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.
The Board voted to have no endorsement for the AD19 race this year. Although both candidates gave strong answers in their questionnaires, we also weighed their records on street safety and bike advocacy, and do not feel compelled to award our endorsement to either of the candidates. Nevertheless, we appreciated both candidates’ openness to working with SFBike in the future, and hope to be able to form a positive relationship with whichever candidate wins the seat.
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.
