Why I'm Running

My platform is built on listening to the community and addressing the real challenges we face every day in the Sunset.


1. Rebuilding Trust, the Sunset Way

I've lived in the Outer Sunset for 26 years. This District raised me as much as I raised my family. I'm not a City Hall insider. I'm not a tech executive. I'm a solo theater performer who spent years listening to real people. I'm a former worker-owner at Other Avenues, a cooperative that only works because people are honest, direct, and accountable to one another. I'm a dad and a husband. I currently work as a campus coordinator at an Independent Progressive School. I make sure repairs are made and children have the care they need --- from providing a bandaid to listening to their stories to developing strong, trusting relationships with students, families and colleagues.


My last solo show, The Big Snap, wasn't just a performance --- it was based on a series of conversations with people across San Francisco, the United States and the world. It is a show about how they survived the pandemic and whether they still had hope for the future. I listened to friends and strangers pour out their fears, grief, wishes and stories of resilience. This experience deeply reminded me how similar we all are, and how desperately people want leaders who actually listen.

If a city government decision affects the Sunset, then it follows that the Sunset gets to see it, question it, and shape it. I'm running because I believe District 4 deserves leadership that's as transparent and as grounded as the neighborhoods themselves --- straightforward, neighborly, and accountable. I don't owe favors to lobbyists, departments, political clubs, or consultants. I owe my accountability to the people who live here: the surfers, the families, the seniors, the small business owners, the artists, the teachers, the working students, and the folks waiting for Muni.

'Trust' is not a one-word slogan. It is a daily practice. I'm here to earn it, the Sunset Way --- listening with honesty, clarity, and with a door that's always open.


2. Sunset Dunes

I'll be honest — I was once an opponent of Sunset Dunes. When I first heard about closing the Great Highway, I thought it was a terrible idea. I worried about traffic. I worried about seniors. I worried about how it might affect our neighborhood., but over time, I've seen the reality — and it’s changed my mind. Local businesses are seeing more foot traffic. And every day, people are out there enjoying the space — walking, biking, gathering, and connecting.

Shortly after my mother-in-law passed away, I attended an Ocean Calling event there where musicians played at sunset and the names of loved ones were called out to the ocean. It was one of the most beautiful, healing, and community-centered experiences I've ever witnessed.

Sunset Dunes has become something special — a place that brings people together and connects us to the natural beauty of our coast. Preserving this space for walking, biking, and enjoying the ocean helps protect the dunes, the wildlife, and the environment that makes the Sunset unique.

Let's build on that. Let's make it a true park for Sunset residents, for all San Franciscans, and for all visitors who want to experience the best of our city — a place where community, creativity, and nature thrive together.


3. Seniors

The past five years have been both extremely difficult and deeply meaningful for my family. My mother-in-law lived with us for fifteen years and was diagnosed with dementia just months the COVID lockdown in 2020. As her condition soon progressed to Alzheimer's, she needed round-the-clock care. We were fortunate that she had savings for my wife to hire Monday - Friday caregivers from a local nursing organization while we worked and were at school, but those funds diminished, as dementia care cost $8,000 - $10,000 each month. Had we wanted to consider a nursing home, my mother-in-law's retirement, however small, still prevented her from qualifying for Medicare, a necessary healthcare option especially for a prospective nursing home patient with Alzheimer's who had only a small collection of months to pay cash before Medicare payments took over. Thankfully, we opted for home care, and my mother-in-law was admitted to home hospice care during her last four months of life, which was extremely supportive for all of us. We were grateful she could pass away peacefully at home, surrounded by family singing 'I'll Fly Away' while she took her last breath.

You can see how complicated this is. We often felt lost and overwhelmed. We had no outside help, and no roadmap for the financial trauma and mental health of our family. So many families are facing this exact situation. They risk losing work, suffering burnout, and are highly vulnerable to potential emotional and financial burdens.

Every person deserves to face the end of life with dignity, and every family deserves real support with their seniors. As District 4 Supervisor, I will make it a top priority for San Francisco — one of the most expensive cities in the country — to provide better resources, financial assistance, and community support for families caring for their elders.

My wife and I had learned firsthand that the system is not working for families who live with their senior parents and who work, especially for families who fall in the middle: too much income to qualify for help, too little to pay for full-time care.

