EVENTS (San Francisco, unless otherwise noted) 

* Meet the Candidate, Matt Gonzalez: May 14, 6-7:30 p.m.; $12 members, $20 non-members, $7 students
The Commonwealth Club, 595 Market St.
As president of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, Vice Presidential Candidate Matt Gonzalez helped to install rank-choice voting and raise the San Francisco minimum wage. In 2003, he ran for San Francisco mayor in a controversial election, just barely losing to Gavin Newsom. An unorthodox politician and local lawyer, Gonzalez plans to shake up the 2008 presidential race and reframe the dialogue. Join us for another “Get to Know the Candidate” program with Ralph Nader’s running mate in a wide-ranging conversation about Gonzalez’ political views, background and plans for the race in 2008. Wine and hors d’oeuvres reception. http://tickets.commonwealthclub.org/auto_choose_ga.asp?area=1
