Ross Mirkarimi
Candidate San Francisco Board of Supervisors District Five

Ross Mirkarimi has lived in San Francisco for 20 years where he's been a tireless force for progressive change. He has led legislative efforts and campaigns to make City Hall more accountable to the people, worked to put underdog progressive candidates in elected office and stopped corporate abuse against seniors and low-income families.

Never succumbing to convention but committed to influencing change from within, Mirkarimi enrolled in the San Francisco Police Academy, became class president, and has since, worked at the District Attorney's Office, dedicating most of his time to stopping white collar crime.

Ross was instrumental in the recent passage of Prop. H, the police accountability initiative. Providing hope and inspiration for the politically disenchanted, Ross co-founded the California Green Party over 14 years ago. As an environmental analyst, Ross led two public health investigations (with the Harvard Study Team ) inside Iraq to chronicle the Persian Gulf War's impacts on civilians.

Mirkarimi's campaign has been endorsed by the California Nurses Association, Deputy Sheriffs' Association, Supervisor Matt Gonzalez (President, San Francisco Board of Supervisors), Commissioner Mark Sanchez (San Francisco Board of Education), former Mayor Art Agnos and Former District Attorney Terence Hallinan to name a few.
