Dear John,
It's official — the San Francisco Chronicle has called the race in our favor, and I will be the next Supervisor of District 5.
Nearly one week after Election Day, we continue to hold a steady lead of 52.71% to 47.29% against incumbent Supervisor Dean Preston, who has conceded the race.

When I launched this campaign in January, I did so because of a profound belief that despite the division and challenges our district faces, there is a path forward rooted in our values, unity, and results for residents — a path towards a safe and vibrant District 5 for all.
Today, it’s clear residents are ready for that better tomorrow.
I have reached out to Supervisor Preston to ensure a smooth transition towards that future.
I am thankful to the voters who recognized it's time to get the basics in our city back on track by focusing on results over ideology, consensus over division — by coming together to uplift our communities to return our district to a beacon of hope.

We were up against the odds in this election, but we put in the work and talked to voters every single day and night.
I’m immensely proud of the campaign we ran and grateful to my team, who outworked our opposition by knocking every single door in the district — four times. The success of this campaign is in large part due to their tireless work of connecting with residents across the district on the issues that matter to them the most.
I would also like to express my sincerest gratitude to the supporters, volunteers, donors, friends, and family whose support made this outcome possible.
To celebrate our hard work, I invite you to RSVP here to join us this Friday at 6pm for a celebration in community.
I am honored and humbled to represent all residents in District 5.
Together, we will ensure a future in which our neighbors are housed, our small businesses are thriving, and our streets are safe and clean — a future we can all be proud of.
Thanks to your support, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work for our residents on day 1.
