Hey! I’m Jeremiah I’ve lived in San Francisco for nearly 20 years. I’m an U.S. Army Veteran, Entrepreneur, gig worker, and now I’m trying to become the next supervisor of District 1 (Richmond District) in hopes of bringing back law and order, and prosperity to San Francisco.

I served in the U.S. Army Reserves for nine years, most of that time as a Military Police officer. I’ve run my own marketing firms before and have led sales teams at a variety of start-ups. Currently, I consult on various marketing projects and do gig work while I’m campaigning.

San Francisco is in trouble. The last 4+ years of leadership have gutted our police force and public safety. More than two years of lockdowns, over-regulations, and bad leadership have demolished our small businesses. Bad ideology has led our public schools to be some of the worst in the state.

Connie Chan and London Breed have led San Francisco down the wrong path. It’s time for new leadership and new thinking. I’m the only candidate who opposed defunding the police. I volunteered to recall Chesa Boudin and the School Board members. I started volunteering and attending pro-police, pro-public safety events.

I’ve spent years working with the homeless and know it’s not a housing issue – it’s an addiction issue. If you believe sidewalks should be clear of encampments and addicts, San Francisco should be encouraging treatment instead of enabling addiction.

Police and law enforcement are necessary for a functioning society. Small businesses should be easy to start, run and allowed to thrive without over-regulation. If you agree that your tax dollars should be spent smartly and not funding corrupt nonprofits, and that our public schools should be teaching advanced math and encouraging achievement, then I am your candidate.

Every Richmond District resident deserves to have clean and safe streets, welcoming neighborhoods and great opportunities.

And that’s what I’ve worked to deliver every day I’ve served as your supervisor.

When I was elected, we were coming out of the pandemic and our community was hurting. Special interests and City Hall were focused on Downtown, so I knew I needed to fight hard to make sure our voices were heard and our needs were met.

I went to bat for the Richmond District – pushing the Breed Administration to provide retired police ambassadors and fighting against their devastating cuts to programs for seniors and families. I’ve worked to bring in new police patrols and new technology, traffic safety measures and stepped-up street cleaning. And I’ve fought to protect tenants, small-property owners and small businesses recovering from the pandemic.

I took on City Hall and the Breed Administration because my focus is on District 1 families and neighborhoods.

Early in my career, I was fortunate to work for then-District Attorney Kamala Harris. I learned by watching her, the importance of doing my homework, building coalitions and standing up for our shared values. And those are principles I’ve always kept to as your supervisor.

I’m running for re-election because there is more work to do. We’ve secured 100% affordable housing on Geary Boulevard and new housing at the Alexandria Theatre, but we need to create more housing that’s affordable for working families.

We’ve gotten more retired police ambassadors, but I want to expand our Street Crisis Response teams and patrols as well in order to strengthen safety.

We’ve pushed to cut red tape for small businesses, including District 1 institutions such as Seal Rock Inn, but too many are being threatened by evictions and we need to protect what makes the Richmond special.

We need to make sure City Hall special interests don’t impose their top-down mandates on us; whether that’s poorly planned upzoning or closing the Upper Great Highway.

And most of all, we need an independent voice in District 1. The billionaires and Mayor Breed have chosen their candidate – they’ve spent over $1 million to win this seat for her – but they shouldn’t get another voice in City Hall. Let’s be honest – they have enough sway already.

I will work for you because the Richmond is not for sale.

I’m proud to be endorsed by national and local leaders alike: Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Adam Schiff, Assemblymember Phil Ting and former State Sen. Mark Leno. I’m honored to have the support of a wide range of community and labor organizations including the San Francisco Labor Council, Richmond District Democrats, San Francisco Fire Fighters Local 798, American Federation of Teachers Local 2121, United Educators of San Francisco and the California Nurses Association.

But most of all, I’m deeply humbled by the hundreds of Richmond District residents who have joined this campaign. We know the Richmond is great (it is, after all, ranked as one of the “coolest” neighborhoods in the world) and we are ready to continue to fight to make it even better.

