His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"ecruzguevarra":{"type":"authors","id":"8654","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8654","found":true},"name":"Ericka Cruz Guevarra","firstName":"Ericka","lastName":"Cruz Guevarra","slug":"ecruzguevarra","email":"ecruzguevarra@kqed.org","display_author_email":true,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Producer, The Bay Podcast","bio":"Ericka Cruz Guevarra is host of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/thebay\">\u003cem>The Bay\u003c/em>\u003c/a> podcast at KQED.

The first, Virginia “Ginny” Simms, was elected in 1972, half a century after women gained the right to vote in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But come next January, all five seats on the board will be filled by women, a historic first for Napa — and the Bay Area. Napa, a largely rural county with a population of about 134,000, is only the second county in California to elect an all-female board. Los Angeles County, a megalopolis of 9.8 million people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-04/l-a-county-makes-history-with-all-female-board-of-supervisors\">was the first to do so in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With final results certified, Amber Manfree, Liz Alessio and incumbent Belia Ramos will join Supervisors Joelle Gallagher and Anne Cottrell. “It’s exciting to be part of a historic moment,” Ramos said. “The people voted in who they believed were the most qualified and capable candidates, and they all happened to be women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, a place where rolling green hills and orchards that produce world-famous wine dominate the landscape, the Board of Supervisors holds significant influence. Millions of dollars in social programs, wildfire preparation and the rules that the powerful wine industry must follow, all are under the purview of the board. And this year’s electoral results may represent a shift, not just in the demographics of those in power, but in the way that politics in Napa are done.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A diverse board\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Within hours of polls closing, one supervisor-elect was moving toward a swift victory. Napa City Councilmember Liz Alessio was already 50 points ahead of her opponent, retired educator Doris Gentry, in the race for the District 2 seat on the board. Gentry told KQED that same night \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978358/alessio-sails-to-easy-victory-in-napa-district-2-race-with-remaining-county-board-contests-undecided\">she would be calling Alessio to congratulate her\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Belia Ramos, supervisor, Napa County\"]‘The people voted in who they believed were the most qualified and capable candidates and they all happened to be women.’[/pullquote]During the campaign, Alessio built an impressive coalition, netting the endorsement of every sitting mayor in the county within a month of announcing her candidacy. Improving access to health care in the county — specifically access to mental health and substance abuse care — was a central issue in her campaign. Alessio drew on her more than 20 years of experience in the health sector, including time at Queen of the Valley Medical Center, the largest hospital in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to strengthen the county’s Health & Human Services office and believes the county can better respond to substance abuse issues by bringing together “all stakeholders here in Napa County, from the ER at our hospital to the nonprofits to county direct services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alessio’s background in public health sets her apart from past board members, many of whom came from business or agriculture. In fact, all five women on the newly elected board bring very different types of expertise. No one represents that more than Amber Manfree, a science writer with a geography doctorate from UC Davis. She defeated her opponent, former Napa City Councilmember Pete Mott, by about 520 votes in the race for the District 4 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m bringing science to this role,” she said. “This is such a lovely community. And it takes a lot of really thoughtful management to make sure that it stays lovely — a lot of skills in mapmaking, spatial analysis as well as having done lots of reading on policy and climate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She chuckles and adds that earlier in her life, she never imagined she would run for office. “Napa has done the impossible in a lot of ways. They have elected an introvert as a supervisor,” she said, “I like nothing more than to be analyzing data or making a map to communicate something to an audience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Manfree was anything but an introvert during the campaign, leading dozens of volunteers each weekend to knock on doors in Napa City. She also led hikes to connect with voters and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ambermanfreecommunity/posts/pfbid02whffkEXfUwf62Uyatjso8bupWnofU161Dkbftar6MJySGRJ9fL7BzV5zyvUmtwLvl\">even hosted a workshop on how to grow edible mushrooms\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of her goals, she said, has been to get folks in her district to feel hopeful about local politics again. She wants the board to establish an ethics commission to hold county officials accountable for any potential conflicts of interest and improve trust in local government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March, the