Campaign themes
2015
Schuffman provided the following statement on his reasons for running in 2015:
| “ |
I believe in San Francisco. I believe in it as a place and as an ideal. I believe in the way the utterance of its name is enough to make people cross continents to move here. I believe in The City’s ability to change the way the rest of the world thinks. And I believe in it as the place where I finally understood the word “home”. Over the past few years I’ve watched as San Francisco has been pulled out from under us and sold to the highest bidder. And I’m fed up and heartbroken. San Francisco is for everyone, not just the wealthy elite, and this is why I’ve decided to run for mayor. I’m running for the grandmothers who’ve been evicted, the artists who’ve been chased out of town, and the working people who’ve lost their homes. I’m running because the world needs San Francisco to be the haven for people who don’t fit in anywhere else. I’m running because community is more important than money and I’m running for you. I love San Francisco and I believe in it. I hope you do too. I’m running for mayor. San Francisco is beyond growing pains, it’s getting stretch marks. And for me, as a writer and chronicler, there’s no better way to see this first hand than throw myself in the middle of it. I plan on exploring San Francisco’s ridiculously crooked political process from an outsider’s perspective. And I need your help to do it. [3] |
