Jackie is a Mission renter, public bank organizer, former city commissioner and educator, and climate and environmental justice advocate. She got her start in the #NoDAPL movement by organizing for divestment from the Wall Street banks financing the Dakota Access Pipeline. In 2017, she co-founded the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition to start the nation's first city-owned bank to support small businesses, affordable housing, and renewable energy. She taught at San Francisco State University in the College of Ethnic Studies and has been the co-director of a national climate organization that focuses on holding Wall Street banks accountable to climate goals.
She served as Commissioner and Vice Chair of the San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission (SFLAFCo), overseeing Clean Power SF. She is currently Co-Director of Stop the Money Pipeline, a national coalition and campaign focused on disrupting the flow of money to fossil fuel companies where she’s worked on climate financial regulation.
She's the proud granddaughter of Mexican immigrants and Native American grandparents and a citizen of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota, with Two Kettle Lakota and Hidatsa descent. She was raised by a single mother and graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelors of Arts in Public Policy and a Masters of Arts in Sociology.
- Jackie's not bought by special interests. Her campaign is funded by working people, which ensures she is accountable to the residents of District 9.
- Jackie has real plans for District 9's biggest issues: public safety, affordable housing, homelessness, addiction, and so much more.
- She's met with more than 100 leaders and community groups across our district to generate extensive platforms. Housing first for the homeless, expanding mental health beds, housing 1,800 homeless SFUSD students, expanding renter protections, defending immigrant families, and more.
Affordable housing, tenant protections, homelessness, public transportation, education equity, and environmental and climate justice.
BART Director Lateefah Simon, who is able to remain firm in her principles and also get work done for the people.
Independent of special interests, responsive to constituents, and ability to work with colleagues across the spectrum to get things done.
Core responsibilities for the District 9 supervisor are small picture things like constituent services such as sidewalk cleaning, trash cans, crosswalks, potholes, and re-paving, big picture things like putting an affordable housing bond on the ballot, advocating for tenant protections, working with school district officials to support students, getting people off the streets and into housing or treatment, oversight and auditing of departments and contracts, and holding the executive branch accountable.
I've struggled with housing insecurity, and it's thanks to the amazing community I have built in District 9 and San Francisco at large, that took me in when I was down on my luck, that I am here now.
California Nurses Association, United Educators of San Francisco (#1), Healthcare & Longterm Caregivers (SEIU 2015, SEIU-CIR, & NUHW (#1)), Bernal Heights Democratic Club, Small Business Forward, SF Tenants Union, SF Bicycle Coalition (#1), Moms Demand Action Gun Sense (Candidate Distinction), Community Tenants Association, Working Families Party (#1), Harvey Milk LGTBQ Democratic Club (#1), SF Young Democrats, Friends of the Earth Action, SF Climate Emergency Coalition,SF Rising Action Fund, UPS Workers (Teamsters Local 2785), UC Workers (UPTE CWA Local 9119), SEIU 1021, IFPTE Local 21, AFT 2121, Rose Pak Democratic Club, DSA-SF, SF Berniecrats, Evolve California, Advance Native Political Leadership Action Fund, LPAC, Run for Something
San Francisco is rampant with corruption and needs someone like Jackie who is independent from the special interests that have captured City Hall. As a commissioner, she's seen city officials approve multi-million dollar contracts without so much as batting an eyelash. Jackie believes in transparency and accountability for every dollar spent in city government and will advocate for stronger contract auditing protocols and regular hearings of department heads and the Mayor's office.

Jackie Fielder is an Indigenous (Two Kettle Lakota and Hidatsa), Mexicana, and queer non-profit organizer and educator. After earning both a BA in Public Policy and a Masters in Sociology from Stanford University in four years, Jackie joined the Indigenous resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline. In 2017, she participated in a delegation of Indigenous Women to discuss Indigenous Rights and sustainable investments with European Financial Institutions including the Ethics Commission of the Norwegian Oil Fund, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and UBS. She also ran the San Francisco No on H campaign to preserve the power of the Police Commission, served as a board member of the Young Women's Freedom Center, and co-founded the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition. Despite opposition from Wall Street Lobbyists, Fielder organized to successfully pass Public Bank Act AB 857 through the state legislature. She is currently in the process of passing a local ordinance to create the first municipal bank in the country. Fielder also teaches "Race, Women, and Class" at San Francisco State University's College of Ethnic Studies.
