A Government That Delivers The City Residents Want
Every day feels like Groundhog Day — the same problems repeating, the same promises recycled. To break the cycle, we need to change how San Francisco innovates and delivers for its residents.
This election cycle, break the cycle.
The City We're Building, Together
Our Vision for District 2 and San Francisco
A city that meets the needs of residents because it continuously learns, evolves, and operates as one united organization to deliver clean and safe spaces, reliable infrastructure, strong schools, and thriving neighborhoods.
Trusted & Responsive Government
A city that listens, learns, regularly engages, and acts. We treat residents as stakeholders, work transparently, and continuously improve the experience, block by block.
Clean & Cared-For Communal Spaces
Streets, sidewalks, planter areas, piers, and parks that stay clean, maintained, and visibly cared for. Standards are raised to improve quality of life and show the city cares for its people, animals, and environment.
Safe & Welcoming Environments
Public areas that feel comfortable and inviting: well-lit, well-designed, and free of hazards or fear, so everyone can move through the city with ease and confidence.
Accessible & Reliable Infrastructure
Streets, transit, utilities, and digital systems designed for all ages and abilities, with smooth sidewalks, working curb cuts, and dependable connections. Built as complete systems, not patchwork fixes, so everyone can navigate and thrive.
Nurturing & Inspiring Youth Places
Safe, cared-for schools and youth areas that reflect the pride and potential of the community — where families feel valued, students are supported, and the environment inspires learning, growth, and belonging.
Thriving & Connected Communities
Balanced, connected communities where people and local businesses grow together, creating the mix of places and experiences that sustain daily life.
Rebuilding Trust is Our North Star
With every decision, we ask: “Will this increase trust?”
For too long, the city has failed to deliver on its promises. Many residents feels like the city is being built for someone else, never being included and engaged in the process. Despite a massive budget, delivery is slow, plans are rarely actualized, and what does get delivered tends to be ineffective solutions to problems that persist, year after year. This creates a growing trust deficit between government and residents that must be addressed.
These values will guide every decision, every project, and every interaction:
Inclusion
Everyone has equitable access to services and a voice in decisions, regardless of neighborhood or background.
Openness
Transparent by default, working in the open, and sharing progress — not just final results.
Authenticity
Honest about challenges, genuine in engagement, and accountable for commitments.
Safety
Physical security, data privacy, and environments where everyone feels protected and respected.
Unity
One city working together — breaking down silos and aligning departments around resident needs.
Sustainability
Building a city aligned with resident needs that lasts — avoiding boom-bust cycles and short-term thinking.
Breaking the Cycle of Ineffective Governance
Innovation isn't just what you create, it's how you operate. Before we can fix the problems residents see every day, we have to fix the system that's supposed to solve them. This starts by evolving the role of supervisor so they can effectively deliver a city that meets resident needs.
We'll start by transforming how the D2 Supervisor's Office operates and solves problems — creating a governing body that continuously learns, collaborates, and drives cross-functional delivery to build trust, own outcomes, and change your daily experience.
When we iteratively change how we operate, we iteratively change the city that the operating system produces — the city we experience as residents.
Transformational Leadership
Delivering a city that works requires a leader with experience iteratively transforming organizations to get them to work. We won't get there with performative politics, through legislation, or by passing budgets. We get there with a leader that will take charge and drive the change across governing organizations and departments, while taking responsibility for delivering outcomes that constituents want.
Connector
Connects dots across systems — piecing together relationships between problems, people, and processes to drive solutions.
Transformer
Leading transformational change across policy, process, people, and technology to build organizational capabilities that last.
Innovator
Designs systems to innovate — building processes, technology, and culture that enable continuous problem-solving and improvement.
Learner
Asks questions to gain deeper understanding, continuously improving across people, process, policy, and product to build capabilities.
