The February 2008 San Francisco general elections were held on February 5, 2008, in San Francisco, California. The elections included the United States presidential primaries, seven California ballot propositions, and three San Francisco ballot measures.[1]
In the presidential primaries, San Francisco Democrats voted 51.98% in favor of candidate Barack Obama, versus 44.19% for Hillary Clinton.[2]
San Francisco Republicans voted 52.46% in favor of John McCain, with 21.03% voting for Mitt Romney and 5.75% voting for Mike Huckabee.[2]
San Francisco voters rejected Proposition C, which would have turned Alcatraz Island into a "Global Peace Center".[3]
They approved Proposition A, a $185 million bond measure to improve park and waterfront spaces.[4] They also approved Proposition B, allowing retirement-age police officers to continue working while adding to their pension funds.[5]
Proposition A would allow the city to issue bonds worth a total of $185 million to fund municipal park and recreation facilities and to raise property taxes to fund these bonds, permitting landlords to pass 50% of the increase to tenants. This proposition required a two-thirds majority to pass.
