In San Francisco, 16 people who are fully vaccinated have been hospitalized and none have died.

This is out of the over 3000 who have been hospitalized overall, meaning vaccinated people are about .5% of those hospitalized.
There are absolutely breakthrough cases, and everyone, including vaccinated people have to be careful and vigilant.

But vaccines work. They protect against the virus, and offer very strong protection against severe cases.

Get vaccinated and encourage others to do the same.
This is in a city where over 75% of adults are fully vaccinated. So to have such an under representation of people who are vaccinated among those who are hospitalized is especially notable. #GetVaccinated #GetVaccinatedNow #GetVaxxed

Walking the street with Code Tenderloin and UCSF, canvassing the neighborhood, vaccinating people in 5 min or less.

People ask how we are going to reach the remaining people who still need to be vaccinated...this is how.
This is our "mobile vaccination" team.

Literally walking the street stopping people asking if they are vaccinated yet and vaccinating them within 5 minutes right there. 👏👏👏
It's J&J. One and done.

The Mayor's budget proposal eliminates all 36 public toilets deployed during the pandemic, 25 of which are already gone.

It also eliminates the three 24 hr toilets that existed before the pandemic.

That would devastate access to clean, safe, healthy bathrooms. It can't happen.
These toilets get over 90,000 uses a month currently, even before we reopen. The uses will only go up as more tourists, visitors and workers come back.

This is a no brainer for keeping our city clean and healthy. It's cruel, a violation of people's human dignity and rights.
Last year, when we had all of these toilets still open, they were getting over 140,000 uses a month. The more toilets we have, the more uses there are. The need is huge and obvious. This is important for all San Franciscans, businesses, and visitors. This shouldn't be a fight.

Public bathrooms are not the cause of homelessness.
I authored a law at beginning of the pandemic requiring dozens of new 24 hour bathrooms, including near encampments.

Why because human dignity, human rights, a pandemic, general public health.

Any suggestion that they themselves cause homelessness is sad and ridiculous.
We are going to do everything to make sure these bathrooms remain post pandemic. Because it's common sense. Helps improve health and cleanliness. And because in one of the wealthiest cities in the world everyone should have a place to go.

Last year, we introduced a law to ensure no supportive housing tenant pays more than 30% of their limited income in rent.

Mayor @LondonBreed committed to fund this in her upcoming budget.

A huge victory for our supportive housing tenants, fairness, & justice. @30rightnow
Thank you Mayor Breed for your support and commitment. We made this clear it would be a priority. And to all the supportive housing tenants who came together with us to make this happen.
This will have an immediate impact on thousands of people’s lives who are some of the poorest people in our city. It could make the difference between eating or not eating or accessing critical healthcare or staying in their home for these tenants.

San Francisco has long been a home to startups and innovation. In digital music, biotech, social media, ed tech, software--countless innovative startups have got off the ground here, drawn from and added to the technology ecosystem and talent here, grown and thrived.
These startups have been a huge source of jobs & economic growth in our city, and have created technologies and products that have changed the way we interact across the entire globe. It is something that we should be proud of, and our city has benefitted from.
During the pandemic & before, we’ve seen businesses struggle to stay in the City, including startups, some close or leave, & fundamental changes in structure of work that will have long lasting impacts on our city.

It's been wonderful to see & support so many positive changes in Mission Bay.

Over past 2 years: new parks (w more to come), roads, bike lanes, dozens of new stores on 4th street, some of the city's most vibrant outdoor spaces, multiple affordable housing bldgs, & a new arena.
There's lots of awesome new small businesses on the way on 4th street, a preschool, a new K-5 school in a few years, and a lot more.

Very proud to represent this neighborhood and grateful for all the work put into its positive growth.
4th street especially was largely just vacant storefronts 2 years ago. Now it's becoming a vibrant corridor. We've got activities and mini golf. An OPEN dog park. Many good things happening here.
