Rex Ridgeway: "I saw firsthand the impact of Joelβs advocacy. This was a victory for all of San Francisco β and Joel Engardio helped deliver it."
Thank you, Rexππ½

Commentary: βJoel Engardio Must NOT Be Recalledβ
I support Joel because Iβve experienced the kind of leader he is β inclusive, accessible, responsive, and above all, visionary. He genuinely listens, seeks collaboration and brings people together β¦
"Joel Engardio is not perfect. No elected official is. But he is present, thoughtful and committed to a shared vision of the Sunset as a vibrant, inclusive and livable neighborhood.
This recall isnβt about accountability. Itβs about division. And I reject it."
