UPDATE: Eric writes us to say that it’s not official. He hasn’t 100% decided, apparently. Still, we’ll be really excited if he does run, and urge him very strongly to run. To whit: Run, Eric, Run!

It’s official. Longtime progressive School Board member Eric Mar is running for Supervisor in District 1. Eric will make a great supervisor. This is some of the best news I have gotten in a long time. I know the members of my local will be excited as well. He is a former member of SEIU Local 790 and is incredibly popular in our membership.
