As we proudly mark 20 years of the Central City Democrats, our club reflects with deep gratitude on two decades of dedicated grassroots activism, community building, and championing progressive Democratic values in San Francisco's Districts 5 and 6. Founded to amplify neighborhood voices and push for equity, housing justice, and strong local representation, we've grown into a vibrant force that has consistently mobilized supporters, hosted forums, and shaped outcomes through thoughtful endorsements and collective action. This milestone anniversary is a testament to the enduring commitment of our members and the impact we've made together over the years.

Now, more than ever, it's time to channel that legacy into action for the June 2, 2026 Primary Election. Our club has carefully reviewed candidates and measures, and we're excited to share our official endorsements (attached) — recommendations rooted in alignment with our core principles and proven dedication to our communities. We urge every member, supporter, and progressive voter to get out and vote: review our picks, volunteer for endorsed candidates, spread the word, and make your voice heard at the polls. Your participation will help secure wins that build on our 20-year foundation and advance the future we all want for San Francisco! In solidarity — let's keep the momentum going.

As mainstream media nationally falls under the complete control of billionaires – whether by ownership transfer, extortion, or cowardice – movement media is on the rise in San Francisco and beyond. I haven’t seen anything like it in my three decades in San Francisco. It lays the foundation for exposing billionaire control and winning a better future.

We are witnessing a complete overhaul of how people get their information in this country and in San Francisco.

When I was sworn into office, I promised to deliver real results. In my first year, we did just that.

Seven of my bills were signed into law, strengthening public safety, expanding health care access, and making California more affordable.

My office responded to thousands of constituent requests and helped secure more than $1.2 million in benefits for local families and seniors.

I’m more ready than ever to keep delivering for our communities.
