Yup, Joanna Rees Wants to Run for SF Mayor

Back in April, venture capitalist Joanna Rees told VentureBeat that she was considering a run to succeed Gavin Newsom as mayor of San Francisco. We were more than a bit surprised, given that a Rees candidacy would result in all sorts of dirty laundry being re-aired.Connie even wondered if it was "largely a publicity stunt intended to clear her name in Silicon Valley."Well, it seems that Rees is serious. She recently launched a website that includes a blog (latest post is about post-divorce family), a biography (no mention of her VC firm's implosion), photos (including ones w/ Bill Clinton and Quincy Jones), nonprofit affiliations (e.g., New Schools, World Economic Forum) and select past investments.
