Assembly District 17 Debate: Supervisor David Campos and Supervisor David Chiu

Politics in San Francisco is more than just casting a ballot for a representative; it is about San Franciscans making a conscience effort to change their City's future. The San Francisco Young Democrats are hosting the first political debate of 2014 for the Assembly District 17 seat between San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, District 9, and current Board of Supervisors President, Supervisor David Chiu, District 3, on January 23 at the San Francisco Main Library.

San Francisco Main Library
Koret Auditorium
100 Larkin Street
Time: 5:30 to 7:30PM

The San Francisco Young Democrats will vote after the debate and announce their endorsement of either Supervisor David Campos or Supervisor David Chiu. Both supervisors have similar platforms. Both rank Affordability as their top priority focusing on the Ellis Act evictions and creating affordable housing for all San Franciscans.

Fact: David Campos created the Free Muni for Youth program for low-income and middle–income youth free access to public transportation which Mayor Ed Lee has supported. He also created the Mission Promise Neighborhood to bring funding to four schools in the Mission District in order to get them back into the Academic game.

If elected, Supervisor David Campos will make history by being the first Latino to serve the State Assembly for San Francisco.

Fact: David Chiu has passed 90 ordinances in San Francisco. His most successful to date has been the Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance which allows City workers to request flexible work schedules in order to take care of family members. It prohibits discrimination and retaliation from employers against those employees.
