One day after San Francisco District Attorney george gas cone resigned, the mayor appointed somebody in his place. Suzie loftus has been running for that office for more than a year. Some say this gives her an unfair advantage over other candidates. Some supervisors and protesters had a lot to say about this appointment. And so did the mayor. Larry, San Francisco politics, never boring. Within 24 hours of gascone resigning, we had a potential replacement which was the worst kept secret because everybody knew who it was. We had the mayor followed by protesters, followed by the protesters chasing the new person around chinatown. Because i know suzy loftus is the right person to do this job. Reporter making that announcement appointing loft loftus became a challenge. Protesters gathered at the location in chinatown where london breed was supposed to deliver her messag the event was postponed for several minutes. Once protesters spotted loftus they chased her around chinatown. Shes a controversial figure because she once led the Police Commission during Tumultuous Times for the city. Despite the multiple interruptions she was finally appointed, surrounded by her daughters. On my way over here i got to have a beautiful walk through chinatown. Reporter while many agree shes qualified for the job, some supervisors are critical of the appointment. The election is on november 5th, a month away. If i were the mayor, i think i would have said, hey, we want to hear what the voters want and were not going to try to influence the election. Reporter ironically mayor breed herself encountered a similar situation following the death of ed lee. As board president , breed stepped into the position of acting mayor while at the same time running for office. But a month later, january 2018, she was removed from her job by her colleagues on the board because they saw that as a political advantage. Supervisor mark farrell was then voted in as acting mayor. Today breed had no apologies. We need to start doing more sooner rather than later, and tt Attorneys Office unattended. So thats really why we need to make sure that we have sbroid who understands the office a on and thats suzy. The winner wont take office until january. Thats why the mayor said it was important in her mind that she had somebody like loftus in that position for at least the next three months. In the news room, leanne melendez, abc 7 news. What a wild scene. The appointment and the protesters chasing her around. Classic San Francisco politics. How are the other candidates running for the post dealing with the post today. There are three. Leaf douch, nancy chung, chess is a bow dean and, of course, suzy loftus. Theyre not happy because they see this as a political move, one that gives loftus an advantage and theyre well aware that incumbents or people appointed usually win an election. Leanne, thank you.
