Position Papers
Transit
Making Muni Work for All of Us: I will make Muni a daily issue, fully fund and implement the Transit Effectiveness Project, 100% restoration of services, Free transit for youth, and building our Bike network.
Jobs
Making an Economy of Opportunity by maximizing small business opportunities in city-funded development, strengthening workforce development programs, enhancing our green jobs programs, eliminating the payroll tax.
Occupy SF
I stand with Occupy SF. I am appalled by the police crackdown that has been the reaction of City Hall. This is not the San Francisco I know. My vision is of a true sanctuary city - one that protects our right to free speech and assembly, and one that holds the real criminals accountable.
