Hey, everyone, this is exciting! In collaboration with the brilliant James and Ben of Participant Labs I'm delighted to announce a special gift for folks who care about San Francisco politics. Check it out now at sfmayorvote.com! On January 4, 2011, current San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom becomes California Lieutenant Governor. The Board of Supervisors gets to choose his replacement, and YOU DON'T GET TO VOTE — until now! sfmayorvote.com allows anyone with a Twitter account to register public support for one of the interim mayor contenders (and it only takes two clicks). We tabulate the votes and make sure the Board of Supervisors hears what you think. There's also a special surprise when you enter your vote. This shit is cool — you have got to check it out! Visit sfmayorvote.com and choose your next mayor now! Tell the board how you'd vote for San Francisco's interim mayor and help open up the political process in the city. Here's a screenshot in case you need a sneak preview. Happy Holidays, San Francisco! xo jesse
