While San Francisco voters inched their troubled city in a moderate direction last week, approving ballot measures to empower the police and require drug screenings for welfare recipients, San Francisco Republicans also pulled their party to the political center.

While votes are technically still being counted, candidates from the moderate Briones Society appear to have won a super majority on the left-wing city’s Republican County Central Committee. Seventeen of 19 Briones Society candidates are on pace to win seats on the 25-member central committee, knocking out several current party leaders in the process.
