Honestly, I was reluctant to support Ryan's DA campaign because I think he's unlikely to win.
But it's important he's running. Running for office is hard! Progressives don't have a candidate this year for SF westside Assembly or state Senate, so Catherine Stefani and Scott Wiener will coast to (re-)election, and they're both pretty bad.
So while I'll be pragmatic about where I spend volunteering time, I donated to Ryan and will be at the kickoff. When good people make the effort, back them up.
