A block away from Randy Knox’s campaign HQ, a vivacious crowd cheered Barack Obama’s presidency. Inside Knox’s HQ, Knox told the Guardian: “Barack has shown that anything is possible.”
Knox, a biracial black candidate running for District 11 Supervisor, has been avidly campaigning. He told the Guardian: “It has been an enlightening experience.” Knox said he has learned a lot about his neighborhood and “community reaction has been positive because they share the same intent.” Knox, a long time resident of District 11 relayed that the intent was to revive a neighborhood neglected by City Hall.
Volunteer and friend, Marcus Wong, 23, supports Knox. Wong told the Guardian: “Randy has the ability to do something amazing in life.” Alex Humphrey, 39, turned down a paid position with the Obama campaign to volunteer for Knox. Humphrey stated: “There is no one, running for District 11 Supervisor, as qualified as Randy.”
Throughout the night, various campaign personnel commemorated Knox as a personable and genuine man.
Although results would not be in for a few days, Wong said, “I’m optimistic. Definitely optimistic.”
