Four years ago, Marjan warned us that San Francisco was at a crossroads,
and that the choices we were making would have enormous consequences.

“Definitely it is time that, I think, [we] dismantle, restructure our police department.”

— Supervisor Connie Chan

The outcome of that razor-close election cast in stone the extreme, “hands-off” approach to public safety, homelessness, and small-businesses we’ve seen championed by Connie Chan and her allies on the Board of Supervisors. But Marjan is still fighting for our neighborhood.

Isn’t it time we had a Supervisor who represented, rather than stood in opposition to, the values held by the voters in her district?

SUPERVISOR CONNIE CHAN’S OUT-OF-TOUCH RECORD

    • Connie Chan opposed the recall of three members of the San Francisco School Board in February, 2022. In contrast to Connie Chan, the Richmond District voted in favor of the recall. These recalled politicians were behind the scrapping of 8th Grade Algebra, the focus on renaming schools during the pandemic, and eliminating merit-based admissions at Lowell High School.

    • Connie Chan voted against Small Businesses by working to ensure that outdoor dining parklets remain "open to everyone overnight" rather than allowing businesses to lock & protect these spaces.

    • Connie Chan opposed the expansion of the beloved Mexican restaurant El Farolito, placing it and others like it in the same category as formula retail chains like McDonald's.

    • Connie Chan blocked the creation of affordable housing at the blighted Alexandra Theater. Enormous outcry on the part of the community has finally generated a response from her office, but the theater has languished far too long.

    • Connie Chan has proudly championed the 25-year legacy of obstructionism in regards to new housing San Francisco, leaving young families and our own children with little hope to remain in the city.

    • Connie Chan wrote and championed November 2022's Measure E, which would have made it harder to build affordable housing. Per the San Francisco Chronicle Editorial Board, "Supervisor Connie Chan, the bill's primary backer, conceded in an endorsement interview that there are "probably not significant differences between SB35 and what we're offering." But that's not entirely true. The bill manages to be both redundant and a step backward." Richmond District voters rejected Connie Chan's measure.

    • To make matters worse, members of the entrenched political machine behind Connie Chan's campaign have launched an expensive series of attack ads intended to scare Richmond District voters into opposing reasonable housing creation with ridiculous claims about overbuilding.
