San Francisco alone has more than 40, while Oakland has at least 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But more than half of California cities and counties haven’t allowed cannabis businesses to operate in their jurisdictions — and taxation and competition from cheaper marijuana on the illegal market has pushed some operators out of business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney’s bill could help address some of those challenges by opening up new opportunities for revenue generation by cannabis sellers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using Amsterdam as a model for San Francisco could be somewhat problematic. While the Netherlands officially “tolerates” personal use of marijuana, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-21/amsterdam-s-mayor-frets-about-sex-drugs-and-tourism\">the mayor of Amsterdam is reportedly tired of tourists on a “moral vacation”\u003c/a> and wants to at least temporarily ban nonresidents from using its pot cafes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney’s office noted that his bill would do nothing to interfere with local law enforcement or other agencies monitoring the operation of these establishments — if they in fact open. If the bill passes the Legislature, the Assemblymember does not know whether Gov. Gavin Newsom would sign it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that the governor, as a small-business owner himself in the past who has been involved in the hospitality industry, can now see this as an opportunity,” Haney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But she also risks alienating some of her constituents who are likely to consider Dorsey’s police affiliation a liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The location of the swearing-in ceremony — the \u003ca href=\"http://www.delanceystreetfoundation.org/\">Delancey Street Foundation\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that provides rehabilitation services and vocational training programs for formerly incarcerated people and those recovering from substance use disorder — was chosen to acknowledge Dorsey’s own recovery experience, and as a symbol of his intent to address the city’s overdose crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s appointment of Dorsey also sets the stage for a battle over the seat in November, when Haney’s preferred choice, and his former chief of staff, Honey Mahogany, is expected to run for the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s Natalia Navarro sat down with KQED Politics and Government Editor Scott Shafer, who attended Monday’s swearing-in ceremony, to discuss what Dorsey’s appointment means for San Francisco’s District 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NATALIA NAVARRO: \u003cspan data-pm-slice='1 1 [\"paragraph-wrapper\",null,\"paragraph\",{\"id\":\"p0-0\"}]'>Scott, the swearing-in took place at Delancey Street on the Embarcadero, which is well known as a substance abuse recovery program for people who leave prison.

Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, John Burton — you could go on and on about all the people who have held press conferences there on Election Night. And it’s also very symbolic. Matt Dorsey, who is the new supervisor, has struggled with addiction. He calls himself a three-time graduate of recovery programs, and he’s had lapses as recently as a couple of years ago. And he talked about that. One other thing about Dorsey is he’s openly gay, he’s HIV-positive. And I think those are kind of real-life experiences that may have appealed to the mayor.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I mentioned that Dorsey is transitioning now from director of strategic communications for the Police Department to becoming a city supervisor, which is bringing a lot of criticism from progressives.

You know, in fairness, that’s what PR departments do in agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other aspects to Dorsey’s experience. He worked 14 years in the City Attorney’s Office as communications head. So I think he does know the city well. He’s an operative in government and politics and campaigns. But yeah, that Police Department role does rub some people the wrong way for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Should we expect crime and policing to play a bigger role in the upcoming election for the seat?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan data-pm-slice='1 1 [\"paragraph-wrapper\",null,\"paragraph\",{\"id\":\"p7-0\"}]'>Yeah, it is already a big issue everywhere in the city. We have the recall of the district attorney, Chesa Boudin, on the ballot in June. I talked to Mayor Breed about that and why she chose Matt Dorsey.

Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, John Burton — you could go on and on about all the people who have held press conferences there on Election Night. And it’s also very symbolic. Matt Dorsey, who is the new supervisor, has struggled with addiction. He calls himself a three-time graduate of recovery programs, and he’s had lapses as recently as a couple of years ago. And he talked about that. One other thing about Dorsey is he’s openly gay, he’s HIV-positive. And I think those are kind of real-life experiences that may have appealed to the mayor.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I mentioned that Dorsey is transitioning now from director of strategic communications for the Police Department to becoming a city supervisor, which is bringing a lot of criticism from progressives.

But she also runs the risk of alienating constituents who will see Dorsey’s relationship with the SFPD as a liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, including Assemblymember Haney, were hoping Breed would appoint Honey Mahogany to lead District 6. Mahogany served as Haney’s chief of staff and would have been the first transgender member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I do understand why she would want to appoint someone maybe that was closer to her,” Mahogany told KQED. “But I think that the residents of District 6 actually need someone who knows what they’re doing, who has experience\u003ci>.” \u003c/i>She cited her work in Haney’s office on behalf of issues including public safety and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment of Dorsey sets up an electoral conflict for November with Mahogany. But as some have noted, \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2022/05/sources-mayor-to-tap-matt-dorsey-for-d6-supervisor-triggering-high-stakes-political-brawl/\">it may also serve as a proxy battle\u003c/a> between Mayor Breed and the newly elected Haney, backing Dorsey and Mahogany, respectively, at a time when Breed is gearing up for her own election. Breed appears to be banking on the electorate’s mood shifting to favor a candidate with strong ties to the police, like Dorsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey, who has experienced decades of substance use disorder and recovery, hopes to use that experience in his new position.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Honey Mahogany, District 6 supervisor candidate\"]‘I think that the residents of District 6 actually need someone who knows what they’re doing, who has experience.’[/pullquote]“I’ve been open about being in recovery before, but I never thought to be this open about it,” Dorsey told KQED. “But at this moment with the public health crisis that we have, I hope I can make a difference,” he said, referring to the relentless numbers of overdose deaths on city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco recorded 640 accidental overdose deaths in 2021, \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2021-05/2021%2005_OCME%20Overdose%20Report.pdf\">according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner\u003c/a>. Roughly 20% of those deaths were in the South of Market neighborhood, which Dorsey will now represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey sees a direct connection between rampant open-air drug dealing, addiction and overdose deaths in San Francisco and some of its other most vexing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think when you consider things like homelessness and street conditions and theft and recent auto burglaries, a lot of this stuff, if we can make progress on drug use, getting more people into recovery, I think we’ll see progress on a lot of things. I’m optimistic about what we can do,” Dorsey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not well known to the general public, Dorsey has been a fixture in San Francisco politics, campaigns and government for decades. He spent four years on the San Francisco Democratic Party board. After 14 years as press secretary to City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Dorsey became a partner in a local communications company. He returned to the public sector in 2020 to head the SFPD’s strategic communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment of a former SFPD staffer comes at a time of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906253/violent-crime-soared-during-the-pandemic-but-does-the-political-debate-reflect-the-data\">rising fear of crime in San Francisco\u003c/a>, leading to contentious debates over whether increased policing is needed in the city. And from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11897148/rash-of-organized-weekend-robberies-target-luxury-stores-across-the-bay-area\">smash-and-grab robberies at luxury stores in Union Square\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/elderly-asian-woman-beats-up-man-attacking-her-in-san-francisco/\">to high-profile attacks against members of the Asian American community\u003c/a>, that debate is taking place in neighborhoods Dorsey will represent, including downtown, South of Market and Mission Bay.[aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]“There’s obviously some concern around Mr. Dorsey and some of his work for the police,” said former San Francisco Police Commissioner John Hamasaki. Hamasaki referred specifically to a public relations campaign to discredit District Attorney Chesa Boudin while Boudin’s office was prosecuting a police officer for excessive use of force. The SFPD alleged that Boudin’s office had violated a memorandum of understanding between the police and the DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamasaki, who is a critic of the SFPD, said “it created this aura that the district attorney was cheating in this case. But the facts that it was based on were misrepresented. It called into question, you know, what the police were doing with their taxpayer money and the resources in the media unit, and then also how that ultimately affected the trial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who worked with Dorsey in the City Attorney’s office is state Sen. Scott Wiener, who called Dorsey “a rock-solid choice” for the job. Wiener, who like Dorsey went to the Board of Supervisors from the City Attorney’s office, said it’s useful experience for a supervisor to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can say that being in the City Attorney’s Office, you see how city government works and how it’s not working,” Wiener said. “You’re involved in every aspect of city government, and you truly see the good, the bad and the ugly. So Matt is not going to need a huge education in terms of how the different departments are functioning and what needs to be done better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who said San Francisco must do more to address the lack of affordable housing in the city, said he’ll bring his own experiences as a resident to help prioritize the issues he’ll emphasize. “I choose not to own a car. I commute generally by Bikeshare. I am a renter, so I think transportation will be important,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who also is HIV-positive, sees a resemblance to the city’s drug problems with the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and ’90s. “The stigma of who is dying is masking the horror of how many are dying,” Dorsey said. “And as somebody who remembers what those days were like, I just keep thinking that this is where a voice from this recovery community is needed.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, Dorsey is a staunch defender of the SFPD, saying that under Chief Bill Scott the police department has made tremendous strides implementing reforms that have reduced unlawful use of force and policies and practices that landed the previous police chief in hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">t is a better police department than people think it is,” Dorsey said, adding that the rank-and-file officers don’t get the credit other first responders have gotten during the pandemic. “They were making a lot of the same sacrifices that nurses and firefighters and EMTs and others were — just not being appreciated.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just last week, Dorsey’s future colleagues, led by Supervisor Dean Preston, criticized the media relations job Dorsey’s office is doing, saying the SFPD was highlighting information that made the police look good with the goal of getting more city funding, while underplaying persistent problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to understand to what extent taxpayer funds are being used to help shape media and public narrative on these controversial issues,” Preston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston’s comment came at a meeting of the Government Audit and Oversight Committee that he called to explore issues related to the SFPD’s communications operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Bill Scott has often sparred with District Attorney Chesa Boudin, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11913102\">who is facing a recall election\u003c/a>. Asked whether he supports Proposition H, the June 7 measure to recall Boudin, Dorsey hedged, saying he is “authentically undecided,” adding that “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have some complicated issues around my [SFPD] department’s relationship with the district attorney. And, we’ll see.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m going to give some thought to it and pray on it and talk to the DA and talk to some others and hear from my residents,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Dorsey’s opponents are already gearing up to face him in his first election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, who said “I have nothing bad to say about Matt,” noted that Mahogany was better suited to represent the district given her experience dealing with issues like affordable housing, homelessness and public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1523544352949039106\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Dorsey] writes press releases for the police and for a lobbying firm,” he said. “That’s very different than someone who has been in the trenches working to keep a community safe, to build housing. I think that’s the kind of person that we need in office.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahogany, who is transgender, will run for the seat in November, setting up a lively debate over who can best represent the district. She seemed to take Breed’s decision in stride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that [the voters] are going to definitely see the depth of my experience. And you know, I think they’ll make the right decision in November,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But she also runs the risk of alienating constituents who will see Dorsey’s relationship with the SFPD as a liability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others, including Assemblymember Haney, were hoping Breed would appoint Honey Mahogany to lead District 6. Mahogany served as Haney’s chief of staff and would have been the first transgender member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>I do understand why she would want to appoint someone maybe that was closer to her,” Mahogany told KQED. “But I think that the residents of District 6 actually need someone who knows what they’re doing, who has experience\u003ci>.” \u003c/i>She cited her work in Haney’s office on behalf of issues including public safety and homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The appointment of Dorsey sets up an electoral conflict for November with Mahogany. But as some have noted, \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2022/05/sources-mayor-to-tap-matt-dorsey-for-d6-supervisor-triggering-high-stakes-political-brawl/\">it may also serve as a proxy battle\u003c/a> between Mayor Breed and the newly elected Haney, backing Dorsey and Mahogany, respectively, at a time when Breed is gearing up for her own election. Breed appears to be banking on the electorate’s mood shifting to favor a candidate with strong ties to the police, like Dorsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorsey, who has experienced decades of substance use disorder and recovery, hopes to use that experience in his new position.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m optimistic about what we can do,” Dorsey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While not well known to the general public, Dorsey has been a fixture in San Francisco politics, campaigns and government for decades. He spent four years on the San Francisco Democratic Party board. After 14 years as press secretary to City Attorney Dennis Herrera, Dorsey became a partner in a local communications company.

