"There are already two candidates who've announced they're running for Supervisor Rafael Mandelman's District 8 seat when he's termed out in the November 2026 election, as one-time Nancy Pelosi aide Gary McCoy has thrown his hat in the ring. We learned last week that Manny's cafe owner Manny Yekutiel said he would be running for District 8 supervisor in November 2026, an election that is still 14 months away."
"(For those keeping score at home, Supervisors Matt Dorsey, Stephen Sherrill, and whoever they name to replace Joel Engardio will also be up for reelection that day, Supervisor Shamann Walton will also be termed out.) The Chronicle's reporting on Yekutiel's announcement also noted that Gary McCoy, a former aide to the then-Supervisor Scott Wiener, then-Supervisor London Breed, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was also considering running. And in a 7:30 pm Tuesday night press release."
Two candidates have announced runs for San Francisco District 8 supervisor: Manny Yekutiel and Gary McCoy. Current Supervisor Rafael Mandelman will be termed out in November 2026 after two terms. District 8 covers the Castro, Glen Park, Noe Valley, and Diamond Heights. McCoy served as an aide to Scott Wiener, London Breed, and Nancy Pelosi and announced his campaign asserting he has fought for health care, housing, working families, and the LGBTQ community and wants to bring that fight to City Hall. Local reporting notes McCoy faces a series of criminal and drug charges from 2000–02, including grand larceny, felony theft, probation violations, and failures to appear in court. McCoy is up front that he was stealing.
