David Campos - Meet & Greet - April Calendar

I was forwarded an invitation by Alexis Gonzales to a "meet and greet" for David Campos for Supervisor in District 9.
I had met David Campos very briefly at a Democratic Party event at the Mark Hopkins last year.
The barbecue event was held at Naps III out on Mission Street in the patio. Tami Bryant and her husband Carl Bryant sponsored the event. You could tell that the Bryant's care very much about David Campos and wanted to help him.

I was delighted to see Walter Johnson, one of the most lovable people in San Francisco - so funny! .

David talked about the responsibility of taking over from Supervisor Tom Ammiano, carrying on with passing legislation.(I believe Ammiano has endorsed Campos) David Campos feels he understands how San Francisco works and can get things done. The number one issue is "safety". He believes in police being part of the neighborhoods and knowing how to deal with the diversity in our community. He wants more affordable housing and is a advocate for a strong school system.

David Campos is an immigrant from Guatemala. He graduated from Stanford with a law degree from Harvard. He worked in the City Attorney's office, and is currently a San Francisco Police Commissioner and is on the San Francisco Democratic Central Committee. He is a volunteer co-chair of BALIF and is on the Board of Directors of San Francisco la Raza Lawyers Association.
