i am rachel deno, resident of the city and here to speak in support of amanda eaken, personally and professionally. since graduate school, amanda has dedicated her entire professional career to public transportation, sustainable land use and the betterment of our communities. i've had the privilege to work with her on policy at the state level, and she, as you can tell just in her testimony, she intellectually goes deep on every issue. she brings together a very diverse, broad range of coalitions, and she respectfully helps negotiate for solutions that work for all. personally, as someone who is honored to spend some leisure time with her, i can also attest to her infectious dedication and use and her family of public transportation throughout the city, and i thoroughly support her nomination. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors, chair ronen. my name is rachel hyden. i'm the executive director of the san francisco public transit coalition. we work for better public transportation. we need the leadership to envision, to push for it, to really support that vision. director eaken is that leader.
