alliance with another mayoral candidate. abc seven news reporter monica madden breaks it all down for us. hey, monica. hey. >> so, you know, for ranked choice voting instead of picking a singular candidate, they will list all of their top ones. so this system can lead to unexpected outcomes. because if there isn't a clear winner in the first count, everyone's second choice votes then get tallied and it goes on and on until there's a winner. so for mark farrell, linking up with asha safai is a strategic way for him to attempt to knock away votes from mayor london breed. >> together we will win this race.

>> in the contest for san francisco mayor. alliances can be key. >> i have formed a partnership with asha safai, former interim mayor mark farrell, asking his supporters monday to also vote for supervisor asha safai. while we don't agree on everything, we both believe london breed should not be mayor of san francisco. >> if politics is a game, so is the game of ranked choice voting. >> the question is, you know who has the best ranked choice voting game? >> i spoke with experts to explain how it works. >> the way it goes is like a round robin. >> when san francisco voters head to the polls, they can list up to ten choices for mayor in order of their preferred candidate. top to bottom. there's no minimum number of candidates. >> voters can choose if your preferred candidate loses your vote. stay active and get moved up. and so your votes stay alive and don't die with your candidates of candidacy in the way it does without ranked choice voting. but in this case, you still can keep your votes active, impacting the outcome of the election positively or

negatively. >> james taylor of usf says candidates have to be savvy about potential partnerships similar to what jean quan and rebecca kaplan did in the 2010 oakland mayoral race, ultimately leading quan, who was in second place, to beat her first place opponent, don perata. >> if you can, you know, find enough uh- cooperation or coalition with at least one other campaign. and this is what we saw in oakland. you had, you know, two campaigns united against don perata, and it was anybody but don is how it was described. and that was one of the most shocking outcomes of ranked choice voting so far in california, in california history. >> the breed campaign chalking it up to a deflection from the attack ads candidate daniel lurie, is launching at farrell a spokesperson for mayor london breeds campaign, telling us farrell's strategy is, quote, a ridiculous stunt that shows farrell's campaign is in total disarray. ultimately, anything could happen next month. farrell is also asking voters to not

rank supervisor aaron peskin, and meanwhile, he's also courting daniel lurie's voters. so it will be interesting to see if we see any other candidates start to partner up as voters head to the polls. yeah, definitely. >> all right. thank you, monica. >> all right, abc seven mornings anchor reggie aqui, along with annie gauss from the sf standard and well-known author and podcaster kara swisher, had the opportunity last week to talk at length with the top candidates for mayor of san francisco, london breed, mark farrell, daniel lurie and aaron peskin came to abc7, where we asked them about their plans to make the quality of life better in the city. you can watch our special in-depth interviews with the san francisco mayor's race candidates at abc7 news, dot com slash sf mayor, or wherever you stream abc seven news and hear from the candidates in the statewide race for u.s. senate tomorrow. join our own abc seven news anchor kristen sze as she panels the u.s. senate candidate forum. steve garvey and adam

getting worse. the question is, what are the people we elected doing about it? >> insurance has become a massive cost issue. >> seven on your side investigates tracked at least 32 insurance related bills that were discussed or voted on this session. among them, we found a clear discrepancy between the bills that passed versus those that didn't. money and the interests of insurance companies. >> there's nothing standing in the way of the companies getting the rate hikes. >> for example, of the handful of bills that passed, all of them either had support from insurance companies or benefited the california department of insurance with procedural or technical changes for insurers. one bill that passed addressing the insurance crisis is state senator susan rubio. sb 505, that aims to reduce the number of fair plan policies with a clearinghouse program, which will encourage more policies to shift back over to the admitted commercial market. >> it is not a threat to the insurance industry in any way. uh- that's why it passed.

>> meanwhile, the other five bills that either aim to lower insurance costs or increase transparency for consumers all failed. most were met with opposition from the insurance industry. >> this bill would only add additional strain on insurers. for these reasons, we are in respectful opposition. >> sb 1229 would have required insurance companies to disclose to an applicant if i was used to make decisions on their application or claim it failed. >> additionally, insurers are particularly concerned about the potential scope of the disclosures and any additional burden to their business model. >> the complaint from the insurance industry that a consumer protection is too burdensome is simply code for. we don't want to provide that information. >> we should expect companies to let us know what they're doing with our information. >> state senator anna caballero, who represents parts of the central valley, voted no. senator, why did you vote against this bill? i have an area that's rural and agricultural, and people earn low salaries. >> and one of the biggest

concerns i have is the inability to be able to buy a house because you need insurance. and so anything that's going to cause a disruption to the insurance industry right now, i'm very careful about. >> consumer advocates argue this bill aimed to increase transparency. do you agree that was the intention? >> you know, you're asking me to remember what happened in a hearing that was a number of months ago. transparency is good. but just for transparency sake, you don't that that doesn't do you any good. if there's no insurance companies left that are willing to give you a policy. >> what do you say to critics who argue some of these decisions are being too lenient to the sides of insurance companies? >> i think it's a balancing act. >> seven on your side found senator caballero received more than $1 million from finance, insurance and real estate industries since elected to the state assembly in 2006, the most out of any of her colleagues serving on the senate insurance committee. that's according to our analysis of data compiled by

