Connie Chan has championed the Free City program, making it one of her top priorities as a supervisor. She is a strong advocate for public education and brings the ethos and leadership to congress to protect our interests and the needs of our students and communities. Supervisor Chan is also a former City College employee, which gives her an intimate understanding of our values and priorities.

All three of these candidates are concerned about affordable housing, especially the needs of educators to live and work in their communities. Approximately half of the faculty at City College live outside of San Francisco. The prevailing narrative in San Francisco is that by building as much housing as we can the market will simply regulate itself and make housing affordable for everyone. Unregulated growth without a focus on affordable housing only helps the speculators. See the Vancouver model.
