Looks like these three are all going the right way (yes on E, yes on F, no on H). One unfortunate result is what I think is a bad proposition looks like it's going to succeed - it says that you have to step down from SF city office (basically, board of supervisors, which is our city council) to run for higher office. Two supervisors ran for state senate recently, two supervisors are currently running for mayor, and I think that's a
good thing that makes elections more competitive - now people are going to be discouraged because maybe they lose their seat for good.