Press Democrat first reported that \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/napa/fbi-raided-napa-county-supervisor-alfredo-pedrozas-home-records-show/\">the FBI searched a home owned by outgoing Supervisor Alfredo Pedroza\u003c/a>, who made history in 2016 as the youngest person to serve on the board. Federal agents are currently conducting a county-wide investigation, with multiple wineries, the Napa County Farm Bureau and the Upper Valley Waste Management Agency all receiving subpoenas. The U.S. Department of Justice has not released the reason for the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Planning Napa’s future\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The incoming board will have a lot on its plate: finding a way to finance wildfire protection services in the long-term, working with cities to meet the state’s housing goals and perhaps the biggest item on the agenda, updating the county’s General Plan, which will guide future land development priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The General Plan was last updated in 2008 by a completely different board for what could be described as a completely different Napa before the devastating wildfires in 2017 and 2020, severe drought conditions in the 2010s, and an explosion in demand for affordable housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what’s going to set the trajectory for our county for the next 30 years,” Supervisor Ramos said. Next year, she will be the longest-serving member on the board after defeating American Canyon City Councilmember Mariam Aboudamous, who was backed by powerful industry groups like Napa County Farm Bureau and Winegrowers of Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"forum_2010101904759,news_11977784,news_11978358\"]All five women have been clear: Preserving Napa’s agricultural land is a priority. Building new housing — including the affordable housing desperately needed by the county’s working class — will most likely take place within Napa’s few cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Joelle Gallagher, who has served on the board since 2023, said she wants to approach the General Plan update through a health and equity lens. “We focus on a lot of important issues to families already here in Napa County,” she said, “but I think that when women are given that responsibility to make policies, you tend to think about things that have been difficult for women, kids and families, and those become pretty high priorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For reproductive justice advocates, the new board represents an opportunity to strengthen access to abortion care in Napa since Roe v. Wade was overturned. “Because this is no longer under the control of the federal government, it’s really going to be up to local jurisdictions to get creative with the way that they expand services in their communities,” said Christian García, vice president of government relations with Planned Parenthood Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood Northern California manages a health center in the city of Napa, which reopened in 2023 in a new location, partly because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11937191/abortion-crisis-pregnancy-centers-reproductive-rights-california-roe-v-wade\">the previous location was the target of protests and elaborate misinformation efforts by anti-abortion activists\u003c/a>. But despite the new location, García said the health center is still facing protesters, who seem more aggressive and disruptive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more collaboration that we can have with the Board of Supervisors, the Sheriff’s Department … to really ensure that patients coming in, that staff working at these health centers are not being fear-mongered by these protesters,” he said, “that will be essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>‘I’m filled with hope every day’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Susannah Delano, what’s happening in Napa is part of a transformation in local politics. Delano leads Close the Gap California, an advocacy group that seeks to elect more women to office. She previously worked with SEIU 2015 and Planned Parenthood Northern California, where she became familiar with the power dynamics across Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Napa politics really have been a boys club — and a white boys club in particular — for most of recent history,” she said. But she adds that having five women on the board, each with such different backgrounds, represents how much women-led organizing has grown in the Bay Area and throughout California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county boards of Santa Clara, Marin and Solano already have a plurality of female supervisors. And more than 40% of the state Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://womenscaucus.legislature.ca.gov/news/2022-11-16-women%E2%80%99s-caucus-achieves-benchmark-toward-gender-parity-pace-record-50-seats#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20most%20recent,the%20state%20Assembly%20and%20Senate.\">is made up of women\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m filled with hope every day,” Delano said. “What I see when I look at the numbers is just an enormous sea change of women from all different racial backgrounds and strong LGBTQ representation, who are going to change the face of California politics for decades to come.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How greater representation will translate into policy in Napa County will be decided by the incoming board.

