Four years ago, Marjan warned that San Francisco was at a crossroads, and that the choices we were making had enormous consequences.

Unfortunately, the outcome of that election cast in stone the “hands-off” approach to public safety, homelessness, and small-businesses we’ve seen championed by Connie Chan and her allies on the Board of Supervisors. San Francisco and the Richmond District are demanding a change in direction.

“Definitely it is time that, I think, [we] dismantle, restructure our police department.”
- Supervisor Connie Chan

Marjan is running because we need a new direction for San Francisco.

Voters in San Francisco routinely face obscure ballot measures or a host of candidates who appear to be offering the same solutions. Rarely, a moment of clarity arises when a clear choice can be made. This is one of those moments.

It’s time for a leader who listens.

In the past two years, we’ve seen recalls of three members of the School Board (including in the Richmond), two consecutive defeats of progressive District Attorney candidates (including in the Richmond), a defeat of Connie Chan’s ballot initiative (including in the Richmond), and the ousting of a nearby Supervisor who was just as out of touch with his district. The Richmond District is saying loud and clear that it wants a new direction, but our Supervisor keeps doubling-down on the failed status quo.

It’s time your voice was heard in City Hall.

Marjan’s priorities:

  • Fully fund and staff for public safety so that we can walk down the street without being accosted, assaulted, or worse.

  • Close the open-air drug markets by arresting dealers and public users of deadly fentanyl and other hard drugs.

  • Remove tents and dangerous tent encampments from our sidewalks; support the City Attorney in his efforts to overturn the misguided court injunction.

  • Compel the most troubled on our streets to shelter, treatment or conservatorship.

  • Fight for small businesses by protecting store employees from assault, and by streamlining a bureaucracy designed to make opening and running a business impossible.

  • Make the education of our children a priority; oppose misguided initiatives like renaming George Washington High School, or eliminating 8th grade algebra, which distract from this goal.

  • Stop the endless obstruction of both affordable and market-rate housing while continuing to protect tenants so that our kids can find an affordable place to live.

  • Challenge the failed status quo by upending entrenched special interests who oppose change at every turn.

Marjan is the only candidate endorsed by San Francisco Police Officers.

A new direction is possible, but not without your help.
