I ❤️ San Francisco. Co-founder @GrowSF. We’re helping get SF back on track by electing leaders who focus on outcomes. We’re the #1 voter guide in SF.

That staffing increase almost exactly matches the $1.5 billion deficit projected for 2030. Rolling back to 2012 staffing would close the gap.The SF budget is big... really big. Like bigger than 17 states big! And our per-capita spending is twice that of our peer cities!

Every day that Dean Preston is a supervisor, San Francisco will get worse. We must vote him out as soon as possible.Reason #15 to Dump Dean Preston: Outdoor dining saved countless small businesses during Covid, but Dean tried to kill the program. Dean Preston supported Aaron Peskin's attempt to kill the outdoor dining program by making it illegal to secure the spaces overnight.
- This is fucking crazy. Criminals have no fear of walking into a mall, robbing a jewelry store, and walking out. I predict this will be the next store to leave SF. Our officials are failing to provide the basics for a functioning society. 93 days until we vote. Follow @GrowSF.🚨 Kay Jewelers Robbed Today in SF💎🥷‼️
