GrowSF stands with Ann Hsu, Lainie Motamedi, and Lisa Weissman-Ward for San Francisco School Board.

Even if you don't have kids in the public school system, you should still vote for these three highly competent women. A society must decide, together, that education is important and ensure that we are not failing our neighbors' children.

Mayor London Breed first appointed these three candidates after an overwhelming recall of Alison Collins, Gabriela López, and Faauuga Moliga. We must defend our victory in this recall by standing with Ann, Lainie, and Lisa.

Not only do Ann, Lainie, and Lisa bring competence to the School Board, they also bring a strong focus on academic achievement and fiscal responsibility. And, importantly, they are not career politicians. They care about our kids getting a good education, not their own political careers.

We must prevent recalled commissioner Gabriela López from returning to the School Board. She is running for her old seat, which she was removed from by 72% of San Franciscans. It may seem like she has no chance of winning, but due to how this position is elected, candidates don't need to win over 50% — they just need to be one of the top three vote-getters. In her first election in 2018, Gabriela López only obtained 13% of the vote.

We can't reward Gabriela López's hubris and delusion. We MUST stand with our students. We MUST vote for Ann Hsu, Lainie Motamedi, and Lisa Weissman-Ward.
