“Being a leader means stepping up when your constituents need help and doing whatever it takes to support them. For me, that included collecting and delivering tens of thousands of masks and gloves to frontline workers and service providers, and working night shifts serving meals in a COVID shelter hotel when we were severely understaffed. In times of crisis, you check your ego at the door, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.” -Matt
“San Francisco’s skyrocketing cost of housing isn’t just a problem—it’s a crisis. We can’t keep letting politicians block new housing we need now. We need more housing near jobs and transit, including affordable housing, so that working families can afford to live here. And we need to protect renters so that they can stay in their homes without being priced out or evicted.” -Matt
