioto was the mayor of San Francisco from 1968-1976, in office not only during the building of the Transamerica Pyramid but also through the Zodiac murders -- while daughter Angela Alioto is a former Board of Supervisors president (and chicken-suit renter), while granddaughter Michela Alioto-Pier is a current Board of Supes member (and Hottest Supervisor emerita -- hm, maybe it's time for us to do another Hottest Supervisor poll!), and the rest of them are all lawyers.

Well, there's now two more vying for elective office -- and hey, check this out. According to Fog City Journal, Joe Alioto is running in District 3, and Joe Alioto is running in District 3. Whaaa? It's like a Doublemint ad!

No, seriously: so Angela Alioto's son and current Police Commissioner Joe Alioto-Veronese (at whose wedding you may remember Gavin met the second of his four bad choices of the heart, Sofia Milos) is running for the State Senate District 3 seat that Carole Migden and Mark Leno are currently pushing and shoving each other for -- while Joseph Michael Alioto, Michela Alioto-Pier's brother, is thinking seriously about running in San Francisco District 3, for Supervisor after current rep Aaron Peskin terms out.

Next up for us: convincing Boutros Boutros Ghali to run for both seats too!
