support David Chiu, in his race for the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors 3rd District seat, in the North Beach/Chinatown/Telegraph
Hill/Polk Street/Nob Hill/Barbary Coast/Fisherman's Wharf area. This
is the district that Aaron Peskin, who is terming out, has represented
for the past two terms. Believe it or not, if David wins, he will be
the first Asian American to ever represent Chinatown.
You know that I rarely reach out to my personal network regarding
political campaigns – but I feel very strongly about what David could
do to help San Francisco. I have known David for many years, and
watched him use the skills he gained at Harvard Law School and the
Harvard Kennedy School to make positive change for communities around
him. David has an impressive collection of endorsements – from Mayor
Gavin Newsom to District Attorney Kamala Harris and Supervisor Aaron
Peskin himself. This reflects what an extraordinary person he is, and
what a difference he could make for our city if elected to office.
I support David, and agreed to be a co-host for this event, because I
feel so strongly that his unique voice can create constructive,
positive dialogue we need to keep San Francisco a great city, and a
great community. Please join me on the 17th at to learn more. We'll be
meeting at the Azul Lounge (1 Tillman Place, off Grant between Post
and Sutter) on Tues, June 17th from 6-8pm. It's a great opportunity
for you to meet and talk to David one-on-one.
