Milk Club Endorses Mecke for Mayor
Wednesday, September 26, 2007 : The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club endorsed progressive mayoral candidate Quintin Mecke last night at its general membership meeting. The Club held a run-off between Mecke and incumbent Mayor Gavin Newsom, who had met with members to seek an endorsement, after no candidate got the necessary 60% at last month's meeting.
