Last week, The Left Hook reported on the attack mailers the Silicon Valley Organization (SVO), formerly the Chamber of Commerce, sent out against San Jose District 9 candidate Kalen Gallagher. On Monday during a press conference, Pam Foley, Gallagher’s opponent denounced the SVO attacks and stressed that she was in no way involved with the creation of the mailers.
However, Foley who stated that she was honored to have the SVO’s support, is not renouncing their endorsement or returning the money the SVO gave her, as past candidates have done when the SVO hits below the belt. In 2016, after the SVO went after his opponent with petty attacks, it was reported that Pat Waite, a candidate for San Jose Council District 8 “returned money from the Chamber and will no longer use its endorsement in his campaign materials.”
