I believe San Francisco
is a special place worth fighting for. That's why I love it, that's why I live here,
and that's why I've worked so hard for years to protect San Francisco’s beauty,
vibrancy, and unique character.
I’m running for a seat
on the SF Democratic Party County Central Committee to reclaim the SF Democratic
Party from the real estate industry and corporate lobbyists who have taken it over
to serve their own interests. A real estate lobbyist should not be the Chair of
the San Francisco Democratic Party, which should be fighting to keep families in
their homes, not helping to evict them by blocking Ellis Act reform and opposing
tenant eviction protection measures. I will vote to replace the Chair with someone
independent of the real estate lobby and work to ensure that the SF Democratic Party
becomes a leader in the fight to stop unfair evictions and create affordable housing.
For the last fifteen years,
I have worked hard to preserve San Francisco’s environment and unique character.
I worked together with the Sierra Club and Save the Bay to stop the SF Airport from
paving over two square miles of the Bay for new runways. I led the battle to pass
2004’s Proposition I, which got MUNI to replace its dirtiest diesel buses with cleaner
hybrid‐electrics. I fought to pass the Coit Tower Preservation ballot measure to
limit commercial activity and private events at Coit Tower and to prioritize the
funds generated at Coit Tower to preserve Coit Tower and its historic New Deal‐era
murals. I led the No Wall on the Waterfront campaign to defeat the 8 Washington
high-rise luxury condos and to pass Prop. B in June 2014 to give voters the power
to protect our waterfront by requiring voter approval for waterfront height limit
increases.
I have been endorsed by
State Senator Mark Leno, former Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, former City Attorney Louise
Renne, the Tenants Union, and the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, among others.
I would be honored to have the support of the Noe Valley Democratic Club.
