Our endorsement The following Endorsements were voted on by members at the last meeting.

San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee  

The members of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (SFDCCC) create policy resolutions and endorse candidates for local offices. They also register voters. The members are elected from one of two state districts in San Francisco: Assembly District 17 (AD-17) is on the eastern side and Assembly District 19 (AD 19) is on the western side. Our S.F. Supervisor District 11 is split between the two. If you live in Mission Terrace, Oceanview, Ingleside, Lakeside, or Outer Mission you are probably in AD 19. If you live in the Excelsior, you are probably in AD 17. Your primary ballot will only have the option of the assembly district you live in.  If you want to check your state assembly district now, click this link.

Real Estate Transfer Tax Exemption and Office Space Allocation

No Position

MEASURE D

Changes to Local Ethics Laws

Changes to Local  Ethics Laws

No position is the result when any of the options to vote (Yes, No, or No Recommendation) do not rise above 50% required for endorsement. 

No Recommendation

MEASURE E

Police Department  Policies and Procedures

Again, we as the San Francisco District 11 Democratic Club recognize that we need to address public safety in San Francisco, especially in District 11. Changing and updating the San Francisco Police Department’s policies and procedures is necessary to keep everyone in San Francisco safe, but this does leave the question if this would increase police use of force in Black and Brown communities and create greater hardships.

No Recommendation was given due to how split our organization was on the current checks and balances from the Police Commission and how the SFPD creates policies and procedures that help with addressing the public safety crisis in San Francisco. 

NO

MEASURE F

Illegal Substance Dependence Screening and Treatment for Recipients of City Public Assistance 

We as a majority family, multicultural, multiethnic, and working-class organization do not support the policy to screen individuals under the suspicion of drug use. This creates a wider barrier to receiving additional support from the city and hurts marginalized communities who are often targeted historically and framed as drug users. Finally, the goal is to get illegal substance abuse under control, but denying services is not likely to increase illegal drug use on the streets but possibly increase it.

The Club endorsed a NO vote because we do not support adopting these new requirements that are counter to the goal of ending illegal drug use on our streets.

NO

MEASURE G

Offering Algebra 1 to Eighth Graders

We say no to G, but yes to SFUSD 8th grade Algebra as an elective. SFUSD will finalize how to offer Algebra as an elective on February 13, 2024. Let SFUSD with their math focus group of parents and grandparents decide on curriculum, timeline, and how-to's (there are 3 options under evaluation).

This measure, although non-binding, "tracks" students preventing them from taking higher level courses for which they qualify if they do not qualify for Algebra. Teachers would need to be re-assigned out of middle school and replacements brought in.

Bottom line: the politicians could have worked with SFUSD and the SF School Board and instead chose a ballot approach. Do we want politicians to decide our curriculum, subject matter, and books? We think not.
