Meet the District 1 candidates: ‘What have you already done to help District 1?’

Connie Chan

Incumbent District 1 Supervisor

The first day I took office in 2021, I have been hard at work delivering result-driven solutions to help our families succeed.

As Budget Committee Chair, I pushed for transparency and accountability at City Hall. I fought for food security programs for seniors and families. I championed free summer camp for K-8 public school students. I advocated 100% affordable housing for seniors. I passed legislation for rent relief for tenants and small property landlords who lost income during the pandemic, and I supported fee waivers and grant funding for struggling small businesses.

As neighbors, we all help the neighborhood in our own way. Sweeping the street and clearing curb drains during heavy rains to prevent flooding are just a few ways I have contributed to the neighborhood. However, the most effective thing I have done in the Richmond District is working with San Francisco 311 to have items fixed, graffiti removed, trash and furniture picked up, potholes patched and street signs and lights repaired.

These may seem minor or trivial, but when one drives down a neighborhood street and sees everything in order and clean it gives one a sense of accomplishment.

Jen Nossokoff

Vice President of a healthcare company and physician assistant

I brought the first city-sponsored COVID-19 vaccine clinic in District 1 to the Richmond Senior Center, directly addressing public health needs. My engagement in beautification and safety projects, such as the Eighth Avenue Greenway and JFK Promenade, demonstrates my commitment to improving our neighborhood’s environment and ensuring the safety of our children.

These efforts are examples of the tangible, positive changes I will champion for our community’s livability and quality of life.

Jeremiah Boehner

Marketing specialist

I’ve worked to remove various encampments that pop up in the D1. Chased down several people who were graffiti buildings. I’ve helped a handful of merchants with various issues from marketing basics to helping get Recology to pick up their trash. Running for D1 is the next step so I can actually make a change.