Los Angeles County, a megalopolis of 9.8 million people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-04/l-a-county-makes-history-with-all-female-board-of-supervisors\">was the first to do so in 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With final results certified, Amber Manfree, Liz Alessio and incumbent Belia Ramos will join Supervisors Joelle Gallagher and Anne Cottrell. “It’s exciting to be part of a historic moment,” Ramos said. “The people voted in who they believed were the most qualified and capable candidates, and they all happened to be women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, a place where rolling green hills and orchards that produce world-famous wine dominate the landscape, the Board of Supervisors holds significant influence. Millions of dollars in social programs, wildfire preparation and the rules that the powerful wine industry must follow, all are under the purview of the board. And this year’s electoral results may represent a shift, not just in the demographics of those in power, but in the way that politics in Napa are done.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>A diverse board\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Within hours of polls closing, one supervisor-elect was moving toward a swift victory. Napa City Councilmember Liz Alessio was already 50 points ahead of her opponent, retired educator Doris Gentry, in the race for the District 2 seat on the board. Gentry told KQED that same night \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978358/alessio-sails-to-easy-victory-in-napa-district-2-race-with-remaining-county-board-contests-undecided\">she would be calling Alessio to congratulate her\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘The people voted in who they believed were the most qualified and capable candidates and they all happened to be women.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","size":"medium","citation":"Belia Ramos, supervisor, Napa County","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>During the campaign, Alessio built an impressive coalition, netting the endorsement of every sitting mayor in the county within a month of announcing her candidacy. Improving access to health care in the county — specifically access to mental health and substance abuse care — was a central issue in her campaign. Alessio drew on her more than 20 years of experience in the health sector, including time at Queen of the Valley Medical Center, the largest hospital in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to strengthen the county’s Health & Human Services office and believes the county can better respond to substance abuse issues by bringing together “all stakeholders here in Napa County, from the ER at our hospital to the nonprofits to county direct services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alessio’s background in public health sets her apart from past board members, many of whom came from business or agriculture. In fact, all five women on the newly elected board bring very different types of expertise. No one represents that more than Amber Manfree, a science writer with a geography doctorate from UC Davis. She defeated her opponent, former Napa City Councilmember Pete Mott, by about 520 votes in the race for the District 4 seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m bringing science to this role,” she said. “This is such a lovely community. And it takes a lot of really thoughtful management to make sure that it stays lovely — a lot of skills in mapmaking, spatial analysis as well as having done lots of reading on policy and climate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She chuckles and adds that earlier in her life, she never imagined she would run for office. “Napa has done the impossible in a lot of ways. They have elected an introvert as a supervisor,” she said, “I like nothing more than to be analyzing data or making a map to communicate something to an audience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Manfree was anything but an introvert during the campaign, leading dozens of volunteers each weekend to knock on doors in Napa City.

Next year, she will be the longest-serving member on the board after defeating American Canyon City Councilmember Mariam Aboudamous, who was backed by powerful industry groups like Napa County Farm Bureau and Winegrowers of Napa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"forum_2010101904759,news_11977784,news_11978358"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>All five women have been clear: Preserving Napa’s agricultural land is a priority.

Wade was overturned. “Because this is no longer under the control of the federal government, it’s really going to be up to local jurisdictions to get creative with the way that they expand services in their communities,” said Christian García, vice president of government relations with Planned Parenthood Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planned Parenthood Northern California manages a health center in the city of Napa, which reopened in 2023 in a new location, partly because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11937191/abortion-crisis-pregnancy-centers-reproductive-rights-california-roe-v-wade\">the previous location was the target of protests and elaborate misinformation efforts by anti-abortion activists\u003c/a>.

She previously worked with SEIU 2015 and Planned Parenthood Northern California, where she became familiar with the power dynamics across Napa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Napa politics really have been a boys club — and a white boys club in particular — for most of recent history,” she said.

We want to make sure that the city is competitive for some big chunks of money that are available at the federal level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters have highlighted the instability of the private banking industry, from the 2008–2009 financial crisis to more recent challenges like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11943215/us-seizes-silicon-valley-bank-as-stocks-tumble-depositors-scramble-to-withdraw-funds\">collapse of local Silicon Valley Bank\u003c/a>.

