Working with her from all six years she became a big sister and i learned so much from her about what it means to be genuine about your work to have so much integrity to be completely honest. She is so fiercely smart and i just again hope i live up to all that she was able to do for sunset district. To my Campaign Team him up i want to thank of course i dont know if theyre still here but marge on the lower my fundraiser and her team. She had a baby during my first election. I couldnt even tell.

Fifth and harrison which much more work to ensure the production of housing means housing for everyone and we look forward to the introduction of legislation and funding that will make that a reality. A piece of housing of course, is the ever present issue of homelessness in San Francisco. Many of my residents live on the streets and as a Public Servant im accountable to everyone whether you live in a penthouse, or you live on our streets, im accountable to you and treating you with dignity and respect. No one wants to see our brothers and sisters living on the street and through the data that we have asked the department of Public Health to collect we realize actually many of them are also our grandmothers and grandfathers and i saw them certainly when i spent a night in our shelter. Our homeless shelter is not growing, but ageing in place. Housing is a part of that answer but we must also address the health and physical and mental well being of our residents. Ive been working to enha

That is not what the data is showing in who is homeless. The majority is over 40 and perm reform our shelter and housing system. I will continue to be an advocate for Public Schools as well stemming from our days on the board of education with many of the colleagues here in this room. Whether its funding to support High School Students not on track to graduate or increasing funding for arts pe and justice programs, the city can and should do more to fund our Public Schools. We must make up for where sacramento has failed. We are 49th in the country and that is not the place that we want to state to be in but we can do
