State and City Ballot Measures
The SFGOP invites each candidate running for office to make a presentation at our endorsement meeting about their candidacy. After reviewing the positions of each candidate, the SFGOP will make an endorsement. Often, there are no candidates in a particular race who we think would best represent Republicans if elected.
Why did you list "no position" next to some propositions?
The SFGOP's bylaws require that 60% of the Committee's members vote to Support or Oppose a measure. For these propositions, neither side received enough votes for us to make a recommendation.
