While the classes are increasing in size. I want to address the affordable, the city fees are going up and up and up and Small Businesses are priced out of the city and i need to work on that. I also am a sierra club activist. For 15 years working in the green energy field, i am a transit activist as well as well as working on parks. So in the environment i need to tell everyone, that muni is a priority, without muni the city will come to a stand still and it is not working properly right now. Other cities can do transit systems even with snow and terrible weather, and San Francisco cant. We need to fix it. Ive worked in the green jobs area. I have helped push through go solar sf, which has created hundreds of jobs in San Francisco and i need to do more of that for the citizens of San Francisco. I will close with the idea that San Francisco and district five in particular need a hardworking supervisor who has a stable background and a proven track record of making hard decision and get
Watching laborers work for little or no compensation at a young age based on what i witnessed i developed a understanding of economic injustice. Growing up in the 60s my Life Experience has shaped my activism and my desire to promote meaningful change for my community. In 1982 i moved to the bay area and began taking classes at San Francisco state university. Eventually i finished at the California Institute of integral studys. I worked for a number of stockbrokerages in the financial district, and my professional career, and at night, i got more and more engaged in the local activist community advocating for various issues important to me including igbtq and tenant right issues. In 1982 my life was changed forever when my mother was involved in a serious car accident. For the next seven years, her care became my priority. Upon her death, i quit my job and became a Community Organizer at the commission agenda. There, i fought for the rights of low income tenants and immigrants who live
Special, the artists, the students, the young families, the seniors on fixed income, working people and every day people of all strides are having a harder and harder time surviving much less thriving in our city. One of the reasons is that our Economic Development policies are currently much too focused on the big business interest. We need to reorient our citys Development Policies to focus on the 80 percent of the economy which is our Small Businesses or mom and pop shops. San francisco needs to develop more Affordable Housing. The association of bay government says that they need 18,000 new units of housing and we are nowhere close to that. Prop c, something that i encourage you to vote for, but lets go back to the ballot in the years to come and pass an Affordable Housing bond something that San Francisco has not done in close to two decades. We need to improve our Public Schools in San Francisco if we are going to be a family and childfriendly city. Prop 13 has starved our school
Services it all went to other departments such as when the Police Closed down the streets for parades. We need to make sure that money is used for service and not distributed to some other department. I work with the community to improve public safety, through Community Policing and maybe some substations for our areas that we need them in for ourselves just the same way that twitter has. And now is the time to bring ethics and a strong advocate for the people back to city hall. I ask you to vote for me, hope johnson, this november and i thank you for your time. My name is kristine olague is i am the current incumbent for district five. This includes the fillmore, western addition, cathedral hill, japan town, lower pacific heights, lower and upper hate, nopa and coal valley and the neighbors. I am running to serve a full term on the board of supervisors, representing district five because i have long worked to make local government work better for the needs of the neighborhood resident
Mother jones magazine and the new republic and other titles like seven by seven magazine and California Home design, we give the employees a paycheck and i am proud to say and Health Insurance and we are here through the good times and the bad. Larger corporations who swoop in during the booms and disappear during the busts get the kind of benefits that we Small Business owners have never heard of. No one offered me a police station, a tax break or a express bus, quite the opposite. Our business was evicted through the market as a result of doubling and tripling rents. Small business is the economic engine of San Francisco and i will do all that i can to support it and to make it thrive. I also am a mother, raising two boys on hate street and sending them to Public School on public transit. I know we have good schools, but i also know the fear of trying to figure out education, Health Insurance, transportation, and affordable housing, with kids this is a struggle. We face it in the fam
