Political Notebook: Milk club endorses Campos for Assembly
The Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club is backing gay former supervisor David Campos in the race for San Francisco's open 17th District Assembly seat.
The progressive political group's decision October 19 to endorse Campos is a bit of déjà vu, as it had supported him when he first ran for the seat in 2014.
Back then Campos lost to his fellow board colleague David Chiu, who will step down November 1 from his Assembly seat to become San Francisco's first Asian American city attorney.
Mayor London Breed tapped him for the position after she named City Attorney Dennis Herrera as the new general manager of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
