If you ever think the odds are too low, the road too long, victory too far gone, remember this guy.
He worked his ass off and lost 3 elections in a row, got up a 4th time, knocked on 14,000 doors, and just did the impossible.

I cannot emphasize enough that the
#COPTAX
(SF's Proposition B) is a scam and a lie that will damage public safety and the city's budget.
Whether you want more police officers or fewer, you should vote NO.
But it’s worse than a “do-nothing” measure. Prop B is a mess — a carelessly crafted, legally dubious end-run around constitutional restrictions on dedicated “Special Tax” funding. That means it would risk costly lawsuits — which would delay police funding for years. (4/5)
