Ccba president. Dont take that kind of commitment lightly or for granted. Thank you so much. The ed lee democratic club.

A star for San Francisco. We are very excited here today. The first person i want to thank is is the mayor, not just because of her commitment and support, but also i want to thank the mayor for not just her support and partnership in this, but the fact that you challenged us you were the result of a challenge to get a bold leader to take this agency forward.
