My disappointment with the leadership of Nancy Pelosi this term in Congress has reached a breaking point. Taking impeachment off the table was a mistake but the fault there lies primarily with Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the money man of Democratic politics. Still on most counts I find her leadership wanting, including Speaker Pelosi’s abject failure to defend Senator Clinton from misogynistic attacks. The Farm Bill is monstrous. Thus it is with relief that another woman has stepped into the fray of San Francisco politics to run for the seat held by Nancy Pelosi. It’s a longshot but I am onboard.

Shirley Golub, 61, has raised more than $90,000 so far largely through the progressive Democratic website Act Blue. I hope you can support this committed Democrat in her race for Congress.
