recently, i've had the pleasure to work with david campos on an lgbt shelter. aring last march which david convened about the tremendous need in this city for an lgbt shelter and i was extremely impressed with his ability to bring together the activists and the city people and get us all to work together in order to achieve that shelter which we have done in fact. and ultimately, i guess personally, as a queer activist, i feel it is time that we have a progressive queer latino immigrant mayor here in san francisco. and that person is david campos. thank you. president chiu: next speaker. >> my name is ace washington. this is copyrighted under the community news service. i'm here to say i'm just totally convinced that this city is totally out of control. and we don't know who's in control. so i'm here to bring this to the world. but i'm african-american. i'm an african-american first. and i am putting this to our current mayor, mr. gavin newsom, and he put together this action plan. and right now i want to know who's in control. >> ♪ i want to know, yeah who's in

i like david campos, maybe you like ed harrington. put your names down, mention them, and, you know, if we want to order the vote or reorder the vote or restructure it to get to an outcome, fine, we can do that procedurally. we can withdraw nominations or remake nominations or vote down a name if it's earlier in the order because you want to vote for someone later in the order and then go back to the earlier of the order but we can't do any of that unless we actually have a vote to actually have that process happen. so let's have that process happen and if we are not going to have that process happen now, let us clearly communicate what our intentions are on january 8, and if you want to say you're not prepared to have this conversation now, you're going to vote yes on this motion, but regardless of what happens between now and january 4, you want to have nominations and take votes on january 4, fine. at least you've said something. if you want to tell me you don't want to take motions and you'll play into the mayor's gamesmanship if

maybe david campos will be a good mayor. many people as this process. maybe supervisor avalos will do a good job so don't be afraid someone pretends to suit your intelligence and the public and the dignity where many of you live in a couple of days be placed. >> i just wanted to take a minute to say that we have elected our board of supervisors to do this job for us and we are excited about this process. i think this city is ready to move into a new mayor this is the embarrassment and we have a lot of good people that could be our next mayor. while i don't have an actual, this is to buy want you to vote for and what i want you to do, i want to give as much support in this process to recognize that it can see that it is there and also to keep gavin newsom from letting down the people to voted for him for lieutenant governor. >> i have an opportunity to express it. i have been here and we have been watching it. finally, the people have a chance to get one of their people in as mayor. everyone says that the next mayor will have the terms. he will have to c

we need david campos' help. and we have to get milaya cohen involved.ause i think there's power in numbers. i think that they have what it will take to get this done. so i just want to say that numbers don't lie. i spent a lot of time looking at that book there. i think that once we educate ourselves and see the discrepancy between the rest of the city, recreation, that -- and how many children are inside district 10 and the area-a-around there, the numbers -- and the area around there, the numbers won't lie and will not lie. i don't think anybody has really put it out there. and kind of beat around the bush. come up here and say we need help. but actually don't get down to the hard facts. so i look forward to working with you guys. i know you have a hard budget to deal with. but district 10 has always done without so this is our time. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment? ok. being none, we are through with item 20 and we are now on item 14 as 13 was removed from calendar. and 14 is public comme

i am perplexed because of the extraordinary leadership that has come to bear in david campos. we worked on the issues between various communities. it is critical and needs continued attention to ensure that our special populations are not continually pulverized. i would urge you to carefully consider both of these candidates. david chiu has been an extraordinary leader. in this time of crisis, we need continuity. supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. congratulations to the new supervisors. i am a local. i was born and raised in san francisco. i am here in support of the nomination of supervisors john avalos for more reasons than i can tell you. i came here and spoke to the current mayor newsom. i wrote him a letter the first day he was inaugurated when he first became mayor. i begged him to take care of all the people in the southeast that were killing each other. they needed jobs. we need jobs. without jobs, it is hard to have pride and be proud of yourself that you can support your family. it is a basic need in this country. these of the things that we

some representation out here in san francisco, and the only one that we believe and is supervisor david campos and the reason for this is that he has come to the mission district while a lot of you politicians fail to come. you forget about us. all of you give us is to remove us from the mission district, and you put a lot of restrictions against us, and as a homeboy, from california, because as you can see, can you show the magazine over here? as you can see, this magazine here covers california, right? to san francisco, to give hope and guidance to the rasa, and he speaks, to guys like me. to the youngsters. check this out. to encourage our youngsters to continue education and to guys like us to go ahead supervisor mirkarimi -- to go ahead. supervisor mirkarimi: next speaker, please. >> my name is -- this is a formaleq

. >> reporter: supervisor david campos says newsom is being hip critical by asking for approval of his nominees. >> on the one hand he is question the legitimacy of his board acting on the interim mayor position. but at the same time he is asking that same board, whose legitimacy he is questioning to act on it. >> and i am a pauled to witness what is happening here. >> reporter: board members were taken to task by former supervisor amos brown. >> i think it's unfortunate that power games like this are being played. >> reporter: in the end, the rules committee agreed to approve three of newsom's nine mayoral appointments. >> only got one of two commission nominations today. so the new interim mayor will have a port commission seat which is right now with the america's cup. it's always been a significant seat but probably more so right now. >> reporter: a mayoral spokesman tonight called the board's actions this afternoon a petty political game and said its representative of why the mayor doesn't want them to choose his interim replacement. reporting live in san francisco, david stevenso

like to introduce another strong champion and reason for the success of this program, supervisor david campos. [applause] >> thank you. that is pretty good. i do not know about the cal bears part. i wanted to thank mayor newsom on his leadership on this issue. this would not have happened without the mayor making it the priority that it has been. 84 pushing back, even when cuts were being made in city hall. -- thank you for pushing back, even when cuts were being made in city hall. on a personal level, what is so powerful for may, the notion that when a kid begins the school system that you make it clear to him or her that college is a possibility for them i think that is something that cannot be overestimated. it is something that is powerful. in california, only 10% of latinos have a college degree. 22% for african-americans, compared to 40% of the anglo population. that is a huge disparity, and unless we address it in this state, it will have long-term ramifications about the future of this had state, economically and otherwise. i have always said, i have benefited from the fact that i was

and so to that i nominate commissioner david compos -- campos as chair of lafco. >> second. >> by commissioners mar, avalos. very good. are there any other nominations for chair? i just want to add to this particular point as i transfer the gavel to commissioner campos, who has been a very able-bodied member of this commission that his -- he's made me quite proud to work with staff of lafco and the san francisco public utilities commission and with the legion of advocates who had been steadfast in their commitment. some of them are taking the day off i think. but there are some tried and true and always here, and i appreciate that. in over the years i think to realize in over the years i think to realize an obvious objective that i think fits san francisco's outlook and that i think objective is that we cannot gamble on the inaction or any superficial attempts to really step up to the plate and diversify our energy portfolio in san francisco with a healthy substantial use of renewables, and when we consider the annual aggregate consumption of mega wattage that is used in our electricity, and th
