An archive of 100-word responses from District 9 supervisorial candidates, on questions probing ideology, policy, and background.
In our “Meet the candidates” series, we are asking every supervisorial hopeful in the November 2024 election one question each week. Candidates are asked to answer questions on policy, ideology, and more in 100 words or less.
That it took so long for City Hall to respond shows the disconnect between District 9 residents and our elected leaders. We should engage in positive and proactive responses to our problems, not wait until they get out of control to address them. That’s why I’ve also put out a plan to reinvigorate our 16th and 24th Street BART Plazas at www.trevor4sf.com.
As Supervisor, I’ll meet with vendors, small businesses, residents and neighbors to evaluate the effectiveness of approaches initiated to date to develop and implement a community-based street vending plan.What I support is limited vending on Mission Street at the 16th and 24th Street BART Plazas, because they add vibrancy, while also opposing street merchants congesting near bus shelters, making it difficult to board or off-load the buses.
From a small reel informing people of a new policy in place, to a podcast-type interview where a public official comes in to explain their plan in a neutral environment. It is important that the people of San Francisco are aware and well-informed about everything that is happening out of City Hall.Voters: Greed is genetic and has many children, of which ‘corruption’ is but one.
The individual and their connections past or present must be held accountable. They should be banned from any further business with the city. I will fight to expose those involved to bring integrity and security to San Franciscans. Transparency is the key to a city government that is accountable to its citizens.Corruption in City government, or by those doing business with the City, is unacceptable. The Board of Supervisors can send a strong message there will be consequences for such conduct.
I have seen how the various oversight bodies that have been implemented within our government have strengthened citizen representation and voice over what happens in this city. It is not perfect — there are still trappings built into some that facilitate corruption, and this is where the reform needs to happen. The idea, however, that what we need is to lessen community and board oversight, and consolidate more power for the mayor as a means for reform should be met with serious concern.
Like me, Supervisor Shamann Walton grew up here and has remained true to his progressive values. I admire how he has delivered for his district and beyond. During COVID, he secured essential resources for residents of his district, District 9 and the entire City. I’m honored to have his endorsement. My true lessons in leadership came during my time in the Army. As a lower enlisted soldier, I was the de facto worker bee for any objective. I had horrible and amazing leadership; both taught me what to do and what not to do as a leader.As an internationally recognized LGBTQ civil rights leader, I worked in red states to protect the transgender community. I know what it takes to build coalitions, have tough conversations, and get real results no matter how tough the fight is.
I’ve worked in a mental health non-profit, a twenty plus year cab driver, ten years as a SFUSD substitute teacher, and a MUNI operator. I am a graduate from UC Berkeley with a degree in Social Welfare. Furthermore, I am uniquely qualified to help others and I am here to offer hope for a better future.Growing up in the Mission and Bernal, I faced the same challenges our young people face.
From something as small as fixing potholes, to creating physical bike lane infrastructure and more visible lighting in our neighborhoods, walking, driving or cycling should not be as stressful as it feels today. My plan is to become the most active chair in the Land Use and Transportation Committee and promote more… must be the top priority. It’s why I support an accountable, responsive, and fully staffed police department, and why I support arresting fentanyl dealers.