Hamasaki referred specifically to a public relations campaign to discredit District Attorney Chesa Boudin while Boudin’s office was prosecuting a police officer for excessive use of force. The SFPD alleged that Boudin’s office had violated a memorandum of understanding between the police and the DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamasaki, who is a critic of the SFPD, said “it created this aura that the district attorney was cheating in this case. But the facts that it was based on were misrepresented. It called into question, you know, what the police were doing with their taxpayer money and the resources in the media unit, and then also how that ultimately affected the trial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those who worked with Dorsey in the City Attorney’s office is state Sen. Scott Wiener, who called Dorsey “a rock-solid choice” for the job. Wiener, who like Dorsey went to the Board of Supervisors from the City Attorney’s office, said it’s useful experience for a supervisor to have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can say that being in the City Attorney’s Office, you see how city government works and how it’s not working,” Wiener said. “You’re involved in every aspect of city government, and you truly see the good, the bad and the ugly. So Matt is not going to need a huge education in terms of how the different departments are functioning and what needs to be done better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who said San Francisco must do more to address the lack of affordable housing in the city, said he’ll bring his own experiences as a resident to help prioritize the issues he’ll emphasize. “I choose not to own a car. I commute generally by Bikeshare. I am a renter, so I think transportation will be important,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dorsey, who also is HIV-positive, sees a resemblance to the city’s drug problems with the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and ’90s. “The stigma of who is dying is masking the horror of how many are dying,” Dorsey said. “And as somebody who remembers what those days were like, I just keep thinking that this is where a voice from this recovery community is needed.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, Dorsey is a staunch defender of the SFPD, saying that under Chief Bill Scott the police department has made tremendous strides implementing reforms that have reduced unlawful use of force and policies and practices that landed the previous police chief in hot water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">t is a better police department than people think it is,” Dorsey said, adding that the rank-and-file officers don’t get the credit other first responders have gotten during the pandemic. “They were making a lot of the same sacrifices that nurses and firefighters and EMTs and others were — just not being appreciated.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just last week, Dorsey’s future colleagues, led by Supervisor Dean Preston, criticized the media relations job Dorsey’s office is doing, saying the SFPD was highlighting information that made the police look good with the goal of getting more city funding, while underplaying persistent problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to understand to what extent taxpayer funds are being used to help shape media and public narrative on these controversial issues,” Preston said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preston’s comment came at a meeting of the Government Audit and Oversight Committee that he called to explore issues related to the SFPD’s communications operation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police Chief Bill Scott has often sparred with District Attorney Chesa Boudin, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11913102\">who is facing a recall election\u003c/a>. Asked whether he supports Proposition H, the June 7 measure to recall Boudin, Dorsey hedged, saying he is “authentically undecided,” adding that “\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have some complicated issues around my [SFPD] department’s relationship with the district attorney. And, we’ll see.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m going to give some thought to it and pray on it and talk to the DA and talk to some others and hear from my residents,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Dorsey’s opponents are already gearing up to face him in his first election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, who said “I have nothing bad to say about Matt,” noted that Mahogany was better suited to represent the district given her experience dealing with issues like affordable housing, homelessness and public safety.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

John Arntz, director of the Department of Elections, told KQED the count would continue after Election Day to allow for late ballots. But the first ballot count Tuesday night would encompass nearly all the mailed ballots before Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Election Day, turnout ticked up to 23% of total eligible voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That low turnout defied an avalanche of spending: Independent spending on the race topped $1.7 million from PACs supporting Haney and pushing against Campos. Campos and Haney’s direct campaign spending has been mostly even, with each spending roughly $700,000 between January and April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney made a point of saying he was running a campaign with a more positive tone than Campos’s campaign, the independent campaigns took the more negative road for him. One PAC opposing Campos, funded principally by the California Association of Realtors, \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2022/04/12/new-mailers-from-pro-haney-pac-attack-campos-for-working-for-chesa-boudin/\">sent mailers to voters claiming\u003c/a> “we’re suffering with Chesa Boudin and David Campos in charge,” and that Campos and Boudin have “left victims of domestic violence behind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Democratic candidates are self-billed progressives who have promised to represent the interests of renters both in San Francisco and across the state. Haney’s victory Tuesday will see him serve the term David Chiu left when he stepped down in October to become San Francisco city attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GuyMarzorati/status/1516630691890360321\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite an often contentious campaign, Haney and Campos largely aligned on most statewide issues, from supporting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed CARE Court, which would compel services for some mentally ill people who refuse care, and are opposed to bringing back to voters Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform that’s come under increased scrutiny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the first ballots were counted, Assemblymember Phil Ting said he was excited to see another progressive San Franciscan colleague in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"Medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Honey Mahogany, legislative aide to Supervisor Matt Haney\"]‘Supervisor Haney is actually the drag daughter of Juanita MORE!.

We’re lucky to have amazing constituents who expect us to try new things and challenge other parts of the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many San Francisco voters, however, housing has become a dividing line between the two candidates. In a bid to drive down the city’s sky-high rents, Haney has consistently advocated for an increase in overall housing construction, while Campos has pushed to prioritize affordable developments over anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11911625\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11911625\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1.jpg\" alt=\"David Campos as seen from the waist up, hands outstretched, in a suit, speaking to supporters in front of a mural in a bar.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/Image-from-iOS-57-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former San Francisco Supervisor David Campos delivers a concession speech to his supporters at the El Rio bar on election night, April 19, 2022. \u003ccite>(Guy Marzorati/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That split is evident in the number of new homes that were approved each year in the districts that Haney and Campos represented during their tenure as city supervisors.

Campos and Haney’s direct campaign spending has been mostly even, with each spending roughly $700,000 between January and April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney made a point of saying he was running a campaign with a more positive tone than Campos’s campaign, the independent campaigns took the more negative road for him.

