On the Board of Supervisors, I’ll make impactful, immediate changes. Unlike the other candidates, who represent the 'same old' approach, I offer fresh ideas and solutions. I hold the government accountable, and I think outside the box to solve problems. If elected, I will rattle the Board of Supervisor, forcing them to finally do their job for the people.
It’s time for a new direction. My vision for the city’s future prioritizes education, safety, job creation, and opportunities for all. Visit www.voteforwendy.org as we embark on this new direction. I humbly ask for your vote.- Transparency and accountability are non-negotiable. News after news reveals the deep-rooted corruption in City Hall, eroding public trust and undermining the integrity of our government. We need real accountability—leaders who will ensure that taxpayer dollars are being spent wisely, not lining the pockets of a select few. With transparency, the public can see that their government is working for them, not against them, and that their hard-earned money is being put to good use. It's time to restore faith in our city’s leadership by demanding honesty and responsibility from those in power.
- Law and order: We must enforce all laws currently on the books and ensure that the police are fully funded for necessary training. Before bringing in more rookie police cadets, it only makes sense to focus on providing them with comprehensive and proper training. This way, they can effectively protect the public and themselves without violating anyone's constitutional rights. The Samson Police Unit, composed of highly trained, physically fit officers, will set a new standard for law enforcement in San Francisco, ensuring officers are equipped both physically and mentally to handle the complexities of modern policing with professionalism and accountability.

- True affordable housing can be achieved through my plans to build it on city-owned property, cutting out developers and prioritizing the needs of our community. My approach leverages city resources, union labor, and cost-effective materials to create sustainable housing that benefits San Francisco residents—not outside interests. This is how we ensure real affordability, without the false promises of profit-driven developers. I’d love to explain my plan in detail. Please visit x.com/WendyforD3Supr for more information on how we can make this vision a reality. Together, we can solve San Francisco’s housing crisis.
