What are the top three issues you will work on, and how will you implement solutions in a timely manner? (1250 character limit)

Build Affordable Housing and Protect Tenants I’m dedicated to work tirelessly to find sites, make deals, and bring in funding from private, state and federal sources to actually build thousands of units of affordable housing. We must focus on expanding affordable housing for low, moderate, and middle income levels, not simply continuing to focus on luxury housing development as if that will trickle down.

Address Homelessness and Expand Health Services First and foremost, we need to get people off the streets and into shelters and housing. That means expanding our navigation centers, providing more emergency beds and services, getting the recently homeless back into housing as quickly as possible, and passing Our City, Our Home this November.

Protect Public Safety I’m committed to expanding a model of community policing and working with our police stations and communities to ensure that all of our residents are safe, protected and respected. We need to hold our police accountable to comprehensive reform; the current reform process is moving too slowly, with insufficient progress and accountability.

What for-profit or non-profit boards do you serve on, including political organizations? Tenderloin Economic Development Project (Board Member) Citizen Hope (Co-Founder) Evolve California (Advisory Board) Glide Legacy Committee (former Board Member) Mission Economic Development Agency (former Board Member) Emerge California (former Board Member)

What local and state commissions and policy bodies have you served on -- currently or in the past? San Francisco Board of Education (Commissioner, former President) San Francisco Community Policing Review Board (Member)

Do you support San Francisco Employees' Retirement System (SFERS) fully divesting from fossil fuels within three years and holding SFERS accountable at the ballot if they do not divest? Yes

Have you signed up for CleanPowerSF? Yes, for Green service

If California Prop 10 passes in November, repealing Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act, will you commit to implementing vacancy controls in San Francisco? Yes

Would you commit to not funding any new police academy classes until the SFPD implements the Budget Analyst's recommendation to adopt a more efficient weekly staffing schedule? (Recommendation 2.2 here: https://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/BA_Report_PA_of_San_Francisco_Police_Department_0 61218.pdf) Yes

Do you support congestion pricing for the downtown core? Yes

In the wake of the controversy around SB 827, would you propose any rezoning or other policy changes to increase housing -- particularly affordable housing -- while protecting against displacement of current residents? We must do more to increase housing, especially affordable housing, while rejecting blanket top down mandates to rezone the entire state. I was very happy to see the Board of Supervisors take charge and recently approve fast-tracking for 100% affordable developments. I will pursue process improvements to quicken our housing production without sacrificing community input.

In the instances where we do upzone--and I think there are many opportunities to do so, especially in District 6--we must also enact strong stabilization and anti-speculation measures like Community Right to Purchase, expanding affordable housing levels, growing the small sites acquisition program, and ensuring stronger penalties for speculative buying.

Ultimately, the private sector will not meet our housing needs on its own. I support expanding municipally owned and controlled housing, including major investments in social housing and purchasing and leasing of SROs. District 6 has many city owned parcels that should be prioritized for 100% affordable development.

Will you pledge to continue 's precedent-setting affordable housing negotiations, specifically securing 40% in new large residential development? Yes

Do you support the "Our City, Our Home" tax on gross receipts of businesses to fund homeless services? Yes

Do you support the gross receipts tax on transportation network companies (TNCs) and other private transit vehicle services? Yes

Is there anything else you want to tell us? (3000 character limit) I am proud to have been endorsed by the League of Pissed Off Voters during my 2016 school board race. I have a strong progressive record of supporting and empowering our educators, students, and families as a School Board member, eviction defense attorney, former director of the UC Student Association, and founder of a national criminal justice reform non-profit.

I grew up in a single parent family here in the Bay Area and attended public schools. I have spent my entire adult life in San Francisco in public service--working to make sure that our city is more equitable and healthier for all of our residents. We all know that there are massive problems in our city that aren’t being treated like the crises they are: homelessness, affordability, and safety. We are the fastest growing economic inequality gap of anywhere in the country, with tens of thousands of residents pushed out of the city over the last 10 years. Living in the Tenderloin, I see the challenges firsthand every day. It’s frustrating to see not only our city fail to address these challenges, but also people losing faith in our city’s ability to solve these problems in an innovative and compassionate way.

Over the last five years, I have served on the School Board where I have effectively fought for a school system that is more supportive, healthy and equitable. I visited all 113 of our K-12 schools, and while I served as President, made sure we approved new housing for teachers and expanded computer science education to all students. I’ve authored dozens of policy resolutions to close the opportunity gap and to better support our most vulnerable students, including authoring the “Safe and Supportive Schools” policy which helped cut school suspensions by over 50%.

I was the only local elected official in the country endorsed by President Barack in 2016. I am proud to have the sole endorsement in this race of the outgoing progressive D6 Supervisor Jane Kim.

I believe deeply in the need for elected officials to be in coalition; that’s why I’ve gained support from the teachers union, a majority of the Board of Supervisors, all of my school board colleagues, the entire City College Board, the Tenants Union, California Nurses, Milk Club, SEIU 1021, AFT 2121, Firefighters Local 798, Unite Here Local 2, Tom Ammiano, Mark Leno, and dozens of other individuals and organizations.

I’ve seen what we can accomplish when progressive elected officials are in office; when we work together with the community and with elected officials; when we approach daunting challenges with an open mind and bold solutions. I’m committed to collaborating with residents and community leaders to ttackle our district’s and city’s hardest challenges, and build affordable housing, expand economic opportunity, protect public safety, and solve homelessness. Thank you for your consideration, and let’s get to work!