Jackie Fielder is the only woman in the race, the only person of color, the only candidate who has pledged not to accept donations from fossil fuel companies, law enforcement associations, luxury real estate developers, or billionaires, and the only candidate to take the #HomesGuarantee pledge. She is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes.
- A Green New Deal for California
- Affordable Housing and Homelessness
- Economic & Racial Justice
California is behind our goal to slash greenhouse gas emissions an additional 40% by 2030. As Senator, I will work with advocacy groups, policy experts, and researchers that are already working on a Green New Deal and a No-PG&E bailout, while also bringing in labor unions, affordable housing groups, transportation policy experts, renewable energy businesses, regenerative farmers, social justice groups, and people Indigenous to California to ensure workers' rights, Indigenous self-determination, soil restoration, transportation, and deeply affordable and public housing are part and parcel of the plans.
California is known for being the worst place in the nation to rent or plan to buy a home. I will champion repealing Costa-Hawkins, the Ellis Act, and Article 34, reforming Prop 13, and I will give people of marginalized communities seats at the table in shaping state-level land use & tenants' rights legislation. I also intend to cut wasteful spending on law enforcement and criminal justice and divert these funds into more effective solutions, such as housing, mental health services, and substance abuse treatment.
I will also fight for statewide single-payer healthcare, $20 an hour minimum wage statewide, free quality childcare and public education from pre-kindergarten through college, increased public school educator salaries, and expanded labor protections.
The three people I look up to most are my friends and mentors, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, MacArthur Fellow and BART Director Lateefah Simon, and Sacred Stone founder and historian LaDonna Brave Bull Allard. These women have the courage to fight for racial justice, Indigenous rights, and the planet.
Elected officials need to be accountable to the people they represent. I'm running because my opponent has repeatedly contradicted the voters of our district. When we voted to preserve the power of the police commission, he sided with the Republican Party and lost. When we voted to place a small tax on the largest corporations to solve homelessness, he sided with the corporations and lost. Now, he's trying to revive his unpopular zoning policy, which has already been shot down twice, despite valid criticisms and urgent concerns from the people impacted in his own district. It's time for a State Senator who stands with, rather than against, the people.
Alaska by Maggie Rogers
I was raised for most of my life primarily by my single mother in a low-income neighborhood. I came out later in my life--in 2016--probably due to internalized homophobia, being raised Catholic. I graduated from Stanford with two degrees, and have worked multiple jobs, but was housing insecure for some months of this year because the rent is too high in San Francisco.
I believe experience is important to the extent that people understand what can actually be accomplished in the office they are seeking, and how the political structures uphold themselves. I helped pass the Public Banking Act AB 857 in the State Legislature this year, so I understand how a bill moves through various hands and gets amended by compromises and negotiations. I believe too much experience, however, entraps an elected official into a web of transactional politics and favors that end up reducing the boldness of the legislator's original vision. That is why I believe in term limits. Lastly, experience means nothing without vision and principles. I believe in my principles so much that I am not willing to accept contributions from powerful interests that don't agree with them. I have refused contributions from the real estate lobby, fossil fuel companies, Pacific Gas & Electric, gigantic telecommunications corporations, private prisons, tech companies that contract with ICE and CBP, and their executives. I am also refusing money from billionaires because I believe being a billionaire is immoral in this day and age. I took this pledge in order to be accountable to people, rather than corporate interests.
Climate change is the most urgent issue facing our planet. We have barely a decade to cut carbon emissions by 40% and California has so far made little progress. In order to take this threat seriously, we need to pass a Green New Deal for the State and make a Just Transition to a zero carbon economy by 2030.
Yes. Writing and passing legislation is a team effort. As co-founder and lead organizer of the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition, I have a strong belief in the necessity of consensus building by developing relationships and trust with community leaders and local elected officials -- including people I don't always agree with. Through a long, collaborative process, we're close to creating the first municipal bank in the nation.
