And it does affect the mayoral race, especially if people want to champion change,” said Alondra Esquivel Garcia, president of the San Francisco Women’s Political Committee, a nonpartisan group advocating for women in local politics. “It’s so hard to do that when things are so embedded in the infrastructure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A special panel of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee plans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdemocrats.org/meetings/2024/july-24-2024-sf-democratic-party\">present a status report on Wednesday night\u003c/a> on its work to create the group’s first code of conduct around reporting, investigating and handling allegations of sexual misconduct within chartered political clubs. At the same meeting, the DCCC is set to vote for and announce its endorsement for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special committee on sexual misconduct was formed in April after multiple women came forward with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985525/failures-of-sf-office-on-sexual-assault-complaints-draw-scrutiny\">allegations against local Democratic club leaders\u003c/a>, including Jon Jacobo and later Kevin Ortiz, two political organizers in the Mission District. Both have denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, accusations that Jay Cheng, who leads the powerful moderate political group Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, attempted to assault a former girlfriend in college resurfaced on social media, drawing renewed attention and reporting on the 2011 incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng, who went by Jesse then, resigned from his post as a student regent at the University of California following the accusations. Irvine police and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office did not bring charges against Cheng, and he denies the allegations.[aside postID=news_11987959 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/BreedLeeStefani_qut-1020x676.jpg']“I have always believed that when these types of accusations are made, that they should be taken seriously and fully investigated. I took the incident very seriously, including never revealing the identity of my accuser because she wanted to stay anonymous, and I have respected her wishes,” Cheng wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24946487-email-from-jay-cheng-to-nancy-tung\">letter to DCCC Chair Nancy Tung\u003c/a> in April, where he expressed his support for the special committee on sexual misconduct in the political community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the allegations and Democratic leaders’ response to them come under increased scrutiny, the DCCC’s special committee aims “to change the culture of harassment and abuse,” said Lily Ho, who chairs the special panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s a tall order,” Ho said. “How that happens is to empower survivors to speak up and change an environment and space so everyone feels welcomed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In practice, that change is hard to make. Multiple survivors and advocates told KQED they had concerns with the group’s approach so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some Democratic club leaders are looking at ‘innocent until proven guilty’ rhetoric, which often is not seen as survivor-centered,” said Esquivel Garcia, whose group closely follows the committee’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic leaders acknowledged the challenge they face but said survivors and outside experts have informed the process, and it is still a work in progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We recognize this is new territory for all of us,” Ho said. “There isn’t any document or best practices that we can carbon copy; that just doesn’t exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Candidates commit to improving sexual harassment protocol\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While the process is underway, mayoral candidates vying for the Democratic endorsement were asked how they would support survivors of sexual assault. Tung didn’t comment specifically on how their responses may weigh into the decision-making process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The candidates will rise and fall on their own merits,” Tung said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates hope the candidates’ proposals to be more responsive to survivors will be an important factor in the DCCC’s endorsement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We knew that sexual violence in politics is not good and not the culture we want future leaders to be brought into,” Esquivel Garcia said. “And endorsements are a big thing. If someone endorses you, they truly believe in every mission and goal you’re putting forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Incumbent Mayor London Breed pointed to her administration’s work, which included creating a right to counsel for domestic violence survivors. She wrote: “Sexual harassment and assault is unacceptable in all forms. Survivors who come forward to report sexual assault or harassment must be treated with respect and have their cases investigated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990166\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990166\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-73-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former Mayor Mark Farrell speaks during a San Francisco mayoral debate with candidates Ahsha Safaí, Daniel Lurie, Mayor London Breed and Aaron Peskin at the Sydney Goldstein Theater on June 12, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mark Farrell wrote that he has always “stood with survivors and worked to make sure that our service providers and law enforcement agencies have the resources they need to support those who come forward, investigate cases fully, and pursue justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Mayor,” he wrote, “public safety will be my top priority, and that includes supporting survivors in every way I can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another candidate, Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, said he would work to preserve the Commission on the Status of Women, which a ballot measure proposed by the moderate group TogetherSF Action could slash in an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11992466/san-francisco-sees-competing-proposals-to-reform-byzantine-city-commissions\">overhaul of the city’s commission system\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have put a [competing] ballot measure on the November ballot to ensure the Commission is not removed in a backroom deal with shady politics to blame,” Peskin wrote. “We need to elevate survivors’ voices and double down on our commitment to supporting survivors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Mayoral hopefuls grapple with sexual misconduct affiliations\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“Personal relationships are hard to navigate in political spaces as well.

