As the Briones Society says of itself, “We believe there is a large, unheard, and underserved constituency of voters in San Francisco who are tired of virtue signaling from the left and conspiracy theories from the right. Voters are waiting for a real alternative — a new politics that’s not just watered-down progressivism. “ Simply stated, they are common sense, fiscally prudent, constitutional Republicans. They will be introduced by Seminarian Mike Fitzgerald.
