San Francisco Supervisor Scott Weiner who is running for the California State Senate organized his supporters on August 30, 2016 at Mission High to picket and protest a "town hall" meeting called by Supervisor Jane Kim who is also running for the State Senate. They placed tents on the sidewalks and claimed that Kim was getting more financial support from developers than Scott Weiner and she wanted the tents to stay up in San Francisco. Some of his supporters called for deregulation of the housing market and also supported Jerry Brown's change of zoning laws to limit controls by local communities. One said there was not a problem with evictions in San Francisco and the eviction law was working good. Weiner had previously blocked a SF supervisors resolution opposing Governor Brown's proposal.
One of Jane Kim's speakers at the meeting former mayor Antonio Villaraegosa said he did not know about Governor Brown's proposed legislation. He also has attacked Los Angeles teacher union UTLA and supported the proposal of billionaire Eli Broad to privatize LA schools through more charters in Los Angeles.
Kim has also supported charters in San Francisco and says they should be for the students doing best. Her statement on charters and privatization that she gave to AFT 2121 was removed from their website by the AFT 212 political director Alisa Messer who said it was being used politically by outsiders.
