On a very cold Wednesday night I walked over to Orbit Room Cafe on Market Street for Rebecca Prozan's "Fired Up!" Kick-Off Fundraiser.
Rebecca's friends and supporters filled the room showing their support for her candidacy for Supervisor in District 8. San Francisco Community College District Trustee Steve Ngo gave opening remarks and said it best "it is an honor to support Rebecca Prozan, she is genuinely nice, she has the biggest heart and she is a hard worker".
Rebecca's first words "my name is Rebecca Prozan and I am running for Supervisor in District 8. San Francisco is at a crossroads and as President Barack Obama said "together ordinary people can do extraordinary things". There is so much to be done. I am not afraid to ask questions." She is planning to walk all precincts to let people know about her 14 years of public service experience and what she will do as supervisor.
