we will go back to gia daniller- katz. after gia, jenny lam. >> good morning. thank you for including me. my name is gia daniller-katz, and i am here today because i would love the opportunity to serve as a member of the redistricting task force and to serve the city in committee in this way. my interest in the special assignment stems from my passion for san francisco, a deep commitment to community involvement, as well as community engagement. i have interests in all things political. i have been actively involved in civic affairs in san francisco and with various community and political organizations for the past 15 + years. i worked in areas around urban planning, environmental issues, women's issues, and have been very involved in the jewish community. i am a past president, like my good friend and colleague, adjacent p -- jason porth, in the club. i am running a small business

gia daniller-katz. next, we have james tracy. after james, we have jason porth. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is james tracy. usually when we come in front of each other like this, it is usually run partisan politics, different issues that we're debating of the day. i believe that the number one thing that any commissioner can do is to put aside these things and just basically obey the law. there is the city charter. federal civil rights law. there is a host of other laws that we have to obey. and we have to balance the needs of a very changing the city that is very, very complex geographically. we do not have as many ethnic enclaves that are unbroken as we did even 10 years ago and 10 years before that. so there will be a lot of challenges before us, basically, you have to be able to put aside your own ideological beliefs and find out exactly what will be the conditions that can give every single san franciscan, no matter where they live, an equal chance at voicing their will. i participated heavily in the census effort
