DAVID CAMPOS

My occupation is Criminal Justice Administrator. 

My qualifications are: 

For real change we need to change how we elect our lead­ers. That’s why our campaign is corporate-free — so we will be free to: 

• Raise the minimum wage to a living wage. 

• Make healthcare affordable with Medicare for All. 

• Ensure the entire state does its part on homelessness. 

• Build affordable homes, not just luxury towers. 

• Make billionaires pay their fair share – so working fami­lies pay less. 

• Lower utility bills and create middle class jobs with a Green New Deal. 

• Grow our economy fairly and promote local small businesses. 

• Cut crime by cutting poverty and treating mental illness and substance abuse. 

I came to this country as a Dreamer, crossing the border with my sister on my back. I earned scholarships to Stanford and Harvard Law. I came out to my family. As Supervisor, I won important battles to provide healthcare for all and save St Luke’s Hospital. I fought for equal pay for women, built more affordable housing, passed stronger eviction protec­tions, and fought for fair pay for workers. 

I fought to defeat Donald Trump, protect a woman’s right to choose, and make the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share so we could house the homeless.

MATT HANEY

My occupation is Supervisor, City and County of San Francisco. 

My qualifications are: 

As a San Francisco Supervisor, tenants rights attorney, and educator, I’ve delivered progressive, practical solutions to San Francisco’s toughest challenges. 

I championed guaranteed mental health care for all, 24-hour bathrooms, 5,000+ new housing units in my district, and as Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, I secured record investments in housing, public safety, and small business relief. 

When the pandemic hit, I authored legislation to house 2,000+ people experiencing homelessness, worked shifts at a COVID shelter hotel during a staff shortage, and delivered mass vaccination sites citywide. 

I’m running for State Assembly because we need bold, effec­tive leadership to build more housing, get homeless people off the streets, and confront the crisis of climate change. 

Priorities: 

• Build 100,000 new housing units in San Francisco over 10 years to make housing more affordable for all. 

• Expand supportive housing and mental health care to dramatically reduce street homelessness. 

• Confront climate change with investments in renewable energy and sustainable transit. 

• Support community policing, stop anti-Asian hate crimes, and get guns and fentanyl off the streets with effective consequences. 

• Make huge corporations and CEOs who made billions during the pandemic pay their fair share. 

• Protect LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, and women’s rights. 

Endorsed by dozens of leaders & organizations including: 

• Attorney General Rob Bonta 

• State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond 

• California Professional Firefighters 

• California Environmental Voters 

• California Nurses Association 

• California School Employees Association 

• California Faculty Association 

• California Pediatricians’ Association 

• California Legislative Jewish Caucus 

• SEIU California 

• SEIU United Health Care Workers 

• Chinese American Democratic Club 

• United Democratic Club 

• Noe Valley Democratic Club 

• TL Chinese Rights Association 

• San Francisco Medical Society 

• Asian Pacific Islander Caucus Chair Senator Dr. Richard Pan 

• Progressive Caucus Chair Assemblymember Ash Kalra 

• Housing Committee Chair Assemblymember Buffy Wicks 

• Board of Supervisors President Shamann Walton 

• San Francisco Democratic Party Chair Honey Mahogany 

• Small Business Commission President Sharky Laguana 

• Sheriff Paul Miyamoto 

• Police Commissioner Larry Yee

BILL SHIREMAN

My occupation is Environmental Solutions Entrepreneur. 

My qualifications are: 

A QUICK STORY. 

I’ve spent my life advancing ideals San Franciscans stand for - by bringing together political enemies. It’s how I serve my family and community. 

People say, “good luck with that.” But it works. I wrote California’s CRV recycling law. Expanded Local Conservation Corps that empower at-risk youth. Saved rainforests across the world. 

That’s transformed industries, recycled trillions of cans and millions of computers, empowering people, not big govern­ment or corporations. 

Now I need your help. 

Toxic politics is destroying California. Power brokers horrify progressives with Trump, and conservatives with socialism. While we fight, they auction our $4.5T+ to vested interests, minus commission. 

My opponents are fine people, but they’re being used by power brokers to divide us. 

That gives California the highest poverty rate (18%!), worst-performing schools (43rd), brutal housing costs, uncontrolled smash-grab, homeless tents, jailed addicts. 

My campaign is part of the largest political movement you’ve never heard of. 

BRIDGERS. Common sense problem-solver Democrats, independents, Republicans, running on a transpartisan SOLUTIONS AGENDA: 

SMARTER TAXES. Don’t tax income and jobs. Tax pollution. 

BETTER SCHOOL CHOICES. Traditional, specialized, non­profit charters. 

NEW HOUSING FREEDOMS. End racist zoning and codes. Empower homeowners and tenants to create more housing together. 

EMPOWERED MERCHANTS. Loosen nooses that strangle retailers, shops, restaurants - the heart of healthy neighborhoods. 

STOP EXPLOITING HATE. Techies, workers, blue, red, BIPOC, LGBT and Q. Our differences make us whole - creative, con­nected, and consequential.

We are real. Check us out. 

Stop toxic politics. Support real solutions. We can all win.
