Theresa Sparks, a transgender activist who was honored as Woman of the Year by the state Assembly, called today to tell me she’s going to run for president of the Police Commission, challenging former City Attorney Louise Renne, who currently holds the job and shows no signs of wanting to step down.
I suspect Sparks will get at least a couple of votes from the more progressive side of the panel, including David Campos and maybe Petra DeJesus. That would leave Joe Vernonese, who is about to announce he’s running for state Senate, as the swing vote.
Should be a fascinating meeting May 9th.