been consistent on vetoing bills that have bring any cost into our state budget. that said, hopefully he can be creative enough in next year's budget to put this in that budget. we've got almost $3 billion in our fire resiliency budget. >> records show the governor has received more than $10 million from finance, insurance and real estate industries, according to follow. the money that makes up 62% of all the money he's received while in office. secretary. >> please read. >> meanwhile, two other bills that would have required insurance companies to factor in mitigation efforts passed their respective committees, and the senate bill even passed a floor vote. >> i respectfully ask for an i vote. >> the measure passes, but state senator josh becker pulled it because he said it didn't have the votes. >> becker received more than $417,000 from finance, insurance and real estate industries, according to follow the money. senator caballero was absent for that vote to frankly, by the time it got to the assembly.

morning. right now, the winds are at 180 miles an hour. it continues as a category four approaching the west coast of florida, eventually making landfall wednesday. and it looks like it is going to get slammed. it's a very serious situation. up to 15in of rain expected in isolated spots. hurricane watches, warnings, tropical storm watches and warnings already up and they are expecting the storm surge to be up to 15ft. that is going to lead to a lot of flooding right now locally we don't have any fog, but it's coming and that's going to help to cool us off tomorrow. mid 90s inland 60s coast. even cooler weather is coming our way mid to late in the week. you see these numbers going down from wednesday to thursday to friday only in the 60s to 80s. i say only because we've dealt with this heat wave for quite some time. ama and dan much cooler. by saturday we may be talking about a chance of showers. >> okay, so we're ready for the change. yes. thanks, andrea. all right. >> sports director larry beil is

is proving to be even weirder for the 40 niners who blew yet. another double digit lead in the fourth quarter, losing to arizona. 2423 starting to become a real signature of kyle shanahan and his coaching. the inability to close despite a rash of injuries. everything appeared to be going well for the 40 niners. i mean, they even blocked a field goal, returning it for a touchdown, which is pretty rare. but the defense

couldn't stop james conner with the game on the line. looked like the niners were trying to tackle godzilla or something. i mean, and yet they still had a chance to win. but the o line can't protect brock purdy. ongoing theme. the result of game sealing pick by the cardinals. niners dropped to two and three. they've got a short week now they're at seattle thursday night. >> we just have to go out and prove that we can do it. you know other seasons like you know i've started seasons where we won all the games and like we figured out how to win dirty, like really gross wins, but you still win. and we haven't figured out how to do that yet as a team. and we need to do that. >> you know like i said, we got a short week. so we don't have a choice but to turn the page. so you know, and obviously we got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot if we want to be a good football team. >> we'd love to be able to do something about that. what just happened? but you can't you can't do anything about these games. once they end. i tell the guys the next time we'll be able to do something is thursday, and it's better to only have to wait til thursday than to have to wait till next sunday.

>> the warriors back from training camp in hawaii. they have a preseason game with the kings tomorrow, but andrew wiggins is still under the weather. he's not going to play working out on his own outside of steph curry and draymond green is still unclear who will be in the dubs starting lineup. >> when you just do the numbers and add everybody up. a lot of people who have the capability of being in the rotation, so that's a good, good problem to have. but you also want it to sort itself out. you want guys to separate and make it really clear who should be playing playoff baseball. >> tigers and guardians game two of their division series straight to the ninth. scoreless game two on two outs. guardians closer emmanuel clase in to keep the game tied. kerry carpenter had other ideas. game winning three run homer right there. best of five series now tied one one as they go back to detroit. three zip the final. all right. nobody knew what to expect, but cal fans turned out in force for espn's college gameday, which started this past saturday. bright and early at 6 a.m. pat

mcafee blown away by the reception. >> i had some questions about coming out here to berkeley, but after experiencing it, it is very evident that this is one of the best cities in this year's united states of america. i am thankful to be here amongst these nerds in future geniuses, in future people that are going to run this place. it's an honor to be in berkeley. >> it's foggy. i think there's some skunks that died down the street, but this is awesome. >> they've been here since midnight last night. >> i said, you know it. >> you tell the story. you tell the whole world territory. >> whatever pat mcafee is eating, i want some. sports on abc7 is sponsored by smart and final. >> that's a lot of energy at the crack of dawn. >> it was epic. i have to tell you. unbelievable. crowd energy turnout. if only they'd won that game. >> but, you know, miami was

really heavily favored, so they did a good job. >> they did. but you got to close. >> yeah. thanks, larry. >> all right, all right. that's it for this edition chloe! hey dad. they will grow up.
