Last week's big rollout by District 6's newest resident confirmed the rumor: Theresa Sparks has positioned herself to be downtown's candidate in the 2010 race for Supervisor.
It was a mid-week media blitz that would make Gavin Newsom blush. A 6000-word feature in the chichi San Francisco Magazine leads with the sensational, "San Francisco's most electrifying political candidate since Harvey Milk." The SF Weekly's 5000-word cover story, Transblazer, was equally glowing, replete with fashion photos that drew a comparison to Lorraine Bracco of The Sopranos fame. Both pieces delve deeply into Sparks' personal life, including her transition after moving to San Francisco in the late 90's.
