Every day that Dean Preston is a supervisor, San Francisco will get worse. We must vote him out as soon as possible.

Votes to recall Chesa Boudin in 2022:

Sorry Supervisor, but your policies created this mess. We need more housing, increased public safety, and great public schools.
Know Your Supervisor, District 9: Hillary Ronen was elected in 2016 by 9,281 votes. She called to defund the police before criticizing SFPD for not doing enough. She opposes all market-rate housing and has kept bike share out of the south Mission.
