Later this year, San Francisco YIMBYs will be making an endorsement, trying to decide who to support in the race to replace David Chiu in the State Assembly. We'll have various candidate meet and greets, potentially host a debate, before making our endorsement! For now...

Meet the Candidate: Bilal Mahmood for Assembly - AD-17

Urban Environmentalists, a chapter of YIMBY Action, is hosting a meet and greet with Bilal Mahmood, a candidate for Assembly District 17. We will be assessing candidates in this race for an endorsement in the near future, and this meeting represents a great opportunity to meet Bilal, learn more about his housing platform, and ask him questions. At this point, Bilal is the only candidate in the race with a housing platform.

Meeting Details:

Date: Wednesday, October 27

Time: 6PM PT

Location: Zoom
