Ocean Ave Lunar New Year celebration was amazing! Thank you to Community Youth Center of San Francisco, Ocean Avenue Association, Ocean Incubators, OMI CPP and especially Supervisor Myrna Melgar for your collaboration on this beautiful event. |
On Tuesday, I presented a special commendation to Assistant Deputy Chief Shon Buford for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the San Francisco Fire Department in honor of Black History Month.
Shon is a native San Franciscan who was born and raised in the OMI. He is a 30 year veteran of the San Francisco Fire Department. In 2019, he was elected the first Black President of San Francisco Firefighters Local 798. He is a committed to public servant and I am happy to honor him at Board of Supervisors. |

It was wonderful to honor Speaker Pelosi at the Board of Supervisors as well as at the API Council community celebration. Speaker Pelosi is one of the most important political leaders of our generation and I thank Speaker Pelosi for her decades of service for San Francisco and for our Country. |
