Why it matters
Local News Matters called Marin City one of the longest-lasting and most historically important African American neighborhoods in the Bay Area, with roots more than 80 years old in the Marinship wartime shipyard. Candidates debated in September at the First Missionary Baptist Church in a forum moderated by its pastor, Rondall Leggett. Issues raised in coverage of the race include affordable housing, the future of the Golden Gate Village public housing complex, and gentrification.
Other local races
Marin City voters will also elect trustees for the Sausalito Marin City School District, where four candidates are running for three seats, and directors for the Sausalito-Marin City Sanitary District.