I believe the Richmond District can be a better place to live, work and visit. Working together we can clean our streets, fix our sidewalks and roads, and make the streets safer for our family, friends and neighbors. Please join me, and our neighbors, as we re-prioritize the issues facing our neighborhood and develop a long term plan to address the issues that have been present in the neighborhood, but have been placed aside in favor of other issues.

As a lifelong district resident I have been disappointed in the condition of our neighborhood. Every four years, thousands of dollars are dumped into the campaigns of individuals to print mailers and present flashy TV ads, but sadly none of this helps to fill a single pothole, install a traffic light or clean a street.

The Richmond District needs a supervisor who is willing to take care of the nuts and bolts issues facing our neighborhood:

1. Installing the missing traffic lights along Geary and the other commercial corridors, Clement, California, Balboa and Fulton, so traffic moves efficiently and pedestrians can safely cross the street;

2. Require Recology (garbage company) to set up an on-demand pickup service for large items so they do not end up on the sidewalk;

3. Require Recology to provide locks for all three cans (trash, recycling, compost) to prevent spills on windy days and prevent losses of recyclable materials;

4. Resumption of weekly street cleaning, along with targeted cleaning of problem streets, especially those adjacent to commercial corridors;

5. Installation of pipe to distribute reclaimed water throughout the district for washing cars, sidewalks, trash cans and watering of landscape;

6. Determine the cost of replacing roads, sidewalks, and playgrounds every 10 years and reserve 1/10th of that amount each year, so when year 10 arrives we have the resources in hand to replace these items and do not have to borrow money by issuing costly bonds;

7. I will have a member of my office on the streets reporting problems, graffiti, items on sidewalk, and cleaning issues directly to 311 and/or city departments;

8. We will not permit camping or sleeping on streets, but will provide safe and secure space. We will provide mental, addiction and health services as we transition persons to permanent housing and work;

9. We will not reduce the number of sworn officers or divert funding from the police department, but will demand transparency and accountability within the police department, which includes making officer complaints public;

10. We will have a neighborhood office in the district open daily and staffed. I will hold regular scheduled meetings in the district to keep you updated as to neighborhood and city issues and to receive feedback from residents and businesses as to what city hall needs to do better.

I will strive each day to represent all my neighbors fairly and treat each and every resident, business and organization equally. I want you to believe that government can work for you and make your life better. I have been so lucky to have lived in the Richmond District and believe I have an obligation to leave it in better shape than I found it.

We say we want the influence of outside money out of local elections, but as long as we continue to allow money from outside parties to divide us, the problems we have to face daily will still be here after the election is over. I am the only candidate who has not accepted contributions from unions, corporations, or special interests. I have agreed to limit campaign spending to no more than $2,000.

Join our neighbors and myself as we say with one voice that we want safety and cleaning issues in the neighborhood taken care of first.

As a candidate for the Board of Supervisors, one of my primary goals is to encourage more of us to engage in the civic process. Too often, the decisions shaping our neighborhoods, schools, parks and transportation are made without the full participation of the people these decisions affect most – us, the residents. I’m running for office to help build a neighborhood where we move forward as a unified community.

My family and I have planted our roots in the Richmond District, and we plan to be here for the next 50 years. My husband, Rich, and I are raising our two children – ages 7 and 1½ – in one of the greatest neighborhoods in the world. We’ve worked to connect with our neighbors by hosting block parties, volunteering and organizing community events. These experiences have shown me how much we can accomplish when we come together and take action.

Through this involvement, I’ve identified three critical areas that form the backbone of my platform: Community Safety, Transportation and Health Equity. I’m committed to making real, tangible improvements, such as installing bollards at dangerous intersections and creating protected bike lanes on major thoroughfares to ensure pedestrian and cyclist safety. I will advocate for expanded public transit options and work to streamline Muni services, reducing wait times, particularly in areas that are often overlooked. I will work to ensure stable housing, access to affordable childcare, and food security – all of which are essential to creating a healthy and equitable community. Additionally, I will fight for our public schools, ensuring that all children have access to quality education and the resources they need to succeed.

But this work doesn’t happen in isolation. At the heart of every successful neighborhood is a commitment to civic engagement. And civic participation doesn’t have to mean running for office. It can be as simple as attending a neighborhood meeting, reaching out to your local representatives, or volunteering for a cause that’s close to your heart. It’s about making your voice heard, no matter the size of the issue at hand.

