Candidate Forums
For each San Francisco election, the League of Women Voters of San Francisco organizes and co-sponsors moderated non-partisan forums for candidates to present their views on the issues most important to voters.
The League of Women Voters of San Francisco does not support or oppose candidates or political parties.
The events are non-partisan, free and open to the public. For some forums, online advance registration may be required. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
The candidates for District 5 Board of Supervisors will answer audience-submitted questions about key policy issues in District 5 and San Francisco. This is a great opportunity for voters in District 5 to learn more about the candidates before casting their votes.

District Attorney Candidate Forum
The November 5, 2019 District Attorney election will be the first in over 100 years without an incumbent sitting district attorney.
On September 9, 2019, the League of Women Voters of San Francisco co-sponsored a very informative forum hosted by the San Francisco Bar Association and the University of San Francisco School of Law. The forum, expertly moderated by Marisa Lagos, KQED Politics Correspondent and co-host of Political Breakdown, was an excellent opportunity to hear the four candidates answer questions and present their visions of criminal justice in San Francisco in the 21st century.
Candidates:
Chesa Boudin, San Francisco Public Defender
Leif Dautch, Deputy Attorney General, State of California
Suzy Loftus, Legal Counsel, San Francisco Sheriff's Department, City and County of San Francisco
Nancy H. Tung, Deputy District Attorney, Alameda County
