Re-elect Chris Daly to the San Francisco Supervisors

One of the Bay Chapter's highest election priorities this year is to re-elect Chris Daly to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

As we said four years ago, when Chris last ran for re-election, he has consistently been among the Board's strongest voices on environmental issues.

In 2003, as chair of the Transportation Authority, Chris formed a community-based committee to develop a 30-year expenditure plan for major transportation projects. He then led the campaign to reauthorize the half-cent sales tax to fund the plan. Highlights included funding for Bus Rapid Transit on Geary and Van Ness Avenues. The largest earmark was for the Transbay Terminal project, which Chris, as a member of the Transbay Terminal Joint Powers Authority, has navigated through a very rocky approval process.

In March 2004 Chris authored and assured the adoption of Prop I, mandating that Muni replace its dirtiest (pre-1991) diesel buses by the end of 2006.

A champion of smart growth, Chris has facilitated the approval of high-density housing near major transportation hubs and has pushed for lower parking minimums and maximums. As a member of the Joint Policy Committee and the Regional Planning Committee, Chris has pushed for policies that encourage smart growth, to protect green space and limit sprawl.

Chris has also succeeded in requiring the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to work with environmentalists on protection of the natural water resources and habitat in the Hetch Hetchy system.

Chris continues to serve on the Board of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and is pushing the District to take a more aggressive stance on climate change.

You can find Chris riding his bicycle daily in the new bike lanes he's helped stripe on Folsom, Howard, and Market Streets!
