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.
Jen Nossokoff is the candidate that District 1 has been waiting for – in its often car-centric neighborhoods, she bikes everywhere and fights for safe street infrastructure as a crucial element that will help us truly achieve Vision Zero; she’s also the only candidate supporting Prop K, for a permanent Ocean Beach Park. Jen brings a progressive yet mindful approach to street projects; in her questionnaire, she said, “it’s crucial to communicate the broader benefits of transit projects: reducing congestion, driving traffic to local businesses, and decreasing parking demand.” We also appreciated her understanding of iterative progress, saying, “utilizing pilot programs can demonstrate these benefits, easing initial resistance and showing real-world impacts before making permanent changes.”
Ambitious, yet pragmatic, approaches that focus on creating buy-in from the community is a winning combination for District 1, so we are proud to give Jen Nossokoff 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.
