Rooted in District 2. Committed to San Francisco.
A proud father raising young kids in District 2 with his wife Sarah, Stephen came into office with a clear agenda and spent his first year delivering on it. Safer streets. A better environment for small businesses. A city government that actually follows through.
He brings experience from both the public and private sectors to the Board of Supervisors, but what drives him every day is simple: making District 2 work for the people who live here.
The momentum is real. Stephen is just getting started.
FROM CLEAN STREETS TO DATA-DRIVEN Solutions
Stephen has spent his career in public service and the private sector solving complex problems. He started in the New York City Mayor's Office working on clean streets and emergency response, then came to San Francisco as the City's Innovation Director, where he focused on making city services faster, smarter, and more accountable. His private sector work in infrastructure investing and civic technology hammered home the same approach: cut through bureaucracy, focus on results, and keep the people you serve at the center.
"A better San Francisco begins with getting the basics right."
