Progressive activist Julian Davis will officially declare his candidacy for District 5 Supervisor this week. File photo by Luke Thomas.<\/p><\/div>\n

May 20, 2012, 11:57 am.<\/p>\n

Longtime San Francisco progressive organizer Julian Davis will officially declare this week his bid to unseat appointed District 5 Supervisor Christina Olague, Fog City Journal<\/em> can confirm.<\/p>\n

Davis, 33, President of the Booker T. Washington Community Service Center, said he is running to “keep this city a vibrant home for the everyday people that make San Francisco real.”<\/p>\n

“San Francisco should always be a home for all walks of life, a place for artists and innovators, students and seniors, immigrants and working people who make up the unique texture of our city,” Davis added.<\/p>\n

At a gathering in Hayes Valley on Saturday with as many as 60 supporters in attendance, Davis explained his vision for the future of District 5 and the City, a vision that places a higher priority on people while protecting communities from excessive development.\u00a0 The event was attended by Clarence Jones<\/a>, former counsel, confidante and “I have a dream” draft speech writer for Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/p>\n

“In building any political movement, you must have a candidate of impeccable political integrity,” Jones said of his endorsement of Davis.<\/p>\n

Davis, a graduate of Brown University and U.C. Hastings College of the Law, is a Bay Area native who has been living and working as an activist and organizer in San Francisco since 2002. He has worked in government and the non-profit and legal sectors on community development, civil rights, social justice and environmental causes. He is well-known in progressive circles having worked on several candidate and ballot measure campaigns including John Avalos for Mayor (2011), Jane Kim for Supervisor (2010), Prop H (2008, Clean Energy Act) and Chris Daly for Supervisor (2006).\u00a0 He also led efforts to free jailed journalist Josh Wolf from coercive confinement in 2007.<\/p>\n

Olague, who self-identifies as progressive, has raised eyebrows since her appointment to the D5 seat by Mayor Ed Lee, an appointment that followed her co-chairship of the controversial “Run, Ed, Run” campaign<\/a>.\u00a0 Though she opposed the redevelopment of Park Merced (against the wishes of Lee), Olague most recently voted in support<\/a> of developing 134 units of multi-million dollar luxury condos on the waterfront at 8 Washington. As an organizer for the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition in the 90s, Olague opposed similar developments.<\/p>\n

She also recently co-sponsored legislation with Supervisor Scott Wiener to weaken historic preservation protections, a proposal that has been met with stiff opposition from preservationists, the Tenant’s Union and the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Olague also raised questions about her political loyalties when she provided the pivotal sixth vote in co-sponsoring a ballot measure in November that aims to repeal Ranked Choice Voting<\/a> – a progressive electoral reform enacted in 2004 – from all citywide races.<\/p>\n

Considered the most politically progressive of the City\u2019s 11 districts, District 5 comprises the Haight-Ashbury, Western Addition, Hayes Valley, Inner Sunset, Japan Town, and Lower Pacific Heights. Davis is the eighth candidate to enter the D5 contest. He joins African American Art & Culture Complex Executive Director London Breed, attorney Daniel Everett, Gill Francis (retired), small-business owner Daniel Landry, non-profit director Andrew Resignato, College Board Trustee John Rizzo, Supervisor Olague and small-business owner Thea Selby in the race that will be decided in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
