Kick-off for Jose Cisneros re-election for City Treasurer was held at Lime Restaurant on Market Street on Monday night. The room was full of friends and supporters including District Attorney Kamala Harris, Supervisors David Campos, David Chiu and Supervisor Bevan Dufty and his adorable daughter Sydney.
Jose talked about how he has increased revenues for the City and created The City' Bank on San Francisco Program which has saved 24,000 San Francisco residents much needed funds. Jose Cisneros' election is coming up this November 3, 2009.
A highlight of the evening was the wonderful food, including white cheese grilled cheese sandwiches, sliders, quesadillas and my favorite - deviled eggs.
