Chicken John vs Josh Wolf Mayoral Debate & Fundraiser

Chicken John

Josh Wolf

It’s Chicken vs. Wolf, that’s right San Francisco mayoral candidates Chicken John and Josh Wolf are going to battle it out on August 5th at a big debate, moderated by permit consultant Jeremy Paul, which will take place at Chez Poulet starting at 8pm. This event will also serve as a campaign fundraiser for both candidates, so there is a $10 suggested donation at the door, but donations up to $500 are encouraged.

With little more than a week before the filing deadline, mayoral candidates “Chicken John” Rinaldi and Josh Wolf have announced a joint fundraiser to help raise the necessary money to secure their status on the ballot. The highly anticipated Chicken v. Wolf debate will square off two of the most talked about, most controversial mayoral candidates and be moderated by permit consultant Jeremy Paul. The debate will feature questions from the audience and streamed live over the internet for those unable to attend. Take part in what could be the most captivating debate this campaign season this Sunday at 8PM at 3359 Cesar Chavez St. (near Mission). A $10 suggested donation will be taken at the door, but supporters are encouraged to donate up to $500 to either or both candidates at the event.

Oh and it’s official, Matt Gonzalez has decided not to run for mayor of San Francisco this election (Laughing Squid helped out with his last campaign back in 2003).

UPDATE: Here are my photos from the debate.
