Editor,
I write to express my gratitude to Supervisor Joel Engardio for spotlighting the critical and often overlooked San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) election slated for March 2024. His commentary, "Shades of Democratic Party Blue," plays a great role in educating the public about the nuances of local politics and the importance of understanding the ideological spectrum within the Democratic Party in San Francisco.
However, I must point out that the list of candidates presented in the commentary, while informative, does not fully represent all those who have thrown their hat into the ring for the upcoming DCCC election. Beyond the "SF Democrats for Change" and "Labor and Working Families" slates, there are independent candidates, including myself, who are also vying for positions within the DCCC. Specifically, there are two independent candidates in AD-17 and one in AD-19 – the district I am proud to be running in.
As an independent candidate in AD-19, I am campaigning on a platform centered around community safety, transportation improvements and health equity. My unique perspective as a physician assistant – the only candidate with a license to practice medicine – equips me with the knowledge and experience to address some of the most pressing health and safety concerns facing our community today.
It is my belief that voters should make their decisions based on the quality and ideals of each individual candidate. Both the slates mentioned and independent candidates like myself offer strong choices. It is essential for voters to be fully and impartially informed of their options to make the most educated choices for their representation on the DCCC.
I encourage our community and the media to embrace a holistic view of the electoral landscape, and proactively ensure that all candidates receive fair and equal coverage. Doing so not only honors our democratic process but also empowers voters to make decisions that genuinely reflect their values and aspirations for San Francisco.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to comprehensive and equitable election coverage.
