Supervisorial Candidate Rebecca Prozan is Top Fundraiser in District 8 Race
Grassroots Base helped Prozan Raise $54K in just 2 months
San Francisco – In the race to become the next District 8 Supervisor, veteran Prosecutor Rebecca Prozan demonstrates hard work does pay off. Since Prozan declared her candidacy in late October, over 320 supporters have contributed to her campaign, placing Prozan as a clear frontrunner to replace termed out Supervisor Bevan Dufty.
The District 8 election is one of the most contested November races and early money and support is crucial. “I am humbled by our supporters’ willingness to invest in this campaign and the future of our city,” says Prozan.
Amassing $54,000 in just two months, Prozan raised more money than any other candidate in District 8.
“District 8 has yet to elect a woman for Supervisor and that woman is Rebecca Prozan,” says Dr. Ellee Koss, District 8 resident and Chair of Prozan’s Finance Committee. “Rebecca’s long history of working in the District and her reputation for getting things done makes her a strong contender for this race.”
73% of Prozan’s donors are San Francisco residents – reflecting Prozan’s deep ties to San Francisco. She learned the ins and outs of City Hall while working for Mayor Willie Brown as a Special Assistant and Liaison to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community.
Prozan served the residents of District 8 as the Liaison for the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services. She was instrumental to Supervisor Bevan Dufty’s victory in 2002 and she later served as his Legislative Assistant.
Prozan’s skills will resonate with District 8 residents. “As a veteran Prosecutor and grassroots organizer, I’ve worked to improve the lives of San Franciscans everyday but there is plenty of work to be done,” says Prozan. “Families continue to leave San Francisco, basic services need significant improvement, and we face a fiscal crisis. All the while, our leaders forget what our work is really about. It’s about making the City work for all of us.”
District 8 is comprised of the following neighborhoods: Castro, Eureka Valley, Diamond Heights, Noe Valley, Glen Park, Valencia Corridor and Duboce Triangle.
