Why is Pelosi silent on voters’ number one issue?
 
 
 

John,

Before Tuesday’s election, we’re taking stock of voters’ top political issues. For San Franciscans, housing is number one.

So where does Nancy Pelosi stand?

That’s a good question, since she doesn’t have a housing or homelessness platform listed anywhere on her website!

If this isn’t proof Pelosi is out of touch with her constituents, I don’t know what is.

Pelosi owns multiple homes, including a multi-million dollar home in Pacific Heights. Meanwhile, like over two-thirds of San Franciscans, I’m a renter. I’ve also faced housing insecurity after my childhood home was foreclosed upon when I was sixteen.

We need a representative in Congress who understands the issues in our district and has a real plan to solve them. Can you chip in $25 before Tuesday?

There’s a real opportunity for the federal government to help solve San Francisco’s housing crisis—we just need a representative to step up.

Unlike Pelosi, I have a real plan to solve San Francisco’s rising cost of living.

I’ve joined Bernie Sanders in endorsing the Homes Guarantee, which is a plan developed by grassroots activists to end homelessness in the United States once and for all.

I support restoring billions of dollars in funding to the Department of Housing and Urban Development that have been cut since the Reagan era.

I support taking homes off of the speculative market through the revitalization and construction of millions of new public housing units, expansion of community land trusts, as well as a vacancy tax, home flipping tax, estate tax, and other fees to discourage speculation.

I support the expansion of tenants rights, including nationwide rent control, protections for the right to form a tenants union or go on rent strike, and universal right to counsel.

We deserve a representative with real solutions, not a Congressperson who ignores her constituents’ priorities. Your $25 can make a difference today!
