MEET TREVOR:
A Commonsense Democrat Standing Up for Our Values
Trevor is a SFUSD public school teacher, a union member with the United Educators of San Francisco, and a nationally recognized LGBTQ+ civil rights activist with the proven experience of taking on tough fights and winning.
Working for the Human Rights Campaign for over 6 years, Trevor traveled the country organizing against transphobic legislation from Juneau, Alaska to Charlotte, North Carolina and defended hard-won LGBTQ+ civil rights gains. He’s helped lead seven marriage equality campaigns and many nondiscrimination campaigns by building historic bipartisan coalitions, doing the tough community organizing work, and holding politicians accountable.
Delivering for Neighborhoods
Trevor has been laser-focused on advocating for his community, serving on Equality California's Board of Advisors and as a member of Coro Northern California and volunteering weekly at the SF-Marin Food Bank at the peak of the COVID pandemic.
A passionate member of his Mission District neighborhood, Trevor serves on the Eastern Neighborhoods Citizens Advisory Committee. When he learned that the Mission had 20% less crosswalks than the wealthier, whiter Pac Heights neighborhood, he successfully led the effort to bring $200,000 to ensure equity in crosswalk coverage for the Mission, protecting our children and seniors.
Trevor is the only candidate in the race who joined with the majority of D9 voters to recall the School Board because he knows our kids and teachers deserve better than the failing status quo.
Fighting Addiction
Gov. Newsom appointed Trevor to be an outside voice on the CA State Board of Pharmacy where he’s taking on Big Pharma and fighting the deadly opioid epidemic by voting to empower small pharmacists to initiate addiction treatment with Medical Assisted Therapy and expanding the definition of overdose prevention drugs to get new treatments accessible faster. He has also stood with small business pharmacists by overseeing the largest update in pharmaceutical regulations and labor standards in more than a decade and has brought recovery meetings inside San Francisco jails. Trevor has been in long-term recovery and knows we need to address this deadly crisis now.
Protecting the AAPI Community
When hate crimes spiked in San Francisco, Trevor joined community patrols and put groundbreaking safety technology in the hands of the AAPI community at no cost as Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy for the Citizen App, a tool that puts public safety information in the hands of the public and increases police transparency.
A Progressive Who Will Protect Our Families
Now, Trevor’s running for Supervisor because City Hall is broken and D9 is demanding commonsense solutions for change that only an outsider like Trevor can bring. He knows that delivering clean streets, strong schools, and safer neighborhoods while standing up for our progressive values aren’t mutually exclusive. We can do both. We just need leadership to get it done. Trevor Chandler for Supervisor. A progressive who will protect our families.
