“A candidate on the cusp”
James Coleman, 21, the youngest and first openly LGBTQ+ candidate for South San Francisco City Council, spoke on the eve of Election Day about his hopes and expectations. His campaign to represent District 4 of South City against the incumbent of nearly 20 years, Mayor Richard Garbarino, is the only contested race for office taking place in the city.

Coleman’s campaign draws attention to some of the nation’s most pressing issues, such as affordable housing, public safety reform and climate change. It has also highlighted the generational political divide between the people and city council. At the time of publication, Coleman leads his opponent by 12 votes.

According to Coleman, who felt optimistic for his chances of success, South San Francisco had proved itself as being more progressive than perhaps people often give the city credit.