Farrell declined to comment on the letter of support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He isn’t the only mayoral candidate with affiliations with Ballard, who previously worked with the police union and Newsom during his time as San Francisco mayor and as a spokesperson for initiatives that philanthropist and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie led before his bid for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier was initially on the DCCC’s new committee on sexual misconduct but \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/30/san-francisco-democrat-sexual-assault-michela-alioto-pier/\">stepped down\u003c/a> after posts on social media resurfaced showing she, too, defended Ballard. Breed’s spokesperson, Joe Arellano, also wrote in support of Ballard after the Napa incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nate served as a mentor, friend, and office mate to me for 14 years before his personal issues.

The policies are expected to be ready between August and October, DCCC Chair Tung told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Committee members are considering resources like a third-party ombudsman that reports could go through and remain anonymous, among other options for survivors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the draft, a club would have to inform the ombudsman of a report within five days of it being filed online, and an investigator would be appointed to gather evidence of whether the code of conduct was violated. Survivors could appeal an outcome, and consequences for the accused would depend on what the survivor pursues, including private or public admonishment or prohibition from attending Democratic club events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft policy also suggests that beginning in January 2025, candidates seeking endorsement must complete and pass sexual harassment training. Club leaders would also have mandatory training on handling complaints, investigations and corrective steps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esquivel Garcia acknowledged that the process is difficult but necessary for any change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Each survivor is different, and I don’t think you can make everyone happy,” Esquivel Garcia said. “But the candidates need to truly take this advocacy into consideration when they are proposing policies or talking about their goals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

I know it’s still July and the bay is still technically on a break, but the news is news ING and we just couldn’t ignore this headline. President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will not run for reelection. Biden has faced lots of pressure in recent weeks to step aside after a debate performance that raised concerns about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump and serve another four years in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Biden has since thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Reactions poured in from all over the country, including here in the Bay Area. So today we’re putting our work hats back on real quick to hear how the Bay Area is responding to this huge news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congresswoman Anna Eshoo: \u003c/strong>Well, the first thing that came to mind was that Joe Biden has always been a great patriot. He has loved our country. He has served our country for over a half century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congresswoman Barbara Lee” \u003c/strong>Well, I think first it was a historic announcement, and I’m confident he did this with a lot of soul searching. And I’m sure it’s a day that’s very emotional for him. Made the announcement based on what was good for the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>John Dennis: \u003c/strong>I think it was probably the best for the Democrats for him to do that. I bet the Democrats wish they had done it sooner. Vice President Harris, assuming that she’s the nominee, whoever the nominee is, a lot of ground is going to have to make up against Donald Trump. But I think in many ways, this is just a way to have a shot at saving the House and the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rusty Hicks: \u003c/strong>For California Democrats, our mission has always been to defeat Donald Trump, to retake the House. My support will be for Kamala Harris as our next Democratic nominee for president and our next president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congressman Mark DeSaulnier: \u003c/strong>I’ve already endorsed Vice President Joe Biden for decades, and I’ve known her since we were both in local government. If other people want to run, they should go and make their case. But I don’t fight for myself. I think Kamala Harris is the person for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jonathan Padilla: \u003c/strong>I think Kamala Harris has done great things for the state of California. That being said, I want to talk to people in the district. I want to get a pulse for how people feel. I think I think I’m being honest. It’s probably Vice President Harris. But, you know, I think I think we’re still reeling from the last two, three hours. I want to get a sense of what this race will look like by the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>So, yeah, Just what was your reaction to that news this morning about. By not only saying he’s not going to seek the nomination, but also putting his endorsement behind Kamala Harris for president?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Victor Quatrell Bolenger: \u003c/strong>It’s time, because, I mean, he’s been sleep, so it’s time for him to relax. And he tried his best. So it is time to see if we can do something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gwen Goens: \u003c/strong>It’s definitely quite interesting. I think I’m still sort of processing it. It’s just it’s also super last minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AD Mohanraj: \u003c/strong>I think, like since it’s so late, like maybe there is a time for like a full, like, who else might be like a candidate. So it seems like, it makes sense for me like that. It’s like Harris is well positioned, but I don’t know anything about like, her policies or anything specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julie Shew: \u003c/strong>I think I’m jazzed about it. I’m totally jazzed about the fact that he stepped down and he’s picking Kamala Harris. I think it’s a really good thing. You know, I’m excited about what’s to come. And I know my friends are as well. I think it would be really great. I think women have to break a lot of glass ceilings and to see a woman president of color would be a really wonderful thing for this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>I just first like to ask just what your reaction to information was today that bulls President Joe Biden said he’s not going to be the nominee to run against Donald Trump. He’s talking out of the race and that he endorses Kamala Harris to run for president instead of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ted Johnson: \u003c/strong>Well, that’s a that’s going to be a major change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>Do you think she can beat Trump in a general election? And if she gets the nomination, that’s not a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ted Johnson: \u003c/strong>I don’t think so. I don’t think she’s going to beat Trump because Trump is a millionaire. And plus, Trump. Trump got a lot of support. It’s going to be hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sloan Holzer: \u003c/strong>I consider myself a liberal person. I know you know, we live in a world where it seems like the option or the left or the right, and I really don’t believe in that.

