Dear friends, After months and months of hard work we're finally at the point of our first hearing for our legislation to establish public financing of elections for the mayor's race. We have been picking up endorsements from a wide cross-segment of the city, showing the broad support for this effort to bring "Voter Owned Elections" to San Francisco. Endorsers include Assemblyman Mark Leno, Public Defender Jeff Adachi, Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi, Tom Ammiano, Gerardo Sandoval, Jake McGoldrick and Chris Daly, Common Cause, SPUR, SEIU Local 790 and United Healthcare West, Sierra Club, numerous Democratic Clubs, Upper Noe Neighbors, Senior Action Network, Green Party, Global Exchange, Asian American Political Coalition, Mexican American Political Association, Cal PIRG, Tenants Union, and many more. See the full list at HYPERLINK "http://voterownedelections.org/listofsupporters.html"http://voterownede lections.org/listofsupporters.html Next Monday, November 14, the Ethics Commission will be discussing whether to extend the public financing that we already have for Board of Supervisors to other races. Please mark the date on your calendar -- WE NEED TO SHOW STRONG COMMUNITY SUPPORT!! What: Hearing for Public Financing of Mayoral Campaigns When: Monday, November 14, 6-7:30 pm Where: Ethics Commission, City Hall, Room 408 If you wish to read more about this legislation, including the text of legislation, main talking points and more, visit HYPERLINK "http://voterownedelections.org/"http://voterownedelections.org/ I really hope you can make this important hearing, part of our ongoing efforts to make San Francisco democracy a showcase for the nation, including instant runoff voting, a watchdog Elections Commission, consolidated elections, and a robust Ethics Commission. Don't forget today to Vote Yes on Props C (Ethics Commission reform) and E (consolidate elections)! Yours, Steven Hill -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
