Meet the District 9 candidates: Who do you support for school board?
The School Board has been off track for far too long and I supported the recall of members who did not prioritize student outcomes.
We should continue that progress by replacing the remaining incumbents with serious, competent people. That is why I am supporting Parag Gupta, Supriya Ray, Jamie Huling, and John Jersin for the School Board.
I’m confident they will focus on fiscal stability, student outcomes, and teacher recruitment and retention. They have the skills and experience to do the job and guide SFUSD during this difficult time for the District.

Violent crime spikes in Mission, leaving city leaders frustrated
“We need police walking beats. Not only is it good for community relations but it discourages crime,” said Trevor Chandler, also running to replace Hillary Ronen as the District 9 supervisor.
Chandler says while campaigning door-to-door, he’s learned about people’s frustrations.
“People in the Mission are feeling completely neglected, completely left out and forgotten. The basics aren’t getting done. They want to feel safe walking down the street whether it’s 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. That’s not too much to ask,” Chandler said.
Democrats in San Francisco quickly organize, rally support for Kamala Harris
"Voters in District 9 were incredibly concerned about the presidential race, so much so that they were telling me, 'Trevor, I can't talk about local issues right now because I am so overwhelmed with what's happening at the national level,'" Trevor said. "So, I think by us going out there, showing that we are just as excited for Kamala as the rest of the country, is to hopefully send a big signal to the rest of the country that, hey, San Francisco loves our daughter. We're going to stand up for her.."
Top San Francisco Democrats Throw Their Support Behind Kamala Harris
“Today was a remarkable show of unity from all facets of the San Francisco Democratic Party,” said Trevor Chandler, member of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee. “Every shade of blue, no matter our disagreements, came together with one voice to say that we support our local candidate, Kamala Harris, for president.”

District 9 candidate Trevor Chandler says he will shake up City Hall
“If anyone in my office [or] anywhere else says we can’t do something because that’s the way it’s always been done, I’m going to try to get them fired,” said Chandler. “We cannot do things the way they’ve always been done.”
“Any meeting that any of these departments want to have with me, they can meet me at a desk at the BART station and we can talk about it as trash floats by,” said Chandler. “I’m willing to use the bully pulpit in ways that, yes, does embarrass them, but also gets results.”
The most contentious issues so far in our District 9 ‘Meet the Candidates’ series
“Chandler… proposed a night market at both the 16th and 24th Street BART plazas that is well-lit and has security. He said this will increase tourism and foot traffic, benefitting vendors and small businesses in the area.”
“Chandler proposed eliminating fees on 100 percent affordable units and supporting neighborhood preference for tenants.”

Political Notebook: Gay leader launches bid for SF District 9 supervisor
Relatively unknown outside of LGBTQ political circles, and a white candidate running for a seat San Francisco Latino leaders want to reclaim, Trevor Chandler is launching his bid for District 9 supervisor 19 months before voters will cast ballots in the race. By doing so, the gay leader aims to spend this year addressing the various hurdles he will face as a candidate.
"For me, the clear challenge I am dealing with is lack of name recognition. It is why I wanted to get started early," Chandler, 36, told the Bay Area Reporter in an exclusive interview about his candidacy. "I am not naïve. I know what my main challenge will be so I want to start heading out there and knocking on doors."
