Opinion: Take a Deep Breath #SanFrancisco and Vote for a Republican, Even If You've Never Voted Republican in Your Life. Your Lives May Depend On It

I know many San Francisco voters have never voted for a Republican — and that’s completely understandable after nearly 40 years of one-party Democratic rule.

If you’re one of those voters, I’m not asking you to change your party registration. I’m asking you to consider something simpler: vote for the person who will actually make life easier for you and your family.

Here’s why I believe you should vote for me, even if this is your first time supporting a Republican:

I’m a Social Moderate. I support gay marriage and abortion rights. I am not a culture warrior. This race is not about national social issues — it’s about fixing what’s broken in San Francisco.

I Will Fight for Practical Results

More housing so teachers, nurses, and working families can afford to live here.

Real reform on homelessness — we spend up to $300,000 per person per year with terrible results. We need mandatory treatment and accountability.

Safer streets by cracking down on retail theft, open drug dealing, and fentanyl.

Protecting our tech economy instead of driving companies and talent away.

I Offer Real Accountability

After four decades of the same political machine, San Francisco needs an independent voice. I will push for a ban on congressional stock trading and fight against government waste.

I’m Running to Make Life Easier — Not Harder

That’s my simple test for every issue. Too many career politicians in Sacramento and Washington have made life harder for regular San Franciscans through high costs, disorder, and inefficiency.

If you’re tired of the same failed policies and the same excuses, I ask you to consider voting for results over party loyalty this time.

You don’t have to become a Republican. You just have to vote for the candidate who is focused on solving San Francisco’s real problems.

This is your chance to send a message that one-party rule has gone on long enough.

I respectfully ask for your vote on June 2.
