She came in a distant third in the mayoral election. In October, she gave Aimee Allison a high-profile endorsement, and then watched Allison get creamed despite outspending Kernighan. Given the sharp disagreements between Nadel and Brooks on the Council's biggest issues of the fall (condo conversions and "inclusionary zoning," ie a $100k/bd condo tax), she probably can't count on that vote (not to mention her EBX argument with Keith Carson, Brooks' old boss). So, Nadel's candidacy probably just means that she'll lose her chairmanship of the Public Works Committee. I don't know much about restorative justice, but Nadel's a bit out-of-touch on crime issues, and prone to flubs (like when she told KTVU that the answer to a murder in her neighborhood is conflict-resolution classes in kindergartens). Her interests seem to be on a slightly larger scale. Given the debate she had with Keith Carson in the EBX, maybe she should be angling for County Supervisor, not Council President. Good quote from Brooks, though. BTW, your link doesn't work. Nadel is an unlikely Council President. She came in a distant third in the mayoral election.
