[GPSCC-chat] SF Bike Coalition selecting endorsements - Vote for Jane Kim!

[Ray Tobey]

Hi everybody,

Living on the Peninsula, I've been a member of both the Silicon Valley 
and San Francisco Bike Coalitions. Right now, the SFBC is selecting the 
candidates they'll endorse for the November ballot. This page describes 
the process:

Regardless of where you live, if you're a member you can vote. I'm a 
volunteer for Jane Kim, who is running for District 6 Supervisor. She's 
a former Green Party member, and I'd love it if you would vote for her:

In her work for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, she recently 
argued before the Charter Review Committee of San Mateo that we change 
from at large to district elections for County Supervisors. This change 
would make a huge difference to San Mateo by reducing the necessity to 
run widespread, expensive campaigns in order to be elected. Details are 
here:

This is an example of her work that's relevant outside of SF. If you're 
engaged in San Francisco politics, I can offer other reasons to vote for 
her. Send me an email if you're interested.

If you do cast a ballot for Jane, I'd love to hear it. Thanks,
- Ray
