If you have a question you'd like to ask local candidates, please join us! At our meeting last month, we endorsed the ComMUNIty Transit Act, a community-led ballot initiative to tax Uber and Lyft to fund Muni. You can find out more about this initiative at https://www.sftransitact.com/ Greens are helping gather signatures to put this on the November ballot, so it will need only 50% support to pass.
