    Mayor Breed’s official Campaign Kickoff, however, took place on May 18 at The Fillmore. Acclaimed actor, producer, and political activist Danny Glover was among those who attended, along with many who were at the May 3 event, and still others, such as Manny Yekutiel of Manny’s and Patrick Carney and Hossein Carney of the Pink Triangle on Twin Peaks.

    Fischer, a former San Francisco Bay Times columnist, wrote, “Mayor Breed’s speech was amazing and uplifting—and she does it ‘old-school’; no Teleprompter, no notes, no podium, no notecards—authentic and from the heart.”