You both support it. But let’s talk about that. There was a bill, AB 1400, by Assemblymember Ash Kalra down in the South Bay \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11903440/single-payer-health-care-faces-uphill-battle-in-state-legislature\">to move forward with single-payer health care\u003c/a>. It didn’t even come up for a vote in the committee that it was in.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would you, if you had been on that committee or if that had been your bill, would you have forced a vote? Would you have forced the members to vote even though you knew you didn’t have the votes? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CAMPOS\u003c/strong>: Let me say I respect [Assemblymember] Ash Kalra, I think that he should be commended for the work that he has done, but I respectfully and strongly disagree with his decision to not have a vote. And I think that illustrates the problem, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That in some respects, that decision was driven by the fact that maybe they didn’t want to put their colleagues on the spot, the very colleagues that promised to their constituents that they would vote for Medicare for All. You have politicians running for office that say the right things, but take money from the people that are against the very things they’re promising. And when they get elected, you know what happens? They vote for their pockets, not for the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Ash_Kalra/status/1488327145113874436\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>So if you were to go up to Sacramento, Matt, are you saying, “I’ll get it done, I will get single-payer done”? And how? Why you? This has been voted on up in Sacramento for about 20 years. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: Well, Ash Kalra is the author of the bill, he’s been the biggest champion for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11902591/why-do-so-many-doctors-oppose-single-payer-health-care\">Medicare for All\u003c/a>, and he’s given me his sole endorsement. He believes that I can go up and support him and make sure we get it done next time. I also have the support of the California Nurses Association, who sponsored the bill. And so the reality is that we need to build a broad-based movement all up and down our state and take on the big interests and get this done. We need single-payer. The reality is, we cannot rely on a health care system that relies on profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can build the coalition that can actually move this. And that’s why the author of the bill wants me up there as his partner to actually get this done next time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>I want to ask you both to address what critics say about you, and we’ll start with you, David. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You know, a lot of people say, you know, smart guy, good guy. Too ideological, not practical enough, alienates people by not compromising enough. They mentioned single-payer, blaming Sacramento politicians for not getting it passed. Those are the people you’re going to have to work with if you go up there. So how do you address that criticism that you’re more interested in the ideology of things than the practical side of how things work? \u003c/strong>[aside postID=\"news_11909759\" hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/camposhaney-3-1020x661.jpg']\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, I address it by pointing to the things that I accomplished in San Francisco, not only closing the loophole to, meant to make health care universal in San Francisco, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/green-public-power-for-san-francisco-clears-major-hurdle/\">passing CleanPowerSF, 100% renewable energy\u003c/a>, passing the legacy business program, protecting our sanctuary policy, things that require supermajorities of the Legislature here in the city that passed because of me. I think the reason why someone like Toni Atkins, who is the president pro tem of the state Senate, is supporting me, is because she has seen my ability to bring people together. The fact that you try to be collegial and work with people doesn’t mean that you stand, that you don’t stand on principle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Matt Haney, critics of you might say that you’re more of a show horse. Not so much of a workhorse, as David Campos points out. I don’t know if any of your colleagues on the Board of Supervisors are endorsing you. Six are endorsing him. You’re quick to put out a press release, quick to go to a press conference. Maybe not so quick to roll up your sleeves and get hard work done. What’s your response to that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: Well, you know, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909759/haney-campos-laws\">there’s been analyses of this even done by KQED\u003c/a> that show that I authored and passed more legislation than all but one of my colleagues. I’ve been very effective on the Board of Supervisors in delivering. Passed some of the biggest, most landmark policies over the last number of years, including co-authoring Mental Health [Association of] SF guaranteeing a right to mental health care in our city, building more housing in my district by far than any other, delivering the big and the small things. Creating a new Department of Sanitation, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding for affordable housing. These are results. I represent a very tough district and I have delivered on these big issues. And the reality is I have the support of three of my colleagues plus me. So I have four and he has six. So it’s not that big of a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b>\u003cstrong> Let’s move to another issue. A big one for this district is rent, rent control, renters’ rights. Just yesterday, the Legislature passed a bill that would extend renter protections through June 30. It was going to expire today for those who had already applied for rent help. But it also undermined local moratoriums on evictions in San Francisco and in Los Angeles. [State Senator] Scott Wiener and [Assemblymember] Phil Ting, two of the representatives from San Francisco, both voted against it. They were two of the very few. How would you have voted on that bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Scott_Wiener/status/1508553969777328135\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: I would have followed the lead of these two representatives. I think Scott Wiener and Phil Ting are right. I think that we need to protect renters. And I think the reason why Phil Ting is endorsing me in this campaign is because he knows my commitment. And to renters in this race, there is a very clear choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b> \u003cstrong>Matt, I know you’re backed by the YIMBYs [Yes in My Backyard], you’re backed by the builders as well, some of those unions. But how would you have voted on that bill? \u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Would you have done what David just said [you would do] and just not voted no?\u003c/b>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I would not have supported that. I would have voted no. I’m the only renter in this race. If you look at Sacramento and you look at representation, about half of households in California, more than half in San Francisco are renters. Yet less than 2%, there are only two out of 120 of our legislators are renters. I would be the third. I live in rent-controlled housing. I’ve defended people in court who are facing evictions. I’ve been a strong champion for and passed just-cause eviction protections for renters here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, the reality is that if you look at Supervisor Haney’s record, it has changed. You know, the amount Haney of a year ago had, that record had all these pro-tenant organizations supporting him. We supported him for supervisor. And what happened is that the moment he decided to run for Assembly, those positions change. He became the person who ran against a YIMBY candidate to now becoming the NIMBY candidate. And what changed, quite frankly, and the voters can decide for themselves, a lot of money has been going to his campaign. Hundreds of thousands of dollars from realtors, from developers, and that position has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I’ve been a tenant champion my entire career, defended people in court. I’ve done that repeatedly. I fought for tenants’ rights and delivered. We extended eviction protections. I authored the law to every tenant in San Francisco and my position on tenants’ rights has not changed. I’ve been consistent. I’ve also been consistently pro-housing, building more housing in my district than any other, including a lot more affordable and supportive housing. And that’s a big reason why I’m running. He’s been against housing, so yes, his position has been consistent. It’s been consistent against housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Let me just ask a specific question about that, because when you [David Campos] were on the Board of Supervisors, you promoted \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10736006/s-f-proposition-i-missions-future-central-issue-in-moratorium-vote\">a moratorium on building in the Mission District\u003c/a>, one of the neighborhoods you represented. And that was a time we needed more housing. So looking back on that, was that the right thing to do?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, as I’ve indicated, you know, I supported that in response to community concerns for the same reason, by the way, then-Supervisor London Breed at the time supported it. And it’s interesting because, again, I’ve said no. That I’ve learned from that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what’s interesting here, right, is that Supervisor Haney is attacking me for that very position, even though he himself took that position. But I want to be very clear about housing. The fact that I have said that I am for affordable housing does not make me anti-housing. What the YIMBYs want is to simply give a blank check to developers and to let them build whatever they want. And those of us who want to keep working people and middle-income people in San Francisco are simply saying, yes, we should build all kinds of housing, but we must build housing that is actually affordable for the teachers, for the people who clean our houses, who work at our coffee shops. That’s what I believe. Being for affordable housing, being against simply giving developers a blank check, it’s not against housing, it’s pro-affordable housing. There’s a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: Q\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>uick response.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I’ll put my track record in building affordable housing up against his any day. We are building thousands and thousand of units of affordable housing in my district. Many more than he did during his time. And the reality is we need housing of all types. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Why-did-S-F-supervisors-vote-against-a-project-16569809.php\">Projects like the 469 Stevenson Project\u003c/a>, 24% affordable, thousand-plus union jobs, 500 units of housing near transit. We need projects like that. I was for it. He was against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER\u003c/b>: \u003cstrong>A lot of issues around homelessness, as we know in the city. You made a proposal to have these safe injection sites in every county. