I have
been active in the San Francisco Democratic Party for nearly fifteen years,
serving on the boards of the Noe Valley Democratic Club (three years as
president), the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club (two years as president), the
Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club and most recently the District 8 Progressive
Democrats. First elected to the San
Francisco DCCC in 2006, I have served as a member and vice chair of that body
and have served on the Resolutions Committee of the California Democratic
Party. As a member of the SF DCCC, I have at various times helped lead the
Party’s voter registration efforts, chaired the local Party’s Resolutions
Committee, and worked to strengthen relationships between the Party and our
partners in labor, the environmental movement, the tenants rights movement, and
the peace movement.
If
re-elected, my priorities will include:
1.
Helping
elect excellent progressive candidates at every level of government;
2.
Engaging
more young people, women and minorities in the work of San Francisco Democratic
Party; and
3. Developing
the grassroots of the Party by encouraging the formation of new Democratic
Clubs and other organizations and structures to build the Party and make it
relevant to more people.
