DAVID CANEPA

My occupation is San Mateo County Supervisor.

My qualifications are:

David Canepa is running for Congress to fight for us in Washington, just as he has done for us in the Bay Area; particularly in these unprecedented times as the Supreme Court strips away our long-standing freedoms and inflation erodes the middle class.

David comes from a family of immigrants, was born and raised in the S.F. Peninsula and the first in his family to attend college. He has served as mayor and as President of the Board of Supervisors in San Mateo County, where he led the charge to end the COVID pandemic, protecting frontline workers and achieving one of the highest vaccination rates in the country.

David will fight for progressive values by tackling climate change, making the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share so we can invest in the middle class with better wages and more affordable housing.

David will make sure everyone has access to affordable quality health care and will take on pharmaceutical companies to lower the cost of prescription drugs. David will fight to protect a woman’s right to choose and supports equal pay for women.

David is the only candidate rejecting corporate money and running a grassroots-funded campaign.

Our supporters include:

National Nurses United

National Union of Healthcare Workers

Frontline grocery store workers — Union of Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW)

The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME 829)

President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Shamann Walton

San Francisco Supervisor Myrna Melgar

Chair, Board of Equalization Malia Cohen

San Francisco City College Trustee Alan Wong

Former San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos

KEVIN MULLIN

My occupation is Assemblymember Speaker Pro Tempore.

My qualifications are:

Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Senator Scott Wiener, Assemblymember Phil Ting, the California Democratic Party, and over 100 elected and community leaders have endorsed me for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Why? Because they know I have a proven record of results in the State Assembly that has improved the lives of families in this district and will do even more in Congress. In the June Primary Election, I was the top vote-getter for Congressional District 15.

For the last decade in the Assembly, I wrote and passed more than 60 bills into law, including the first law for all vote-by-mail elections and the historic DISCLOSE Act to ban dark money from California campaigns.

I helped deliver over $1 billion for transportation projects and to combat sea level rise and climate change. I’ve successfully pushed for affordable housing, child care, and reproductive rights and freedoms.

I have served as Mayor, Councilmember, and a small business owner in the district. My wife, twin boys, and I live the day-to-day concerns of residents in the district.

With housing out of reach for so many, healthcare, child care, and higher education increasing in cost, you deserve a proven progressive leader who will bring your hopes and concerns to Congress and fight for an economy that works for all of us.

In Congress, I will continue to fight for the future of our democracy and our planet.

Please join Congresswoman Jackie Speier and vote for Kevin Mullin for Congress.