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Absolutely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>How are you going to convince somebody in, you know, Trinity County or any other red county, Shasta County, to put in an injection site?\u003c/strong>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"matt-haney\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, I think that’s the point is being able to work with people, and some of the measures that I passed successfully, whether it’s protecting universal health care, the sanctuary policy, we worked with, with communities in the different districts to convince those representatives that doing that was in the right. What’s in the interest of their constituents. What I’m saying is that San Francisco, in many respects, has carried too much of the burden when it comes to homelessness and that other jurisdictions need to step in. And that’s why I think that it is fair for us to ask other jurisdictions to do the same now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: Every city and county across the state has to do their share, and they’re not right now. They need to have a plan of how many shelter beds they’re going to have, supportive housing they’re going to build, and there has to be an actual plan for accountability and consequences if they didn’t do or don’t do their part. We can’t solve homelessness just in San Francisco or just in one neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s going to take shared responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s true on things like safe injection sites, which I authored the legislation to actually create a process to open those and we finally have a site in my district. But it can’t just be in the Tenderloin. It has to be throughout our city and it has to be around the state. If people are going to take responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>What would accountability look like if a county isn’t building enough housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: I think there has to be funding connected to doing the right thing,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Are saying that you would cut off funding if they don’t meet certain criteria? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Absolutely. I think that’s, that should be on the table. I think that it’s not just the state. You should also provide incentives, financial incentives, and I have the record showing how to get it done. I opened the first navigation center of anyone in the city. I proposed the first injection site, and in Santa Clara County I helped to build thousands of units of supportive housing to deal with homelessness in that county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And so the reality is that we need to build a broad-based movement all up and down our state and take on the big interests and get this done. We need single-payer. The reality is, we cannot rely on a health care system that relies on profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We can build the coalition that can actually move this. And that’s why the author of the bill wants me up there as his partner to actually get this done next time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>I want to ask you both to address what critics say about you, and we’ll start with you, David. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You know, a lot of people say, you know, smart guy, good guy. Too ideological, not practical enough, alienates people by not compromising enough. They mentioned single-payer, blaming Sacramento politicians for not getting it passed. Those are the people you’re going to have to work with if you go up there. So how do you address that criticism that you’re more interested in the ideology of things than the practical side of how things work? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I think the reason why someone like Toni Atkins, who is the president pro tem of the state Senate, is supporting me, is because she has seen my ability to bring people together. The fact that you try to be collegial and work with people doesn’t mean that you stand, that you don’t stand on principle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Matt Haney, critics of you might say that you’re more of a show horse. Not so much of a workhorse, as David Campos points out. I don’t know if any of your colleagues on the Board of Supervisors are endorsing you. Six are endorsing him. You’re quick to put out a press release, quick to go to a press conference. Maybe not so quick to roll up your sleeves and get hard work done. What’s your response to that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: Well, you know, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11909759/haney-campos-laws\">there’s been analyses of this even done by KQED\u003c/a> that show that I authored and passed more legislation than all but one of my colleagues. I’ve been very effective on the Board of Supervisors in delivering. Passed some of the biggest, most landmark policies over the last number of years, including co-authoring Mental Health [Association of] SF guaranteeing a right to mental health care in our city, building more housing in my district by far than any other, delivering the big and the small things. Creating a new Department of Sanitation, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in new funding for affordable housing. These are results. I represent a very tough district and I have delivered on these big issues. And the reality is I have the support of three of my colleagues plus me. So I have four and he has six. So it’s not that big of a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b>\u003cstrong> Let’s move to another issue. A big one for this district is rent, rent control, renters’ rights. Just yesterday, the Legislature passed a bill that would extend renter protections through June 30. It was going to expire today for those who had already applied for rent help. But it also undermined local moratoriums on evictions in San Francisco and in Los Angeles. [State Senator] Scott Wiener and [Assemblymember] Phil Ting, two of the representatives from San Francisco, both voted against it. They were two of the very few. How would you have voted on that bill?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I think that we need to protect renters. And I think the reason why Phil Ting is endorsing me in this campaign is because he knows my commitment. And to renters in this race, there is a very clear choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER:\u003c/b> \u003cstrong>Matt, I know you’re backed by the YIMBYs [Yes in My Backyard], you’re backed by the builders as well, some of those unions. But how would you have voted on that bill? \u003cb data-stringify-type=\"bold\">Would you have done what David just said [you would do] and just not voted no?\u003c/b>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I would not have supported that. I would have voted no. I’m the only renter in this race. If you look at Sacramento and you look at representation, about half of households in California, more than half in San Francisco are renters. Yet less than 2%, there are only two out of 120 of our legislators are renters. I would be the third. I live in rent-controlled housing. I’ve defended people in court who are facing evictions. I’ve been a strong champion for and passed just-cause eviction protections for renters here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, the reality is that if you look at Supervisor Haney’s record, it has changed. You know, the amount Haney of a year ago had, that record had all these pro-tenant organizations supporting him. We supported him for supervisor. And what happened is that the moment he decided to run for Assembly, those positions change. He became the person who ran against a YIMBY candidate to now becoming the NIMBY candidate. And what changed, quite frankly, and the voters can decide for themselves, a lot of money has been going to his campaign. Hundreds of thousands of dollars from realtors, from developers, and that position has changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I’ve been a tenant champion my entire career, defended people in court. I’ve done that repeatedly. I fought for tenants’ rights and delivered. We extended eviction protections. I authored the law to every tenant in San Francisco and my position on tenants’ rights has not changed. I’ve been consistent. I’ve also been consistently pro-housing, building more housing in my district than any other, including a lot more affordable and supportive housing. And that’s a big reason why I’m running. He’s been against housing, so yes, his position has been consistent. It’s been consistent against housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Let me just ask a specific question about that, because when you [David Campos] were on the Board of Supervisors, you promoted \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10736006/s-f-proposition-i-missions-future-central-issue-in-moratorium-vote\">a moratorium on building in the Mission District\u003c/a>, one of the neighborhoods you represented. And that was a time we needed more housing. So looking back on that, was that the right thing to do?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Well, as I’ve indicated, you know, I supported that in response to community concerns for the same reason, by the way, then-Supervisor London Breed at the time supported it. And it’s interesting because, again, I’ve said no. That I’ve learned from that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what’s interesting here, right, is that Supervisor Haney is attacking me for that very position, even though he himself took that position. But I want to be very clear about housing. The fact that I have said that I am for affordable housing does not make me anti-housing. What the YIMBYs want is to simply give a blank check to developers and to let them build whatever they want. And those of us who want to keep working people and middle-income people in San Francisco are simply saying, yes, we should build all kinds of housing, but we must build housing that is actually affordable for the teachers, for the people who clean our houses, who work at our coffee shops. That’s what I believe. Being for affordable housing, being against simply giving developers a blank check, it’s not against housing, it’s pro-affordable housing. There’s a difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: Q\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>uick response.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: I’ll put my track record in building affordable housing up against his any day. We are building thousands and thousand of units of affordable housing in my district. Many more than he did during his time. And the reality is we need housing of all types. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Why-did-S-F-supervisors-vote-against-a-project-16569809.php\">Projects like the 469 Stevenson Project\u003c/a>, 24% affordable, thousand-plus union jobs, 500 units of housing near transit. We need projects like that. I was for it. He was against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER\u003c/b>: \u003cstrong>A lot of issues around homelessness, as we know in the city.

