Why I Fight for Justice
As your City Attorney since 2021, I have been fighting hard to hold powerful interests accountable and to deliver justice for all San Franciscans.
Under my leadership, my office took on the opioid industry and won, delivering $350 million to address the opioid crisis in San Francisco. We saved Laguna Honda Hospital from closure to ensure California’s largest skilled nursing facility continues to serve our most vulnerable residents. We held corporations accountable for taking advantage of workers, polluting our environment, and defrauding consumers – winning millions of dollars for San Franciscans. We have held landlords accountable for renting dangerous properties to tenants in Bernal Heights, Ingleside, Chinatown, and the Tenderloin. And we have worked hard to root out corruption in city government, holding accountable public officials, city contractors and others who abuse the public trust.
My wife and I chose to live, work and raise our family in San Francisco because of our city’s proud tradition as a national leader in the pursuit for justice. Our San Francisco City Attorney’s Office has established the gold standard for public law offices in that pursuit, and during my tenure, I’m proud our impact has continued to grow.
In my next term, I am committed to furthering the fight for a more accountable and just San Francisco. I will continue to work with city leaders to accelerate progress on the challenges of the day – from public safety and economic revitalization to homelessness and housing – by cutting red tape and reforming city government to work better for all San Franciscans. This is what it’ll take to get San Francisco back on track.
I hope you can join our fight, and would be grateful for your support of my re-election for City Attorney.