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hey, it’s Ericka. I know it’s still July and the bay is still technically on a break, but the news is news ING and we just couldn’t ignore this headline. President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will not run for reelection. Biden has faced lots of pressure in recent weeks to step aside after a debate performance that raised concerns about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump and serve another four years in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Biden has since thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. Reactions poured in from all over the country, including here in the Bay Area. So today we’re putting our work hats back on real quick to hear how the Bay Area is responding to this huge news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congresswoman Anna Eshoo: \u003c/strong>Well, the first thing that came to mind was that Joe Biden has always been a great patriot. He has loved our country. He has served our country for over a half century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congresswoman Barbara Lee” \u003c/strong>Well, I think first it was a historic announcement, and I’m confident he did this with a lot of soul searching. And I’m sure it’s a day that’s very emotional for him. Made the announcement based on what was good for the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>John Dennis: \u003c/strong>I think it was probably the best for the Democrats for him to do that. I bet the Democrats wish they had done it sooner. Vice President Harris, assuming that she’s the nominee, whoever the nominee is, a lot of ground is going to have to make up against Donald Trump. But I think in many ways, this is just a way to have a shot at saving the House and the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rusty Hicks: \u003c/strong>For California Democrats, our mission has always been to defeat Donald Trump, to retake the House. My support will be for Kamala Harris as our next Democratic nominee for president and our next president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Congressman Mark DeSaulnier: \u003c/strong>I’ve already endorsed Vice President Joe Biden for decades, and I’ve known her since we were both in local government. If other people want to run, they should go and make their case. But I don’t fight for myself. I think Kamala Harris is the person for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jonathan Padilla: \u003c/strong>I think Kamala Harris has done great things for the state of California. That being said, I want to talk to people in the district. I want to get a pulse for how people feel. I think I think I’m being honest. It’s probably Vice President Harris. But, you know, I think I think we’re still reeling from the last two, three hours. I want to get a sense of what this race will look like by the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>So, yeah, Just what was your reaction to that news this morning about. By not only saying he’s not going to seek the nomination, but also putting his endorsement behind Kamala Harris for president?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Victor Quatrell Bolenger: \u003c/strong>It’s time, because, I mean, he’s been sleep, so it’s time for him to relax. And he tried his best. So it is time to see if we can do something else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gwen Goens: \u003c/strong>It’s definitely quite interesting. I think I’m still sort of processing it. It’s just it’s also super last minute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AD Mohanraj: \u003c/strong>I think, like since it’s so late, like maybe there is a time for like a full, like, who else might be like a candidate. So it seems like, it makes sense for me like that. It’s like Harris is well positioned, but I don’t know anything about like, her policies or anything specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julie Shew: \u003c/strong>I think I’m jazzed about it. I’m totally jazzed about the fact that he stepped down and he’s picking Kamala Harris. I think it’s a really good thing. You know, I’m excited about what’s to come. And I know my friends are as well. I think it would be really great. I think women have to break a lot of glass ceilings and to see a woman president of color would be a really wonderful thing for this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>I just first like to ask just what your reaction to information was today that bulls President Joe Biden said he’s not going to be the nominee to run against Donald Trump. He’s talking out of the race and that he endorses Kamala Harris to run for president instead of him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ted Johnson: \u003c/strong>Well, that’s a that’s going to be a major change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>Do you think she can beat Trump in a general election? And if she gets the nomination, that’s not a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ted Johnson: \u003c/strong>I don’t think so. I don’t think she’s going to beat Trump because Trump is a millionaire. And plus, Trump. Trump got a lot of support. It’s going to be hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sloan Holzer: \u003c/strong>I consider myself a liberal person. I know you know, we live in a world where it seems like the option or the left or the right, and I really don’t believe in that. I think there’s people that know what to do and people who don’t know what to do. And I think this guy was not prepared. No, not prepared. He was not fit. I don’t know if I heard that is going to come out here. He’s going to be the substitute, Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Alex Emslie: \u003c/strong>I don’t think it’s a done deal.