my name is ed donaldson. i'm a lifelong resident here in san francisco. i'm also an equity applicant on two deals with norcal cannabis. i'm also the director of community development for norcal cannabis. beneath of of these two things without did not happen without her. she has an application for seat 12 and seat 14. i don't want to go into her qualificati qualifications, but i want to talk about the attributes i noticed. she's authentic, she's tough, she has integrity and more importantly, she has compassion. she cares about the plant. she cares about people. she is a native of san francisco and she cares about this city and what happens here. more importantly, she's a woman in a men dominated industry. i believe there should be room for voices of women to really speak to the issue of cannabis here in san francisco. all of these things have really contributed to some very special things that are happening at r norcal, where we have been able to get outside of the box and think of equity in a different fashion and it's given rise to things i'm encouraged
