MEDIA RELEASE *For Immediate Release* October 16, 2017 BAY AREA MAYORS LIBBY SCHAAF AND JESSE ARREGUIN ENDORSE GAVIN NEWSOM FOR GOVERNOR SAN FRANCISCO – Today, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin endorsed Gavin Newsom for Governor. "Many of California's shared successes have been defined by Gavin's courageous leadership and his willingness to challenge political assumptions,” said Schaaf. “From same-sex marriage to gun safety, universal health care, access to preschool, paid family leave, raising the minimum wage, and criminal justice reform, Gavin has paved the way for some of the most innovative and groundbreaking policy solutions. California deserves a leader like Gavin who will think big, create opportunity, and build a bigger and bolder future for our state while defending California's values. I'm proud to support Gavin Newsom for Governor." "Gavin Newsom has always stood up for our state's values. With an administration desperate to halt California's progressive lead, it is more important now than ever that we have a courageous leader who will continue to push our state forward, and has a record to prove it," said Arreguin. In addition to Mayor Schaaf and Mayor Arreguin, Newsom has been endorsed by many of Northern California’s top Democratic leaders and elected officials, including: • Former Democratic Party Chair John Burton • Rep. Eric Swalwell • Assemblymember David Chiu • Assemblymember Phil Ting • Assemblymember Tony Thurmond • San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee • Richmond Mayor Thomas Butt • Sheriff Vicki Hennessy • Treasurer Jose Cisneros • Assessor – Recorder Carmen Chu • Supervisor Mark Farrell • Supervisor Katy Tang • Supervisor Jeff Sheehy • Supervisor Ahsha Safaí • Supervisor Katie Hill • Board of Education President Matt Haney • Board of Education Vice President Hydra Mendoza-McConnell • Community College Board Trustee Alex Randolph • BART Board Member Lateefah Simon ### .

The convergence of neoliberalism, institutionalization of pan-Chinese documentary films and the historical marginalization of women’s filmmaking in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), respectively, have further perpetuated the marginalization of documentary films by local female filmmakers.

While the old adage “If Contributors it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” holds some credence, I prefer to think “When you stop James Caton getting better, you soon stop being good.” Douglas Cook John R.