That is why I am proposing a partnership between City College, SF State, and the City: nursing students can receive supervised clinical credit by supporting seniors in their homes. This is not about giving students more work. It is about expanding their training in geriatric and dementia care, two areas where San Francisco has a critical staffing shortage. And, it does not replace existing services — it fills the gaps, the same gaps my own family fell into.

We need solutions that recognize how real families live, age, struggle, and persevere in District 4. This is one of them.


4. Affordability & Housing

Yes, there is a housing shortage.


I believe we should build housing along commerical corridors. With that said, I have lived in the Outer Sunset for 26 years.I have seen neighbors raise families here and do everything they can to stay in San Francisco.But every year, it gets harder.

We continue to hear that if we just build more, things will get better. But how true is this? The new housing that goes up is not always affordable for most families, teachers, or seniors. It's often out of reach and out of touch with what our neighborhoods actually need: Affordable housing without displacement.

We need to focus on keeping people in their homes — not just building new ones that no one around here can afford. That means protecting renters, repairing and preserving current housing, and supporting families who are struggling to hang on.

Affordability isn't just about adding more buildings — it's about making sure people who love this city can actually stay here. It's about not cutting corners and making sure that environmental standards are met.

A vibrant community is one that is built and sustained for all generations.


5. Arts & Safety for a Connected Sunset

In District 4, we know that a neighborhood comes alive when people feel connected and safe -- when they feel pride and ownership of the place they call home. One of the most powerful ways to build that connection is through arts and culture. When there's more art in a community -- murals, performance spaces, music, pop-up galleries, neighborhood festivals, sidewalk poetry -- the neighborhoods become dynamic with positive culture. And, local arts programs connect youth by providing new skills and productive outcomes.


I'm running because I believe safety and community go hand in hand. When a neighborhood is alive with arts, small businesses, and places where people actually know each other, trust grows — and people feel safer. Building this social capital also enhances safety with a strong sense of community. Strong civic participation, from neighborhood events to local arts spaces, brings more eyes on the street and more care for our blocks.

But community alone isn't enough.

We also need consistent, compassionate public safety — including regular police foot patrols that continue to create secure relationships, not distance.

San Francisco is known for its arts-vibrant communities. My goal is a District where trust runs both ways: between neighbors, local institutions, and the people who protect and serve our community. Let's show the vitality of District 4 as we build on a safe and trusting environment.


6. Expanding and Supporting Local Businesses

Our District 4 is not built on corporations and shareholders.


I worked at Other Avenues Cooperative in the Outer Sunset neighborhood for 16 years. During that time, we bought our building. This is one of the major reasons Other Avenues has been in business serving the westside community for over 50 years.

Our small, locally-owned businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods, but too many are struggling with rising rents, high operating costs, and the ongoing threat of closure. When a small business shuts down, the whole neighborhood feels it. We lose jobs, we lose history, and we lose part of what makes this place home.

I am proposing the Cooperative Initiative, a program that helps residents start worker-owned cooperatives and provides rent stability or rent incentives to landlords who partner with these community-serving businesses.

Worker-owned co-ops keep wealth in the neighborhood, create stable jobs, and foster businesses that are deeply invested in the people they serve. They also open doors for residents who want to start a business but who may not have the capital or generational wealth to do it alone. 'Worker-owned' means that all workers or employees of a business have democratic control, or a say in business decisions. Profits and ownership are shared by all workers, and worker co-ops are more resilient to economic shock. Worker-owned cooperatives can prioritize profit, but their core values include contributing to sustainable development of their communities.

Through partnerships with City College, SF State, and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, we can provide practical support — legal structure, accounting help, small business training, access to grants and low-interest loans — so that ordinary residents can launch sustainable, worker-owned enterprises. We can also create a pathway for long-time mom-and-pop shops to transition to worker-ownership instead of closing when the owners retire.

Rent incentives for landlords are not giveaways — they're investments in stability. A vacant storefront earns nothing, while a well-supported cooperative or legacy business brings life, foot traffic, and long-term value to the corridor. This is a win-win: fewer vacancies, stronger local commerce, and businesses that stay rooted in their neighborhoods.

Our neighborhoods deserve an economy that reflects who we are: creative, community-centered, and strong, and invested in each other. By supporting worker-owned cooperatives and helping small businesses stay invested in our community, we're not just protecting our commercial corridors — we’re building a stronger, fairer, and more self-sustaining District 4.
