Candidate for
Supervisor; County of San Francisco; District 6

I was born in San Francisco, and my wife and I own our home here. I've been active in our community for years, and believe in this city. But our leadership is leading us astray.

Rather than focusing on real solutions to the problems of homelessness and affordable housing, too often the most reasonable voices for change are drowned out by the loudest voices of special interest activists.

I do not agree that in order to lift our district up, we must continue the same failed policies which, while politically expedient, are neither effective nor compassionate.

I worked hard to help institute programs that focus on schools and community investment. Now, within our grasp lay policies that encourage home ownership in our neighborhoods, and will attract small merchants who will sustain our community.

In our efforts to be caring we cannot ignore our best instincts as to how our policies affect families # not only the poorest families, and not only the richest.

I'm proud to have the endorsements of those who work to make changes in our communities by lifting up our neighborhoods. But I'm equally proud to have the endorsements of families who make up the life of our neighborhoods.