What’s in the interest of their constituents. What I’m saying is that San Francisco, in many respects, has carried too much of the burden when it comes to homelessness and that other jurisdictions need to step in. And that’s why I think that it is fair for us to ask other jurisdictions to do the same now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>HANEY\u003c/b>: Every city and county across the state has to do their share, and they’re not right now. They need to have a plan of how many shelter beds they’re going to have, supportive housing they’re going to build, and there has to be an actual plan for accountability and consequences if they didn’t do or don’t do their part. We can’t solve homelessness just in San Francisco or just in one neighborhood of San Francisco. It’s going to take shared responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s true on things like safe injection sites, which I authored the legislation to actually create a process to open those and we finally have a site in my district. But it can’t just be in the Tenderloin. It has to be throughout our city and it has to be around the state. If people are going to take responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>What would accountability look like if a county isn’t building enough housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: I think there has to be funding connected to doing the right thing,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Are saying that you would cut off funding if they don’t meet certain criteria? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>CAMPOS\u003c/b>: Absolutely. I think that’s, that should be on the table. I think that it’s not just the state. You should also provide incentives, financial incentives, and I have the record showing how to get it done. I opened the first navigation center of anyone in the city. I proposed the first injection site, and in Santa Clara County I helped to build thousands of units of supportive housing to deal with homelessness in that county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For instance, an April 2021 resolution sponsored by Haney put the city on record “urging support of eliminating the United States Senate filibuster.” A January 2010 resolution by Campos recognized “the grand re-opening of the Bernal Heights Branch Library and commending the San Francisco Public Library and its team for their hard work and commitment to San Francisco and its residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The supervisors vote on it, and — presto, change-o — it becomes a statement of record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, hearings are meetings of the board, convened by one or more supervisors, to seek information or opinions on a topic of interest, wherein a representative of a city department may be asked to answer specific questions. Often these are a way to shine light on an issue for public understanding, or to establish a certain baseline of facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, Haney’s predecessor, hasn’t endorsed either candidate, but has long considered both of them allies and friends. We asked Kim to offer her own analysis on the two candidates’ lawmaking histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hearing these numbers for the first time, I would say that both Supervisor Haney and former Supervisor David Campos are both very active supervisors legislatively,” said Kim, who now runs the California Working Families Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that both candidates often wrote ordinances directly influenced by the hearings they called — rather than prompting one hearing after another without a clear goal in sight — Kim also suggested looking at those two tallies in tandem to gauge their productiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, for instance, held a hearing in 2015 to look into fire code inspections of apartment buildings\u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/07/21/string-of-mission-district-fires-prompts-push-for-safer-buildings-tenant-protections/\"> after a string of fires in the Mission\u003c/a>, a neighborhood he represented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, Campos had introduced an ordinance requiring owners of buildings with three or more dwelling units to comply with annual fire alarm testing and inspection requirements every two years, and upgrade existing fire alarm systems, among other changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, meanwhile, called a hearing in 2019 to \u003ca href=\"https://beyondchron.org/supes-hold-hearing-on-tenderloin-drug-dealing/\">look into open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin\u003c/a>, a longtime problem there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By September 2019, he had convened a street-level drug-dealing task force to develop recommendations for further action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think that it contributed to the urgency that led to the [Tenderloin] state of emergency and some of the solutions that have been deployed,” Haney said of the task force’s findings. One of those recommendations led to the presence of \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-mid-market-vibrancy-and-safety-plan\">nonprofit Urban Alchemy’s unarmed ambassadors\u003c/a>, Haney said, who patrol the neighborhood to provide increased safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Which laws did the two candidates work on? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We categorized Campos and Haney’s legislative histories based on subject area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law Matt Haney wrote or sponsored on the SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-sI01t\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/sI01t/9/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some laws were aimed at spurring housing development or tackling the homelessness crisis, or were inclusion-related laws aimed at helping a specific group, like the LGBTQ community or people of color. Other laws were intended to help specific businesses in each supervisor’s district, or a particular neighborhood, like when Haney created a local dog park in Mission Bay. The “reform” category includes new government ethics laws, improved access to voting, or cleaned-up errors in city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing laws is more art than science — for instance, a public health law may specifically aim to help homeless people, so is it a health care law, or a homelessness law?

