I am seeking reelection to DCCC because
of my commitment to low-income, homeless and marginalized citizens in
our City.
This is my 40th year of public service,
beginning in 1976 when I began working for Rep. Shirley Chisholm of Brooklyn,
the first Black woman to ever serve in Congress and 1972 Presidential
candidate.
After 22+ years in San Francisco City
government, I have a deep connection to the neighborhoods of our City and have
served thousands of our citizens in making government more effective and
responsive.
I am particularly able to address
systems that serve the poorest of our citizens and I worked diligently to
establish the SF Navigation Center which has significantly address the elements
of traditional shelters that have kept people from accessing services and left
them on the street.
I worked with Carol Yenne of Noe Valley
and others to successfully house an individual who had been living, and come
close to dying, on the streets of Noe Valley for many years.
Noe Valley is my goto neighborhood for
Sid. We dine regularly at Barney’s, get frozen yogurt at Easy Breeezy or candy
at Buttons, paint pottery at Terra Mia, bought her bike at Noe Valley Cyclery
and shop for every one of Mom’s birthdays at Gallery of Jewels and sometimes
grab a great haircut from Robert at SuperCuts.
I championed and won approval for the
Noe Valley Association and shepherded renovations of Sally Brunn Library, Noe
Courts, and Upper Noe Rec Center. More than most DCCC candidates, I have
directly helped improve the neighborhood’s quality and vitality. I would be
honored to, once again, have your endorsement.
