Yekutiel exits SF supervisor race after new assault allegations trigger mass endorsement withdrawal
Manny Yekutiel suspended his campaign for San Francisco District 8 supervisor on October 1, 2026, following new sexual assault allegations published by The San Francisco Standard. The claims, which mirror a prior accusation from 2020, led to the immediate withdrawal of endorsements from Mayor Daniel Lurie and six city supervisors. Yekutiel denied the specific 2023 incident but apologized for crossing boundaries, while Gary McCoy emerged as the presumed frontrunner.