Haney, by contrast, has introduced more neighborhood-focused legislation. That differentiation could signal how they’d legislate in the Assembly, although, as Kim noted, it may also be circumstantial, given the open-air drug dealing, overdose deaths, poverty and homelessness that Haney has tried to address in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Kim said, supervisors in the beginnings of their careers tend to focus more on the neighborhoods and districts that helped them get elected. But, “as they log on more years, they become more citywide in perspective,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Campos attributed his dearth of neighborhood-facing legislation on an inclination to develop citywide solutions to issues he identified in his own district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navigation centers that help unhoused people with extended stays and connections to services are one example, he said. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10773847/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\">He helped get the first navigation center built in the Mission District, which he represented.\u003c/a> Along with other supervisors, Campos then sponsored legislation to expand navigation center construction in other neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we realized after the navigation center had been open was that no one else was opening navigation centers in their district, that ours was the only one,” Campos said. “That’s an example of something that was neighborhood-specific that then grew into a larger city issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney said he has focused more on his district because the South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods have “a lot of huge challenges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, he trumpeted some of his own citywide laws, including placing on the 2020 ballot \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Francisco,_California,_Proposition_B,_Public_Works_Commission_and_Sanitation_and_Streets_Commission_Charter_Amendment_(November_2020)\">Proposition B\u003c/a>, which split San Francisco’s embattled Public Works Department into two separate departments, one of which now focuses solely on sanitation and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Housing: same issue, different approaches\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Assembly candidates tackled housing from noticeably different angles during their times on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Campos tended to concentrate on protecting existing housing, while Haney has focused more on enabling new housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this is situational: Haney’s district includes South of Market and part of downtown, two neighborhoods that encompass much of the city’s development. By contrast, Campos’s district includes the Mission, a hotbed of tenant advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law David Campos wrote/sponsored on SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-ZKLpa\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ZKLpa/11/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at these two candidates side by side, they’re not going to differentiate a lot on their positions around tenant protections, but a voter may decide that one candidate just has a greater wealth of experience in regards to the technical aspects, or just experience working on tenant-protection legislation,” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Campos authored an ordinance to provide Rent Board hearings for tenants who allege landlord harassment. He also sponsored eight additional tenant-protection-related ordinances, including fire protections, relocation payments to evicted tenants, tenant buyout agreements, and no-fault eviction protections for families with children under 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney in 2019 wrote legislation extending some eviction protections to units constructed after 1979, his main legislative focus was promoting construction of housing. For instance, in June 2019, he sponsored an ordinance approving a development agreement between San Francisco and KR Flower Mart LLC, for the development of an approximately 6.5-acre office and retail site located at Fifth and Brannon streets that was expected to generate $166 million in community fees, with $54 million earmarked for affordable housing. That development is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney also sponsored neighborhood redevelopment plans intended to spur housing and office construction and increase a jobs/housing linkage fee to fund new affordable housing development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1503765849634598914\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some of these plans were started by other lawmakers, and were years in the making before his time in office, they still stand in stark contrast to his opponent’s record, including Campos’s proposed “Mission moratorium,” a controversial 2015 ordinance to halt housing construction in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos told KQED he was largely responding to the wishes of his community at the time, when headlines often trumpeted high-profile evictions, and the issue of gentrification in the Mission District was on the tips of many tongues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city’s politics have shifted ever-so-slightly in recent years to more strongly favor building dense construction — and amid that backdrop, Campos said he now supports building more housing than he did while serving as supervisor. But it should always be affordable housing, he added, as opposed to “luxury housing,” a term some use to refer to market-rate construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said he would not repeat or replicate the Mission moratorium in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this business, you learn from your mistakes,” Campos said. “It’s actually something that came from the community. They actually collected signatures and brought it forward. And I think that in the end, you know, supporting it was a mistake. And if I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The health care divide\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As supervisors, both also focused extensively on health policy, but in different areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s landmark health-related legislation sought to plug a loophole in Healthy San Francisco, the landmark law authored in 2006 by his predecessor, Tom Ammiano, that offered universal health coverage to city residents. But while one provision in the bill asked for companies to establish health care accounts to disburse money for employees, it also had a loophole that allowed the companies to get away with never giving the money away at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s legislation prevented companies from getting out of funding their employee health care accounts. “David was the cavalry,” said Ammiano, who in addition to his role as supervisor also served in the Assembly, and is supporting Campos. “He came to the rescue of Healthy San Francisco and closed a loophole, and now Healthy San Francisco is still healthy, especially given the COVID crisis. That politically, personally, morally meant a lot to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos also authored health-related ordinances to establish a Medical Cannabis Task Force, and to require the city to create a plan for equitable distribution of health care services, among other legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DavidCamposSF/status/1494851925291855875\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By contrast, Haney’s health-related legislation illustrates his timing as a leader during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney had only been a supervisor for a year when the pandemic struck. Immediately, many citywide priorities were dropped as legislators and department heads came to grips with the invisible threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By March 2022, Haney had sponsored 10 COVID-19 emergency ordinances, the majority of which were extensions of two emergency laws. One requires grocery and drug stores, restaurants, and on-demand delivery service employers to provide health and scheduling protections to their employees during the pandemic. He also required the city to provide toilets and handwashing facilities within 1,000 feet of any tent encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were some areas where I didn’t feel like our response as a city was robust enough, whether that was protecting essential workers, providing for bathrooms or handwashing,” Haney said. “There’s still clearly areas where I needed to legislate to get people off the streets, to protect workers, to provide bathroom access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, whom you decide to support may come down to a single issue. But, Kim advised, as you browse the lists of laws each candidate has written or sponsored, think about which laws you consider most vital and whom you would want to represent you based on their experience writing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s possible,” she said, “that the person with the greater experience in that legislative work will have a leg up the day they take their office in Sacramento.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

For instance, an April 2021 resolution sponsored by Haney put the city on record “urging support of eliminating the United States Senate filibuster.” A January 2010 resolution by Campos recognized “the grand re-opening of the Bernal Heights Branch Library and commending the San Francisco Public Library and its team for their hard work and commitment to San Francisco and its residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The supervisors vote on it, and — presto, change-o — it becomes a statement of record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lastly, hearings are meetings of the board, convened by one or more supervisors, to seek information or opinions on a topic of interest, wherein a representative of a city department may be asked to answer specific questions. Often these are a way to shine light on an issue for public understanding, or to establish a certain baseline of facts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, Haney’s predecessor, hasn’t endorsed either candidate, but has long considered both of them allies and friends. We asked Kim to offer her own analysis on the two candidates’ lawmaking histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hearing these numbers for the first time, I would say that both Supervisor Haney and former Supervisor David Campos are both very active supervisors legislatively,” said Kim, who now runs the California Working Families Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Noting that both candidates often wrote ordinances directly influenced by the hearings they called — rather than prompting one hearing after another without a clear goal in sight — Kim also suggested looking at those two tallies in tandem to gauge their productiveness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos, for instance, held a hearing in 2015 to look into fire code inspections of apartment buildings\u003ca href=\"https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/07/21/string-of-mission-district-fires-prompts-push-for-safer-buildings-tenant-protections/\"> after a string of fires in the Mission\u003c/a>, a neighborhood he represented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2016, Campos had introduced an ordinance requiring owners of buildings with three or more dwelling units to comply with annual fire alarm testing and inspection requirements every two years, and upgrade existing fire alarm systems, among other changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney, meanwhile, called a hearing in 2019 to \u003ca href=\"https://beyondchron.org/supes-hold-hearing-on-tenderloin-drug-dealing/\">look into open-air drug dealing in the Tenderloin\u003c/a>, a longtime problem there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By September 2019, he had convened a street-level drug-dealing task force to develop recommendations for further action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do think that it contributed to the urgency that led to the [Tenderloin] state of emergency and some of the solutions that have been deployed,” Haney said of the task force’s findings. One of those recommendations led to the presence of \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/article/mayor-london-breed-announces-mid-market-vibrancy-and-safety-plan\">nonprofit Urban Alchemy’s unarmed ambassadors\u003c/a>, Haney said, who patrol the neighborhood to provide increased safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Which laws did the two candidates work on? \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>We categorized Campos and Haney’s legislative histories based on subject area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law Matt Haney wrote or sponsored on the SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-sI01t\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/sI01t/9/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some laws were aimed at spurring housing development or tackling the homelessness crisis, or were inclusion-related laws aimed at helping a specific group, like the LGBTQ community or people of color.

