I wasn’t the only one.
He said repeatedly- we are building a movement. We do not win by winning the White House alone.

In my six races, I have never been endorsed by the Police Officers Assocation.
In 2014, months before the murder of Michael Brown in August, the POA offered to endorse all incumbent supervisors running for re-election including myself.
I was the only Supervisor to turn it down.
