Endorsing Scott Wiener for State Senate
As a 501(c)(4), the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition* makes political endorsements, helping to ensure San Francisco is a better place to live, work, and bike. Our endorsements process is led by our 15-person board of directors that is directly elected by our membership.
Senator Scott Wiener has proven himself to be a champion for bicycle infrastructure. His questionnaire answers do an excellent job highlighting the work that makes him our best choice for state senate.
“I’m proud to have authored an aggressive, ground-breaking law (SB 288/SB 922) to speed up the construction of sustainable transportation projects. Specifically, this law creates a broad CEQA exemption for bike and pedestrian safety projects, as well as rapid bus and light rail projects. Because of this law, Car-Free JFK was exempt from CEQA and protected from litigation. The law is also speeding up other street conversions to non-car uses. I regularly collaborate with SFMTA and relevant agencies to identify legislative solutions to speed up the completion of critical transportation infrastructure improvement projects.”
You can read the answers from all candidates to our questionnaire here. For any questions regarding our endorsements, please reach out to the SF Bicycle Coalition Board of Directors at board@sfbike.org.