The “reform” category includes new government ethics laws, improved access to voting, or cleaned-up errors in city code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Categorizing laws is more art than science — for instance, a public health law may specifically aim to help homeless people, so is it a health care law, or a homelessness law?

Haney, by contrast, has introduced more neighborhood-focused legislation. That differentiation could signal how they’d legislate in the Assembly, although, as Kim noted, it may also be circumstantial, given the open-air drug dealing, overdose deaths, poverty and homelessness that Haney has tried to address in his district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, Kim said, supervisors in the beginnings of their careers tend to focus more on the neighborhoods and districts that helped them get elected. But, “as they log on more years, they become more citywide in perspective,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Campos attributed his dearth of neighborhood-facing legislation on an inclination to develop citywide solutions to issues he identified in his own district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Navigation centers that help unhoused people with extended stays and connections to services are one example, he said. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10773847/as-s-f-s-homeless-crisis-grows-one-supervisor-wants-to-expand-new-approach-to-housing\">He helped get the first navigation center built in the Mission District, which he represented.\u003c/a> Along with other supervisors, Campos then sponsored legislation to expand navigation center construction in other neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we realized after the navigation center had been open was that no one else was opening navigation centers in their district, that ours was the only one,” Campos said. “That’s an example of something that was neighborhood-specific that then grew into a larger city issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney said he has focused more on his district because the South of Market and Tenderloin neighborhoods have “a lot of huge challenges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, he trumpeted some of his own citywide laws, including placing on the 2020 ballot \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/San_Francisco,_California,_Proposition_B,_Public_Works_Commission_and_Sanitation_and_Streets_Commission_Charter_Amendment_(November_2020)\">Proposition B\u003c/a>, which split San Francisco’s embattled Public Works Department into two separate departments, one of which now focuses solely on sanitation and streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Housing: same issue, different approaches\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Assembly candidates tackled housing from noticeably different angles during their times on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the whole, Campos tended to concentrate on protecting existing housing, while Haney has focused more on enabling new housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this is situational: Haney’s district includes South of Market and part of downtown, two neighborhoods that encompass much of the city’s development. By contrast, Campos’s district includes the Mission, a hotbed of tenant advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Every law David Campos wrote/sponsored on SF Board of Supervisors\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-ZKLpa\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/ZKLpa/11/\" scrolling=\"yes\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at these two candidates side by side, they’re not going to differentiate a lot on their positions around tenant protections, but a voter may decide that one candidate just has a greater wealth of experience in regards to the technical aspects, or just experience working on tenant-protection legislation,” Kim said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Campos authored an ordinance to provide Rent Board hearings for tenants who allege landlord harassment. He also sponsored eight additional tenant-protection-related ordinances, including fire protections, relocation payments to evicted tenants, tenant buyout agreements, and no-fault eviction protections for families with children under 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Haney in 2019 wrote legislation extending some eviction protections to units constructed after 1979, his main legislative focus was promoting construction of housing. For instance, in June 2019, he sponsored an ordinance approving a development agreement between San Francisco and KR Flower Mart LLC, for the development of an approximately 6.5-acre office and retail site located at Fifth and Brannon streets that was expected to generate $166 million in community fees, with $54 million earmarked for affordable housing. That development is ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney also sponsored neighborhood redevelopment plans intended to spur housing and office construction and increase a jobs/housing linkage fee to fund new affordable housing development.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it should always be affordable housing, he added, as opposed to “luxury housing,” a term some use to refer to market-rate construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said he would not repeat or replicate the Mission moratorium in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this business, you learn from your mistakes,” Campos said. “It’s actually something that came from the community. They actually collected signatures and brought it forward. And I think that in the end, you know, supporting it was a mistake. And if I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>The health care divide\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As supervisors, both also focused extensively on health policy, but in different areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s landmark health-related legislation sought to plug a loophole in Healthy San Francisco, the landmark law authored in 2006 by his predecessor, Tom Ammiano, that offered universal health coverage to city residents. But while one provision in the bill asked for companies to establish health care accounts to disburse money for employees, it also had a loophole that allowed the companies to get away with never giving the money away at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos’s legislation prevented companies from getting out of funding their employee health care accounts. “David was the cavalry,” said Ammiano, who in addition to his role as supervisor also served in the Assembly, and is supporting Campos. “He came to the rescue of Healthy San Francisco and closed a loophole, and now Healthy San Francisco is still healthy, especially given the COVID crisis. That politically, personally, morally meant a lot to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos also authored health-related ordinances to establish a Medical Cannabis Task Force, and to require the city to create a plan for equitable distribution of health care services, among other legislation.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Immediately, many citywide priorities were dropped as legislators and department heads came to grips with the invisible threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By March 2022, Haney had sponsored 10 COVID-19 emergency ordinances, the majority of which were extensions of two emergency laws. One requires grocery and drug stores, restaurants, and on-demand delivery service employers to provide health and scheduling protections to their employees during the pandemic. He also required the city to provide toilets and handwashing facilities within 1,000 feet of any tent encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were some areas where I didn’t feel like our response as a city was robust enough, whether that was protecting essential workers, providing for bathrooms or handwashing,” Haney said. “There’s still clearly areas where I needed to legislate to get people off the streets, to protect workers, to provide bathroom access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, whom you decide to support may come down to a single issue.
