As a 501(c)(4), the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition* makes political endorsements, helping to ensure San Francisco is a better place to live, work, and bike. Our endorsements process is led by our 15-person board of directors that is directly elected by our membership.
Creating transformative change on our streets requires political will, and we’ve never had a bike champion as Supervisor in District 7, until now – you can see it every day when she rides her bike from home in District 7 all the way to City Hall. Supervisor Melgar’s unwavering support for car-free, family friendly and joyful spaces have made her more than deserving of our endorsement, from her championing of JFK Promenade to her current support for Prop K. We are looking forward to continuing our work together, showing the rest of the City that families in District 7 love bikes.
With gratitude to all the work she has already done as incumbent Supervisor, we are joyfully giving Supervisor Melgar our sole endorsement.
You can read the answers from all candidates to our questionnaire here. For any questions regarding our endorsements, please reach out to the SF Bicycle Coalition Board of Directors at board@sfbike.org.
*The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Education Fund is a distinct 501(c)(3) entity that operates most of our engagement and programmatic work.
