Sanders backs Jane Kim in state Senate contest — dollars roll in

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders took a giant step into San Francisco politics Tuesday, endorsing Supervisor Jane Kim in the wide-open contest for the city’s state Senate seat.

The endorsement — and his email blast asking his supporters to send money to Kim — instantly started the cash flowing.

“The response has been incredible,” said Eric Jaye, a consultant for Kim’s campaign for the 11th state Senate District. “The phones started leaping off the hook (Tuesday) morning as soon as he sent the message out to his donors.”

By early afternoon, nearly 1,000 people had given more than $25,000 to Kim, Jaye said.

At first, I forgot to count Bernie! So almost a quarter of a million dollars and I didn't get my email until after 2:30.
