On the 49ers podcast with Marko:

#1 San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York has over $4 million invested in the Santa Clara Mayoral race. York is hoping his spending money would land City Councilman Anthony Becker the Mayor’s job. Becker has backed the 49ers as current Mayor Lisa Gillmor has fought the 49ers on payments to the city for maintenance revenue.

#2 Marko as of Thursday night the race is tight with Gillmor in front with a slight lead 50.1 to Becker’s 49.8. This is a closely watched race because the 49ers have so much at steak in the Mayoral election. The 49ers have their hopes on Becker especially after the city council had voted to approve the over $1 million the 49ers paid in the maintenance fees.

#3 It was also reported that the 49ers this past election day had spent another $62,353 which means the 49ers have now spent a total of $4.6 million which works out to $80 per Santa Clara resident. If Gillmor was to win this election how will this change the relationship dynamic between the 49ers and Gillmor?

#4 On the field the 49ers are coming off a bye from last Sunday and a win over the Los Angeles Rams the week before. The mood in the dressing room and at practice has been positive since the win in the Southland.

#5 The 49ers are at home for Sunday Night Football Nov 13th against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have been rolling wining four of their last five games. The Chargers defeated the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday 20-17 in Atlanta. How do you see this match on Sunday Night Football?