I know many people feel disconnected from local politics. The process can be frustrating, but it’s also where we have the greatest opportunity to make a difference. The decisions being made about our streets, housing, and public spaces directly shape our daily lives. That’s why your involvement – whether through voting or participating in community events – can directly influence the future of our neighborhood.

When I think about civic engagement, I consider the example I want to set for my children. I want them to grow up understanding that standing up for what you believe in is not only a right and a responsibility, but that it is also a privilege. I want them to see that we live in a community where everyone’s voice matters, regardless of their background or experience. Every contribution has value.

You don’t need to be a politician to get involved. Often, it’s the teachers, health care workers, parents, and small business owners who offer the most valuable insights. The more diverse voices we bring into the conversation, the better our solutions will be. That’s the district I’m committed to building: A place where everyone has a say and where our decisions reflect the diverse fabric of our community.

Talking with so many of you during this campaign has reinforced my belief in the power of civic engagement. My hope is that these conversations inspire more people to get involved – whether by voting, attending town halls or stepping up to run for office yourselves. Our community’s strength comes from our shared commitment, and I’m committed to building on that every single day.

This November, I’m asking for your vote as your #1 choice for supervisor, so we can continue working together to move our community forward.

I was born in the Richmond District, where my husband and I are now raising our three kids. I’ve witnessed firsthand the changes in our beloved neighborhood over the years. I love the Richmond for its community spirit and character. It’s no secret that we’ve faced growing challenges – particularly around public safety and support for small businesses.

I have over three decades of experience in national, state and local government. I co-founded the Balboa Village Merchants Association 10 years ago and served as our school’s PTA President for many years. My sister and I ran a pottery studio and gift shop on Balboa Street through the pandemic, and I have continued my support of small businesses and civic engagement in our neighborhood.

I will prioritize public safety by working to fully staff our police department and equip officers with the tools they need to do their jobs effectively. But it’s not just about public safety. We must revitalize our local economy by supporting small businesses. By streamlining the bureaucratic processes that make it difficult for businesses to open and stay afloat, we can ensure our neighborhood remains vibrant and welcoming to everyone.

I’m committed to being available and responsive to your concerns by opening a local District office so neighbors don’t have to go all the way to City Hall. Regular office hours in the Richmond, along with resident-led committees on key issues, will ensure that everyone’s voice is heard.

I’m running for supervisor because I believe we can bring back the safety, prosperity and sense of community that have always made our neighborhood special.

This election will come down to a clear choice – do we continue with the failed policies of our current supervisor, Connie Chan, or do we move in a new direction?

Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Connie Chan has shown us since her election in 2020 that she does not prioritize public safety in our neighborhood.

You may have received glossy mailers from outside independent expenditure committees supporting Connie Chan whose financial support continues to grow in size – upwards of $1.5 million, according to current Department of Ethics filings. Many residents have questioned the accuracy of the claims these mailers, some of which are listed below.

False Claim #1: “Pushing the Board of Supervisors to get smarter on safety.”

We’ve seen the opposite. Thanks to Connie Chan’s anti-public safety views, our neighborhood has experienced fewer neighborhood patrols, and public safety resources have diminished.

False Claim #2: “Secured $75 million for SFPD.”

Connie Chan actually cut the police budget in 2023 but eventually voted for the budget. Our local Richmond Station remains understaffed, and we’ve seen fewer police officers on the streets.

False Claim #2: “Delivered retired Police Ambassadors.”

The Police Ambassador program is so valuable to our neighborhood, but Connie Chan did not deliver that for us. She does not oversee the police department or how they deploy their resources.

False Claim #3: “Delivered more neighborhood patrols.”

Unfortunately, many of us have seen patrols in our neighborhood decrease rather than increase. The police officer shortage combined with the number of calls received every day has caused our foot beats to decrease overall.

We deserve better than the failed policies of the past four years under Supervisor Connie Chan’s watch, and we can do that by sending a clear message in November that the Richmond District wants to move in a new direction.
