BRIAN SAM ADAM

My occupation is Technical Writer.

My qualifications are:

7 years in tech and almost two years with the City and County of San Francisco. I have worked with diverse teams to troubleshoot and solve problems. At the same time, I never forgot my coworkers. When we made improvements, their families, health, and safety were top of mind.

I am the right mix of know-how and energy to bring clarity to District 10. Working in the City, I have seen a lot of good, but I have also learned a lot about its shortcomings. A report in 2008-2009 highlighted the potential corruption and lack of competition from nonprofit organizations working with the City. A 2016 report detailed car break-ins on the Embarcadero and across the City. People were ready to point fingers, not present solutions. A 2020 report highlighted opportunities to reduce crime by moving police to different districts. No cops moved!

A successful supervisor will listen to their constituents and solve problems; help make their neighborhoods greener and more beautiful; make San Francisco thrive — a city you can have a family in! We throw out what does not work. We elevate what does. I will be the one to listen, work hard every day, and bring results.

SHAMANN WALTON

My occupation is President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

My qualifications are:

As the first Black man serving as President of the Board of Supervisors, I’ve fought hard to ensure that our vulnerable neighbors and working families have a voice in City Hall. As your Supervisor, I will continue to deliver resources to improve our neighborhoods and serve every San Franciscan.

I believe everyone deserves a stable income, a clean and safe neighborhood, and an affordable place to live. That’s why I’ve led on tough issues that make a real impact in San Franciscans’ lives. I secured over $20 million for rent relief and affordable housing, led the creation of the Dream Keeper Initiative to reinvest $120 million into our city’s Black community, fought against AAPI hate crimes, and mediated the process to reopen schools during the pandemic.

Born in San Francisco, I grew up in public housing in Bayview and Potrero Hill. I have worked in District 10 for decades, previously serving on the San Francisco Board of Education and as the Executive Director of Young Community Developers.
