i'm joel engardio. i live in the district 7 neighborhood. families care about the basics: housing, schools, quality of life. the budget has doubled the last decade, and nothing is twice as good, and now, we're facing massive deficits. we need to audit every program and only pay for what works. i grew up in the gm town of sag saginaw, michigan. i've lived in san francisco for 22 years, lived in district 7 for a decade. as a journalist, i held city hall accountable and gave people a voice. i'll do the same as your supervisor. it's time to get it right. clean streets, smaller deficits, and better services, and i'd be glad to be your candidate. >> thanks, joel. ken? >> my name is ken [inaudible] we lived off of every muni met metro line, and for the last 14 years, i've lived just a couple of blocks up in district 7 on ocean avenue. i've been successful here. both my wife and i were able to build careers. one is at u.c. davis and another one's at roll, and buena vista horace mann. i feel with my experience, i understand district 7 well. families