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Mayor London Breed plans to aggressively pursue clearing more encampments starting next month, now that a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11993312/court-lifts-restrictions-on-sf-encampment-sweeps\">Supreme Court ruling\u003c/a> has made it easier for cities to remove tents and punish people for sleeping on sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed announced the August crackdown during a mayoral debate on Thursday hosted by the union representing San Francisco firefighters — one of the city’s most coveted union endorsements, given the group’s influence in public safety circles and among the everyday people they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Effective August, we are going to be very aggressive and assertive in moving encampments, which may even include criminal penalties,” Breed told a room full of first responders pressing her and four other leading mayoral candidates about their homelessness plans. “Thank goodness for the change in the Supreme Court decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The June decision allows cities to enforce laws preventing people from sleeping outside, a major win for the mayoral hopefuls looking to assuage voters that they can take a firm stance in cleaning up the streets if they take office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the ruling opens a legal path for law enforcement to conduct sweeps, advocates say the city woefully lacks shelter and affordable housing options for people to turn to after city workers ask them to move along. As of Thursday, there were \u003ca href=\"https://hsh.sfgov.org/services/how-to-get-services/accessing-temporary-shelter/adult-temporary-shelter/shelter-reservation-waitlist/\">698 applications\u003c/a> on the city’s temporary shelter waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s announcement came after criticism from opponent Mark Farrell, a former supervisor and interim mayor, who said her administration is not acting swiftly enough to remove encampments after the Supreme Court ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said her office is working with the city attorney and department heads to ensure city workers are trained in federal and local laws around removing encampments, including the city’s “bag-and-tag” policy requiring workers to label personal belongings at unattended encampments so people living there can pick up their items, rather than disposing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/sydneyfjohnson/status/1813977428420919313?s=46\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2022, the Coalition on Homelessness \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11926891/unhoused-san-francisco-residents-sue-city-over-displacement-rights-violations\">sued the city\u003c/a> for failing to adhere to those policies and for not offering people alternative places to sleep before evicting them from encampments or sidewalks. A federal magistrate judge that year issued an order blocking the city from arresting people who refused to move when no other shelter options were available; however, the city was able to continue to clear encampments and did. Although that order was overturned following the Supreme Court ruling, the city must still adhere to its own bag-and-tag policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we don’t want to do is violate the law,” Breed said, adding that it can cost the city up to $20,000 “when we don’t get it right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighter’s union endorsed Breed in 2018 when she first ran for mayor. But on Thursday, it was Farrell who attracted loud applause for ideas like redirecting funding from city-contracted nonprofits to the Fire Departments, as well as tough-on-crime policing.[aside postID=news_11990177 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240612-SFMayoralDebate-90-BL-1020x680.jpg']“Whether it’s voluntarily or involuntarily, let’s get people off the streets,” Farrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He touted clearing the city’s largest encampments while interim mayor, a position he held for about six months in 2018. But federal homelessness data show the overall number of people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco increased by 1,177 between 2017 and 2019, or nearly 17%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie said he would focus on increasing accountability from departments tasked with responding to homelessness and, like Farrell, audit city nonprofits — a process already in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of people on this stage saying I’m going to audit all of the nonprofits on Day 1. But why haven’t they done that?” Lurie said of his opponents — all current or former elected officials he has criticized as “insiders.” “We are not holding groups accountable. I will, I promise you that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin, the race’s leading progressive candidate, slammed claims that solving homelessness would be a simple task for any mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anyone on this stage who tells you they can solve this in six months is BS-ing you,” he said. Unlike Breed and Farrell, who support criminal consequences for people sleeping outside and refusing shelter, Peskin told the group he believes “you do not criminalize unless you have someplace to offer shelter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Ahsha Safaí told the crowd that, as mayor, he would open up a “satellite office” in the Tenderloin, a neighborhood that has long struggled with sidewalk encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11996317\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11996317\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/SFMayoralDebate3-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco firefighters listen as mayoral candidates present their plans ahead of Local 798’s endorsement vote. \u003ccite>(Sydney Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We have to expand more shelter,” he said, adding that he wants to also expand the city’s Homeward Bound program, which funds bus tickets to send people experiencing homelessness out of the city to return to family, friends or other support networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attendees at Thursday’s debate also asked the candidates for their thoughts on a proposal by Supervisors Peskin and Safaí, which will be voted on next week, to boost firefighters’ retirement benefits and lower the retirement age for younger firefighters from 58 to 55.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adam Wood, secretary of the firefighter’s union, said the measure aims to address high cancer rates in the department by limiting exposure as firefighters age and their risk increases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have had over 200 cancer diagnoses among active and retired firefighters [in SFFD] in the last six years, and that’s among about 1,500 people,” Wood told KQED. “The cancer rate we are experiencing is especially concerning for firefighters once they reach the age of 50 and over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union’s mayoral endorsement for this election cycle will be announced Aug. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
