My office phone rang this afternoon and it was none other than actor Danny Glover — well, a recorded message from him anyway — asking me to support DeWitt Lacy for supervisor in District 10. (The Guardian office is located in the district.)
“I worked in southeast San Francisco before I went into acting,” Glover’s message says. “Lacy has earned my support because he will put people first.”
Lacy’s campaign has drawn some criticism in recent weeks for not being as visible as it could, but with Danny Glover’s message reaching D10 voters, it looks like Lacy is rallying for a strong final push. In any case, the D10 candidate clearly has some friends in high places. You can listen to Lacy’s Guardian endorsement interview here.
