1/ My opponent @JackieFielder_ pledged to reject contributions by police unions. I agree & I have done the same. Yet in the March election, Fielder benefited from campaign funds from the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs Association. That’s a loophole that helped her election effort.
2/ My opponent @JackieFielder_ was featured in mailers/fliers partly funded w $ from Deputy Sheriffs Assoc (law enforcement union).

The Sheriffs donated to Fielder allies (Supervisors Hillary Ronen, Matt Haney, Gordon Mar) who then donated to help fund mailers featuring Fielder:
3/ The Deputy Sheriffs run the SF county jail system & are currently patrolling protesters in Oakland.

The orgs at issue that promoted Fielder & benefited from law enforcement union $ are: Affordable Housing Alliance, San Francisco Tenants Union, League of Pissed Off Voters.

1/We’re at severe risk of mass closure of restaurants, bars & cafes due to social distancing requirements. We can’t let that happen. These businesses play an essential role in our economy & our neighborhoods.

I’m introducing legislation, #SB939, to avoid mass closures. Details:
2/#SB939, in addition to creating a commercial eviction moratorium for businesses & nonprofits, creates space for hospitality businesses to renegotiate rent where capacity has been slashed due to social distancing & the rent no longer corresponds to their mandated business model.
3/If landlords & hospitality businesses aren’t able to renegotiate rent to reflect mandated reduced capacity, #SB939 allows the business to terminate the lease. Otherwise, it’ll be stuck in an unsustainable lease or close down, be sued & the owner driven into personal bankruptcy.

1/No climate plan is credible w/o a meaningful plan to reduce driving.

Electric vehicles aren’t enough.

We must invest in transit & reform land use to allow more housing near transit & jobs.

Bottom line: We gotta make it easier for people to drive less. huffpost.com/entry/the-demo…
2/“US needs to electrify its vehicle fleet & significantly reduce driving by 2030 to keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius. In CA, even a tenfold increase in electric vehicle sales would still require residents to drive 25% fewer miles each yr to reach emissions targets.”
3/To be clear, this transition to a society where people drive less can’t just be about *demanding* that people drive less. We have to make it *possible* for people to do so. That means massive investment in transit, accompanied by significant density increases by jobs & transit.

1/13 A group called “AIDS Healthcare Foundation” - a pariah among #HIV advocates - is a chain pharmacy & insurance company masquerading as a nonprofit.

AHF opposes #PrEP, funds anti-housing NIMBY groups, & uses HIV healthcare funds for politics.

AHF has zero credibility.
2/13 AHF & its bully CEO Michael Weinstein are obsessed with abusing HIV healthcare funds to attack me. They first went after me when, as an SF Supervisor, I stopped them from scamming SF chain store rules to open a pharmacy: suing me & dumping big $ against me in my Senate race.
3/13 AHF/Weinstein are now going after me again, b/c of my housing work. They hired an investigator (thru their anti-housing front group “Housing Is a Human Right”) to dig up dirt & slander me. They’re running TV ads & sending out mailers attacking me for #SB50, #MoreHOMES Act.
