For the last fifteen years, I have been working hard to preserve San Francisco’s neighborhoods, environment, and unique character and I’ll work just as hard for the SF Democratic Party if I am elected to serve on its governing body. I worked with the Sierra Club and Save the Bay to stop the SF Airport from paving over two square miles of the Bay for new runways. I led the battle to pass 2004’s Proposition I, which voters approved to require MUNI to replace its dirtiest diesel buses with cleaner hybrid-electrics. I fought to stop a shopping mall from being built by the Mills Corporation at Piers 27-31 – instead we have a cruise ship terminal that brings in visitors from around the world to SF every week. I led the campaign to protect Coit Tower and pass the Coit Tower Preservation ballot measure that forced the city to stop neglecting Coit Tower and its historic New Deal-era murals, to spend $1.7 million to restore Coit Tower and the murals, and to start treating the murals as the San Francisco treasure that they are. I led the No Wall on the Waterfront campaign to defeat the 8 Washington high-rise luxury condos and the battle to pass Prop. B in June 2014 to give voters the power to protect our waterfront by requiring voter approval for any waterfront height limit increases.
