One Party Town

By Michael Weinreb

San Francisco is a city infused with power and wealth that’s produced some of the biggest political stars of the past 50 years, from Nancy Pelosi to Gavin Newsom to presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Yet for all of its national prestige, San Francisco’s own city government, dominated by a single party, has long struggled with corruption and dysfunction.

One Party Town is an audio documentary series that goes beyond the hot takes and partisan headlines and takes an honest look inside the nation’s most controversial city. How has a single party come to dominate San Francisco, and managed to have such a massive impact on national politics? Why hasn’t its own government worked better? And, in a country increasingly divided between red and blue factions, what does all of this say about the future of America?
