Perhaps the clearest battle between progressive and moderate candidates is expected in District 11 in the Excelsior district of southern San Francisco. There, Supervisor Chris Daly's aide John Avalos has declared his candidacy and is expected to face off against Ahsha Safai, an aide to Newsom, though Safai has yet to file any candidate paperwork. Also running is Cecilia Chung, a transgender rights advocate and a member of the city's Human Rights Commission.
