- Ron

PS - I also thought this was kind of cool

I took a break from campaigning yesterday to briefly attend a “This Old Bag” rooftop party at Medjool in the Mission. This was preview to the fundraiser the group is hosting on October 17^th to support the Breast Cancer Emergency Fund.

Here I am with one of the This Old Bag Board Members, Bahya Oumlil-Murad. Sorry about quality of my camera phone.

I read the Chuck Nevius’ column in the Chronicle yesterday about houses of ill repute in the Sunset.  It’s not a promising story, but there is a bright spot - Art Tom.

Mr. Tom deserves an “attaboy!”

Art Tom worked with David Chan, formerly a crime prevention specialist with San Francisco SAFE and now a member of my staff, to start his neighborhood watch program.  The program has not only built community it has developed leaders like Art Tom.  It just goes to show you that only together can we make our neighborhood the kind of place that we want it to be.

Art Tom and David Chan have something to teach to San Franciscans who want to ensure safe neighborhoods, that their child can attend the local school, or any other issue.  Government can help, but real change happens when we organize and build community neighbor by neighbor.

Ron

San Francisco, CA (September 6, 2008) - Congresswoman Jackie Speier has announced today that she has endorsed businessman and community advocate, Ron Dudum, for the supervisoral seat in District 4.  Dudum, who finished a close second in the 2006 election to then Supervisor Ed Jew by 53 votes, has received an unprecedented amount of neighborhood support to run in the last several months.

“Ron Dudum is a strong leader that has proven his commitment to the Sunset and Parkside communities–over and over,” said Congresswoman Jackie Speier.

“Ron grew up in the neighborhood, raised his family and ran a business in the Sunset, and he truly understands the unique needs of District 4. He has real life experience and I am confident that he will be a powerful, independent voice on the SF Board of Supervisors, Congresswoman Speier continued.”

“Congresswoman Speier has been such a tremendous advocate for our neighborhoods and common sense in government over the years; it is truly an honor to have her support for Supervisor, said Ron Dudum.”

Ron Dudum is a Sunset native and active community advocate.  Over his decades of activism in the Sunset, he has become a local fixture attending community meetings and city hearings, endearing himself to the local residents.

Although Dudum had finished a mere 53 votes behind Ed Jew in the 2006 election for Supervisor, when Ed Jew was forced to resign, Mayor Gavin Newsom ignored the will of the neighborhood and appointed a member of his own staff  who had just moved to the Sunset to be Supervisor.

Jackie Speier joins a growing list of supporters for Ron Dudum including the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council, the San Francisco Police Officers Association and many more.  Election Day is Tuesday, November 4^th.

Chinese Community Leader David Chan

Joins Ron Dudum for Supervisor Campaign

San Francisco, CA (August 23, 2008)- David Chan, one of San Francisco’s most respected Chinese community organizing leaders today announced his support for Ron Dudum for Supervisor for the Sunset in District 4. Effective immediately Chan, a former police officer, who recently stepped down from his position as a Crime Prevention Specialist with San Francisco SAFE (Safety Awareness For Everyone) will join Dudum’s campaign staff, where he is expected to serve as an advisor and Liaison to the Chinese community.

“Ron Dudum is an independent leader who will work for the true needs of our neighborhoods,” said David Chan. He’s a grassroots candidate focused on sound public policy for our neighborhood not the same old politics from downtown.”

“The Mayor’s political ambitions have victimized our neighborhoods, Chan continued. “He did a disservice to the Sunset, and particularly the Chinese community by appointing a member of his staff to the Board of Supervisors to represent us, especially when she had never before been involved in our community. Now it’s our time to elect a true representative to the Board of Supervisors.”

“David Chan has been one of those trusted people who has selflessly helped our community for many years,” stated Ron Dudum. “I am so grateful that he has joined my team for this November’s election for Supervisor.”

David Chan will host a community reception for Ron Dudum:

Date: Thursday, August 28^th

Time: 11AM
