Yesterday, the Department of Elections officially certified the results of the school board election. It’s official! In the end, I won the fourth seat with 76,904 votes, behind Norman Yee, Sandra Lee Fewer and Jill Wynns.
I will be formally sworn in on Wednesday, January 7 at Tenderloin Community School (627 Turk St. at Van Ness Ave.) at 6 p.m. – the ceremony is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend!

Congratulations! I look forward to continuing to read your blog as you serve in your new position. It’s great to see more of this kind of transparency and communication between the government and its people.
