Our Mission: To Endorse, Empower, Elect
We are extremely proud to tell you that the SFWPC membership overwhelmingly approved our early endorsement of Janet Reilly for District 2 Supervisor, 2010; Carmen Chu for District 4 Supervisor, 2010; and Debra Walker for District 6 Supervisor, 2010. We have truly kicked off the Year of the Woman, and, as a community, we are more hopeful about 2010 than ever.
But the battle for the Board – and the City – has just begun. Now that we have endorsed, we must empower. That means we need to put our money and our time where our hears are and really step up to the plate to elect these three strong, qualified women leaders to the Board of Supervisors. In turn, they will spend the next four years standing up for our values to make sure that our bottom line issues are met, and that the status of women, girls, and families in San Francisco continues to thrive.
How can YOU empower our endorsed candidates?

Carmen Chu is running for Re-Election as District 4 Supervisor in San Francisco, 2010.

Debra Walker is running for District 6 Supervisor in San Francisco, 2010. SFWPC endorsed her candidacy at the San Francisco Women’s Holiday Party 2009 because she is a past SFWPC Board of Directors member and has had an unfailing commitment to supporting and electing women in San Francisco politics as well as promoting our bottom line issues.

The San Francisco Women’s Political Committee is poised to transform the political conversation throughout this busy and exciting year.
