Summary

When I am elected as mayor, I will enforce federal laws to protect all people in San Francisco. We will not shelter criminals. We will not allow criminals to abuse our Sancturay city resources. We will continue to protect our hard working families. We will enforce people power to run our government. 

Our people power has been taking away from some of the government officials who associate with criminal activities. In another words, our City and County of San Francisco government has been taking charge by come of the unfit elected officials and department heads or government representatives. Our rights have been violated! 

In 2017, we have more than 20 publlc hearings, we the public, people fought against recreational cannabis stores open next to facilities that serves minors under 18 years old. I was one of the two government employees fighting with mayor's staff and all 11 Board of Supervisors, to respect people's voice, children, youth, parents and grandparents' rights. Yet, our recreational cannabis regulations passed with loose restrictions. Later, we, the public found out, all of the Board of Supervisors received a lot of donation directly and indirectly from cannabis operators, that we, the public lost our faither in our public representatives! Many of the Board of Supervisors were partying with cannabis operators while, we the public fought so hard to say no to recreational cannabis stores in our residential area. With more than 85% within 300 feet, 600 feet and 1000 feet said no, no to recreational cannabis, but it passed. Our rights were taking away from some of the government officals. Now, it is the time to put people power back to city hall. 

I was nominated by the San Francisco Coalition of Good Neighborhoods to run this mayoral race. Our campaign run by all volunteers, no pay staff. We are the people who care for our city's well beings. We, now asking you to have a heart for our city. Vote Ellen Lee Zhou for Mayor 2018. Together, we will reform our government. We will fight off government corruption! We will get our public dollars back to our residents. We will enforce law and order. We will reward good behaivor and we will punish the bad behavior. We need to re-build our quality of life back. Thank you. May God bless San Francisco. Vote Ellen Lee Zhou for mayor 2018!
