Candidate for
Board of Supervisors; San Francisco County; District 10

I am running for District 10 Supervisor because I want to make a greater and a positive difference in the district in which I was raised. I have lived or worked in District 10 all of my life. Some members of my immediate family have lived in Distict 10 for the past 66 years. I attended Bret Harte Elementary School and Portola Junior High School (presently Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Middle School). I have been an educator in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 38 years. I was employed by the San Francisco Unified School District for 22 years as a paraprofessional, substitute teacher, teacher, counselor, head counselor, assistant principal, and principal. I also had the opportunity to work at every middle school and high school in District 10.

Prior to becoming an educator, I was employed by the US Post Office as a mail carrier in District 10 for 7 years. My experiences as a mail carrier assisted me in gaining more knowledge about the various communities and neighborhoods in this district.

The Board of Supervisors responds to the needs of the people of the City and County of San Francisco, they also establish city policies, adopt ordinances, resolutions, assist in appointing commissions and boards, among many other duties and responsibilities.

District 10 consists of Potrero Hill, Bayview Hunters Point, Visitacion Valley, Silver Terrace, Dogpatch, Little Hollywood and the Portola communities and neighborhoods. District 10 is proud to have the most diverse population and is the largest geographical district in San Francisco.
