We share common values as San Franciscans: we help each other; we welcome newcomers; we innovate and learn; we focus on facts; we work together; and we find creative solutions.

I'm a fact-based leader.

I have the ability and the will to lead San Francisco in building more housing. Without it, people like me who grew up in San Francisco, and people who came here for the values we embrace will simply not be able to stay.

Housing insecurity isn't just an abstract point of policy for me. I've lived it.

People coming out of jail need a path back into society: access to a job, a place to live, supportive services. We've seen what happens without it: they commit more crimes and return to jail, which is worse for everyone.

San Francisco needs a Mayor who will make all our neighborhoods safe, a Mayor with a record of standing up for public safety and fighting for the resources we need.

I grew up in a San Francisco very different from what many have experienced: a place called Plaza East, notoriously one of the most dangerous public housing developments in the City.

Subsidizing someone's rent is much cheaper than paying for new housing, police or medical responses, or hospital or jail stays.

There is nothing compassionate or safe about relegating people, particularly those suffering from mental health or addiction issues, to sleep on our streets.

With commitment and the right investments, we can create a San Francisco where no one is forced, relegated, or allowed to sleep on the streets, and where no one endures addiction or mental illness on the streets without supportive and effective services.

All of our students should feel safe and supported when they go to school.

No child should be deprived the opportunity to excel.

Our streets should be inviting and safe so anyone can feel comfortable choosing to ride a bike, walk, or take transit, and so it is clear which space is for which mode of travel.

Technology is rapidly changing our transportation systems, and if we craft smart regulations, these changes can be for the better.

I have been a transportation leader and advocate my entire public career.

Setting San Francisco on a course to sustainability will require all of us to work in concert on a number of ambitious efforts.

We cannot just say there is a homelessness crisis in San Francisco and continue moving at our normal pace.

Our own bureaucracy should not and cannot get in the way of our efforts to get people sheltered.

Bureaucracy and red tape should not delay our efforts to bring help to those in need.

Too many people are suffering from severe behavioral health and substance use issues on our streets, which puts a strain on our hospitals and our criminal justice system instead of treating the root cause.

We have so much work to do to meet the challenges of people living on our streets. But every day we are out there doing the work, finding solutions not only to help those living on our streets, but to prevent more people from ending up there in the future.

It is our responsibility to stand up for equality, fairness, and civil rights.

Our work is not done until everyone is safe and celebrated not just in San Francisco, but also across the country.

San Francisco deserves to be a great bicycling city where every day is Bike to Work Day.
