san francisco since 2007. i love this city and i am excited about the possibility of contributing to it by serving on the board of appeals. i've spent many years in government at the california public utilities commissioncommissioners, advisor, and administrative law judge. and i've learned that laws and regulations have profound impacts on people's lives. i've also seen how they don't always work for those who need them most, like the woman who called me in tears, deathly afraid that her power was going to be cut off. her hiv positive son needed that electricity for his medical care. i also saw our programs deny free appliances to low income families for well-intentioned yet curious reasons, like claiming that a washing machine on the second floor of a building is a safety hazard. i believe it is crucial for government to listen and to use its power thoughtfully. if appointed to the board of appeals, i will help san franciscans navigate our city's processes within the confines of the law. as a judge, i received extensive legal training and across my government service, i learned how to engage transparently with the public balance. conflicting policy priorities, and collaborate to find solutions. i kno
