Chicken John Meets Goal For Election Matching Funds

I just spoke to Chicken John, who is currently en route back to Burning Man. Working up until the very last minute, by today’s 5pm deadline he informed me that he was able to raise the required $25K to qualify for the San Francisco matching funds for his mayoral campaign. As far as I know, Chicken and Tony Hall are the only candidates challenging on Gavin Newsom for mayor that have meet the matching funds requirement. Chicken John campaign HQ lets us know how it all went down.
