San Francisco City college. I never knew that i would one day grow up and oversee the Free City College program at the department of children, youth, and their families, increasing access to Educational Opportunities for our Community Every day. In this role, i also monitoring the entire budget for the program. My passion for education started at a young age. I grew up in a lowincome household and have experienced firsthand the transformative nature of education both as a student and teacher. But over time, i realized how Education Systems failed our most vulnerable students. As a former legislative aide, i worked on legislation to ban the box on private college applications, making San Francisco the first city in the nation to do so. During this time of a Global Pandemic and a social movement to dismantle systemic racism, city College Needs a new voice and a proven leader in education. My lifes mission has been to ensure institutions are accountable to the people they are built to serve. I am running to make sure city college remains the peoples college. If elected, i will fight to invest in a permanent Emergency Grant Program for students, establish a jobs guarantee program, with clear career path days, and grow free city. I will advocate for increased transparency and further education resources. I would be honored to have your support. Please vote alia chifsky. You and are four your time. Hello. We have a choice of two paths. The road ccsf is traveling is one of financial challenges, instability, and a decrease of 18 in enrollment. I see a second healthier path. With strong experienced guidance, ccsf can gain financial stability, and reengage as an important and diverse institution. Ccsf is in danger of closing, creating a crisis in San Francisco. Ccsf must be saved, but electing the same type of candidates, politicians beholden to stakeholders will result in the same outcomes. I have declined all offers of consideration for endorisment by stakeholders so that i can focus on slufl doing what is right to save ccsf, i will not be beholden to interest groups. Im the only candidate who has raised over 40 million for educational and other causes and will bring creative funding ideas and other opportunities to ccsf. Im the only candidate who has served on a finance committee of a fiscally fit company. I believe that ccsf is a gem that must be preserved. I will be your independent and experienced voice on the board. Thank you, and please vote for me. Im juanita martinez, a family poor in money but rich in family history. My family came from northern mexico. My father was especially proud of his indigenous roots, comanche and navajo. We moved to california when my father was forced to retire. That opened up Higher Education for me because Community College was free in california. I studied at delta college, earned an associates agree. I transferred to s. F. State, and i was often the only student of color in any of my classes. My grassroots activism started in the ethnic strike. We didnt win all of our demands, but ethnic studies is now included and growing in area schools. In 2019, i was invited to speak at the city college ethnic studies teachin during black history month. I told the students that as a former student and Community College teacher and administrator, i was passing the baton onto them in the struggle for social justice. As i finished speaking, i should and could go one more lap on the City College Board of trustees. Im running with the support of students, faculty, and trustees that are just as concerned as i am. Too many classes have been cancelled, outcomes for black and brown students need to be improved. My campaign is not me, its about sharing what i learn frd my work experience, being a student, teacher, and vice chancellor at city college. Its about keeping city college a Community College, a college of and for the community. Hi. Im dr. Vic trolgary.

Education has afforded me opportunities, and i believe that education is a human right. Advancing tuition Free Education allows our most vulnerable students a chance to make a difference in their lives. The Climate Crisis was my call to action. In march, San Francisco voters approved 845 million bond for ccsf infrastructure improvements. Using this deal, my greparty w put the green plan into action. Environmental, financial, and educational sustainability are intertwined. With students as our guide is principle, we will appoint a Community Oriented chancellor who is committed to implementing a Strategic Plan that is interested in sustained eligibility and the sustainability. Now more than ever we must be laser focused on providing transparency on board matters and education for students that have been displaced by covid19.

I know how important it is to have access to quality well funded public education. Community College Classes helped me get back on track when i got sick and had to drop out of high school, allowing me to graduate and enroll at San Francisco state university. This experience inspired me to run for the board of trustees in 2016, when i was elected to a fouryear term. During my last four years serving as your representative on the City College Board, ive worked with students, teachers, and staff to secure important victories for city college. I i ensured that our accreditation was reinstated for the next decade. I worked with if a ultimate to create the cannabis studies program. I helped create the workforce and education fund, and i fought for new resources and policies to support undocumented and lgbtq students. Over the next four years, city college will need to combat severe funding cuts at the state and local level, put in place new support services to help our communities succeed during this challenging covid19 environment, and create workforce programs in areas Like Health Care and technology to meet the needs of our changing economy. I have experience solving challenges like this and hope to continue to bring that experience and leadership to city college.

Thank you. Hi. Im sherman dasilva. We have problems that we face daily when we walk out or door to shop, work, and enjoy the precious neighborhood we call home. On homelessness, it means no camping or sleeping on streets. Instead, we will use cityowned garages to provide a safe, clean, and private space where we can offer Mental Health and he diction offices. On crime and safety, well increase beat officers to deter theft and vandalism, but we will not defund, reduce or reappropriate the number of sworn officers. On pedestrian safety, we will install traffic lights on all major corridors. For accessibility, well have a Neighborhood Department to serve you. For infrastructure, were going to set aside money every year to replace sidewalks, roads, and public buildings. On police accountability, well increase transparency and randomly review officer actions. We want to be independent. It means we will not accept money from unions, corporations, or special interests. Ive seen the decline of our neighborhood happening over time. Refocusing these priorities will make our neighborhood cleaner, safer, and a more enjoyable place to work and live. Im sherman da silva, and im looking forward to being your next Richmond District supervisor. Im a Small Business owner, with my wife, we operate a Small Business on gary boulevard, and we have been serving the community over a decade. Im running because im deeply troubled by the current state of our district. We now have more homenessen campmented, closed businesses, and increased crime. The Richmond District has been neglected by city hall for too long. Its time for new city leadership at city hall. Its time for a supervisor who will put the richmond first. Im the only candidate with extensive civil rights experience needed to effectively represent the Richmond District. First, the richmond and San Francisco more broadly must build more Affordable Housing. Second, i will fight to expand healthy San Francisco so that uninsured middle class residents will receive health care coverage. Additionally, i am the only major candidate in this race to oppose any tax increases swoosh the covid19 during the covid19 pandemic. We should not kick people when were down. Lets first look at our current spending and fight government waste before we increase teaks. We net better environmentally friendly options to help getting citizens to and from the richmond. Thats why im for bringing b. A. R. T. To the richmond. Lastly, our current homeless policies have been ineffective. I support caring for our homeless without turning our neighborhoods and our parks into homeless encampments. I believe my policies will help all residents and help put the richmond first. Hi. My name is marlhausen, and im running for supervisor because for too long, politicians have allowed the problems in our neighborhood to worsen without taking action. We cant afford four more years of this. The devastating effect of the covid19 pandemic has increased the need for new leadership at the board of supervisors. To make a Signif
