The five candidates seeking to represent District 4 at the Board of Supervisors appeared at a forum on March 4 at the United Irish Cultural Center.

Letter to the Editor: Stop Relitigating the Upper Great Highway
But over time, I’ve seen what this space has become, and it has changed my mind. Every day, people are out there walking, biking, gathering and connecting.

Letter to the Editor: Sunset Dunes a Playground for the Privileged
Sunset Dunes isn’t a park. It’s a monument to privilege and denial, built on the suffering of Sunset families, disabled residents, and endangered wildlife.
Letter to the Editor: Prop. K Divided the Sunset District
What a mess Edgardo left this district. Mayor Lurie is trying, and I believe doing a great job: consistently bringing new businesses and supporting existing ones, supporting the working-class, blue-collar workers.

Letter to the Editor: ADA Access to the ‘Great Hauntway’ Overstated

I was trying to explain to my neighbors, who had no idea why this was important to keep open during the weekdays, why it shouldn’t be closed.
Here we are. I am only glad my children are adults and I am not driving all over the City.
Letter to the Editor: Engardio’s Legacy of Concealment and Betrayal
Through Sept. 16, residents of supervisorial District 4 will continue voting on Proposition A – the recall of Supervisor Joel Engardio. Nearly 11,000 signatures were submitted on the official recall petition, a clear sign of deep dissatisfaction with Engardio.
