San Francisco Board of Supervisors, District 10

Bastiany advocates for a complete and transparent cleanup of the shipyard. He said he would “challenge the Navy’s remediation” and push for a “resident-led oversight structure” for an independent technical review of the work. He opposes housing plans for “affected parcels without independently verified cleanup and community confidence.” He envisions a “community-benefit-driven” future once the cleanup is finished. This could include clean-energy manufacturing, shipbuilding and waterfront access. 

Brookter says the cleanup would be one of his top priorities. He says his approach would put “public health before politics, truth before development and repair before rhetoric." He says the “burden is on the government to prove” to the public that “the land is safe.” Brookter said he would fight for an independent review of the cleanup and  that the community must have “meaningful decision-making” in what happens next in the cleanup process.

Bryant believes residents deserve reliable information about the cleanup process and any potential health risks. She plans to advocate for “independent, credible testing” and transparency and clear communication with the public. She also thinks residents should have a “meaningful role in oversight and decision-making.”

Ellington lives in a neighborhood within the shipyard’s footprint. He says the cleanup's history has led  him to a simple conclusion: “Nobody takes anyone's word for it.” As supervisor, Ellington says he will insist upon independent verification of testing before land is transferred, publicly track every delay and demand space for community involvement. He said he would also fight for health screening, because “exposure records kept today are the evidence families will need tomorrow.”

Eppler believes the community needs more transparency regarding environmental remediation by the Navy and other agencies. As supervisor, he wants a level of safety in the cleanup that residents feel comfortable with, and says areas close to where people live “certainly need to be cleaned up to the highest standards.” He says the shipyard cleanup should not be rushed and that it should deliver economic opportunity and improvements in public health.

Jennison says promises for a “total clean-up” of the shipyard have not been fulfilled. He thinks the rest of the site should be used for industrial interests, “not housing.” The site could host green energy projects such as solar, wind or “a brand new electric power plant.” He says industrial uses would “provide great jobs” for District 10 residents. 

Lin’s approach for the shipyard includes three strategies: prove it’s safe before anyone digs, hit bad contractors where it hurts and make honest testing available to the public online. He said his rule would be simple: “No building permits, no land handoffs and no breaking ground until independent inspectors test the soil and prove 100% that it is safe for our families.”

Muhammad says his family has been directly affected by the contamination at the shipyard. He says the city needs to get serious about whether the shipyard can ever be fully cleaned up. If elected, he plans to bring a community voice to the Board of Supervisors chambers. 

Richard says because residents have “waited too long for a cleanup they can trust,” he plans to make the shipyard a top priority. He says he would push for greater transparency from the federal government and regulatory agencies because “residents should never have to wonder whether the ground beneath their homes, schools, parks and neighborhoods is safe.” He also believes redevelopment should “not come at the expense of public health” and should not displace longtime residents. 

Bastiany's campaign priorities include housing stability and affordability, environmental justice and economic opportunity and community safety with accountability. He says communities within the district have borne “outsized pollution and infrastructure burdens” and believes residents should be able to remain in their communities as redevelopment promises materialize. He also wants to hold “police accountable for excessive force and civil rights violations.”

Brookter said if elected, he would prioritize housing stability, economic opportunity, quality education and delivering results through “effective government.” He says he would prioritize producing affordable housing, strengthening public schools and making city government “more effective, accountable and responsive” to the needs of all neighborhoods. He believes District 10 “deserves to be prioritized” because it has “endured disproportionate harm” for generations.

Bryant says her main goals are to be “interconnected and reflect” residents’ immediate concerns and the long-term work needed so families can “thrive in the district.” She plans to hold to three tenets: increasing local jobs and economic opportunity, investing in community safety and violence prevention and making sure communities are safe and affordable. Bryant says her priorities are grounded in her upbringing in Bayview-Hunters Point.

Ellington aims to make housing, transportation and business and economic development central to his campaign. With thousands of homes slated for the district, he wants to ensure “affordability starts with the people already here.” Ellington said he would also fight for a regional transit funding measure for service “on the lines working people actually ride” and hold the SFMTA to publish on-time standards. 

Eppler’s main priorities center around housing, transit and infrastructure. He describes his priorities as “building complete, vibrant and connected neighborhoods.” He wants to ensure the district gets the resources it needs because “it’s been overlooked by the city.” This includes street cleaning, grocery stores, pharmacies and other things “people need for daily life.” He is also focused on speeding up the T-Line by prioritizing signals to get from Sunnydale to Chinatown in less than 40 minutes. 

Jennison says his top priorities include improving youth education by increasing teacher wages, developing a music program within the district and improving language skills. He would advocate for a “much-needed grocery store” in the Bayview. He also would like to see “a world-class park on the shore of India Basin.”

Lin plans to make three areas his top priorities if elected: building more homes near public transit, bringing people to merchant corridors with art and keeping blocks safe with beat cops and smart technology.

Muhammad’s top priorities include creating more opportunities for young people to thrive within the district.“As our children go, so do we as a community,” he says. Public safety is also a priority, as he runs a Big Brother program. As the grandson of one of the members of the Big 5 of Bayview — community leaders and political activists from the 1960s and ’70s — environmental justice is a big part of his campaign.

Richard’s top three priorities include public safety, economic development and housing and community stability. He believes all residents “deserve to feel safe” in their community. He says he will fight to attract good-paying jobs and make sure new development creates “real opportunities” for residents. As  developers start to build thousands of new homes in the district, Richard says he would make sure existing residents aren’t “pushed out.”
