John —

In our country, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 10 men will experience domestic violence during their lifetime.  Here in San Francisco, we had over 7,000 domestic violence related calls to 911 last year.  Domestic violence is a public health and public safety crisis that has only been exacerbated by the pandemic.  In a city as forward-thinking as ours, we have to do better.

As we highlight this crisis during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I’m continuing my work to protect victims of crime and victims of domestic violence in San Francisco.  I introduced legislation to address the lack of transparency in reporting on domestic violence by requiring the San Francisco Police Department  and the District Attorney’s office to report these critical statistics publicly.  On October 28th, I will be holding a hearing on domestic violence to highlight important findings from the Family Violence Council’s 10th Annual Report, along with my legislation on reporting transparency.

I have dedicated my career as a prosecutor, gun violence prevention advocate, and Supervisor to advocating for victims.  This work is my passion and I won’t quit, even when I’m fighting against entrenched interests.

Please help me continue this work by donating to my campaign today.  Click here to donate $50, $100, $250 or $500.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,
