Police identified the suspect who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi as 42-year-old David DePape, a Berkeley resident.

The powerful former House speaker endorsed Board of Supervisors incumbents but did not weigh in on the hotly contested mayor’s race. 

“Paul remains under doctors’ care as he continues to progress on a long recovery process and convalescence,” a statement said.

Labor unions claim the company’s $120 million lawsuit is exacerbating the city's budget crisis.

DePape, who is accused of attacking 87-year-old Paul Pelosi with a hammer, is facing both federal and state charges.
