October 19, 2020 — The second district supervisorial race took an unexpected turn earlier this month, when Mari Rodin canceled a candidate’s forum for health reasons. In an interview on Monday, Rodin disclosed that she was having an exploratory surgery in San Francisco the day of the planned forum, and that she found out the next day, October 6, that she has cancer.
Rodin says her campaign for supervisor is still active, and according to Katrina Bartolomie, the county registrar of voters, as of Monday morning, 1,914 of the 9,491 voters in the second district had already mailed in their ballots.
