His platform is for truly affordable housing, liveable wages, Sanctuary City protections, extending Healthy San Francisco to all, environmental justice, and more. Please give your vote to Francisco this November. Please also consider donating to his campaign. If they can raise $50K by 8/24, the mayor's office will contribute double the amount raised. (E.g.: If 2,000 people donate $25 each, totalling $50,000 - the minimum required by the matching program - the City will give an additional $100,000 to the campaign. This means that your $25 will become $75!) Make checks out to "Francisco Herrera for Mayor" and mail to 2467 28th Ave., San Francisco, CA 94116. Pay with credit cards at http://peoplescampaign.net.
