I've served my hometown in a wide range of ways: as a prosecutor in San Francisco, working alongside then-District Attorney Kamala Harris; General Counsel at the California Department of Justice, again with Kamala Harris; as a non-profit executive serving the youth of Bayview-Hunters Point; as President of the San Francisco Police Commission; as Counsel for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department; and now as the Interim District Attorney of San Francisco.
I live with my husband, Tom Loftus, my mother Maureen Roche, and my three incredible daughters, in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood.- Everyone in San Francisco has the right to feel safe in their community, and I believe that we can maintain our progressive values while still holding people accountable and making San Francisco a safer place to live.
- I'm going to get serious about dealing with the epidemic of car break-ins that have plagued this city.
- We're going to tackle the homelessness crisis and the public safety problems that it brings by getting people with mental health issues off our streets and into care.
