Joseph is enthusiastic about running in the March 3, 2020, primary election for the San Francisco County Republican Central Committee (SF RCCC), Assembly District 17.
Joseph successfully advocated for equal treatment and due process for those affected by inequitable Title IX campus disciplinary processes. His work on Capitol Hill has contributed to Title IX policy recommendations and worked to negotiate due process legislation across the country. He continues to collaborate with think tanks, law professors, and lawyers on higher education due process and free speech issues; and make trips to State legislatures, including California, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
San Francisco needs diverse leadership, primarily conservative thought, and ideas that reflect the demographics of San Francisco County. To live in San Francisco at this time is to experience every day the cryptic phrase that George W. Bush once used to describe the invasion of Iraq: “Catastrophic success.” The economy here is booming, but no one feels especially good about it. When the cost of living is taken into account, billionaire-brimming California ranks as the most poverty-stricken state, with a fifth of the population struggling to get by. Since 2010, migration out of California has surged.
The basic problem is the steady collapse of livability. Across San Francisco, traffic, and homelessness is a developing-world nightmare. Child care and education seem impossible for all but the wealthiest. The problems of affordable housing and homelessness have surpassed all superlatives — what was a crisis is now an emergency that feels like a dystopian showcase of American inequality.
Honest, confident, and conservative leadership will change this.