Preston added that private banking has left many San Francisco residents, particularly communities of color and small businesses, excluded from accessing equitable financial services like loans and mortgages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown that in San Francisco, Black and Latino households are disproportionately more likely to be denied home purchase loans. Research by the nonprofit Greenlining Institute found that Black San Franciscans, despite making up 6% of the local population, receive less than 1% of home purchase loans in the city. Latino households make up 16% of the population, but receive only 4% of such loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has led to potential ‘banking deserts’ where communities lack easy access to personal, business, and other financial services with bankers with local relationships and knowledge, a trend that has disproportionately affected low-income and minority populations,” \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12189483&GUID=BB6E2B58-7284-4C25-8285-70199518CD06\">the plan reads\u003c/a>. “This lack of services can lead customers to payday lenders, check cashers, and other financial services providers who offer predatory and harmful products.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While North Dakota already operates a statewide public bank, San Francisco would be the first-ever city in the U.S. to operate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interest in a statewide public banking option is also bubbling.

He spent four years on the San Francisco Democratic Party board. After 14 years as press secretary to City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Dorsey became a partner in a local communications company.

Hamasaki referred specifically to a public relations campaign to discredit District Attorney Chesa Boudin while Boudin's office was prosecuting a police officer for excessive use of force. The SFPD alleged that Boudin's office had violated a memorandum of understanding between the police and the DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamasaki, who is a critic of the SFPD, said \"it created this aura that the district attorney was cheating in this case. But the facts that it was based on were misrepresented. It called into question, you know, what the police were doing with their taxpayer money and the resources in the media unit, and then also how that ultimately affected the trial.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who worked with Dorsey in the City Attorney's office is state Sen. Scott Wiener, who called Dorsey \"a rock-solid choice\" for the job. Wiener, who like Dorsey went to the Board of Supervisors from the City Attorney's office, said it's useful experience for a supervisor to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can say that being in the City Attorney's Office, you see how city government works and how it's not working,\" Wiener said. \"You're involved in every aspect of city government, and you truly see the good, the bad and the ugly. So Matt is not going to need a huge education in terms of how the different departments are functioning and what needs to be done better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who said San Francisco must do more to address the lack of affordable housing in the city, said he'll bring his own experiences as a resident to help prioritize the issues he'll emphasize. \"I choose not to own a car. I commute generally by Bikeshare. I am a renter, so I think transportation will be important,\" he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who also is HIV-positive, sees a resemblance to the city's drug problems with the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and '90s. \"The stigma of who is dying is masking the horror of how many are dying,\" Dorsey said. \"And as somebody who remembers what those days were like, I just keep thinking that this is where a voice from this recovery community is needed.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, Dorsey is a staunch defender of the SFPD, saying that under Chief Bill Scott the police department has made tremendous strides implementing reforms that have reduced unlawful use of force and policies and practices that landed the previous police chief in hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">t is a better police department than people think it is,\" Dorsey said, adding that the rank-and-file officers don't get the credit other first responders have gotten during the pandemic. \"They were making a lot of the same sacrifices that nurses and firefighters and EMTs and others were — just not being appreciated.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just last week, Dorsey's future colleagues, led by Supervisor Dean Preston, criticized the media relations job Dorsey's office is doing, saying the SFPD was highlighting information that made the police look good with the goal of getting more city funding, while underplaying persistent problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to understand to what extent taxpayer funds are being used to help shape media and public narrative on these controversial issues,\" Preston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston's comment came at a meeting of the Government Audit and Oversight Committee that he called to explore issues related to the SFPD's communications operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Bill Scott has often sparred with District Attorney Chesa Boudin, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11913102\">who is facing a recall election\u003c/a>. Asked whether he supports Proposition H, the June 7 measure to recall Boudin, Dorsey hedged, saying he is \"authentically undecided,\" adding that \"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have some complicated issues around my [SFPD] department's relationship with the district attorney. And, we'll see.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to give some thought to it and pray on it and talk to the DA and talk to some others and hear from my residents,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Dorsey's opponents are already gearing up to face him in his first election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, who said \"I have nothing bad to say about Matt,\" noted that Mahogany was better suited to represent the district given her experience dealing with issues like affordable housing, homelessness and public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1523544352949039106\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He [Dorsey] writes press releases for the police and for a lobbying firm,\" he said. \"That's very different than someone who has been in the trenches working to keep a community safe, to build housing.
