Sandra Lee Fewer Campaign Kick-Off

From the Campaign to Elect Sandra Lee Fewer

June 25, 2008

Candidate for San Francisco School Board Sandra Lee Fewer will kick off her campaign today at the historic Cathay House Restaurant, 718 California Street (at Grant), in San Francisco’s Chinatown. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. with elected officials scheduled to speak at 6:40 p.m., followed by lion dancers at 7:10 p.m.

Fewer, a fourth generation Chinese-American whose three children attended San Francisco public schools, has worked on issues of public education for over 20 years. Currently, she is the Director of Education Policy and Parent Organizing at Coleman Advocates for Youth, a leading non-profit organization in San Francisco.

“It is an honor for me to begin my campaign in Chinatown—the place where I was born,” Fewer said. “My campaign will focus on advocating for policies that raise the standards of education for all of our children. I will work to close the achievement gap for underperforming students by implementing a community-based approach to education where students, parents, teachers and school administrators share equally in the responsibility for the education of our youth.”

Fewer has been endorsed by Public Defender Jeff Adachi, President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Aaron Peskin, Supervisors Tom Ammiano, Chris Daly, Bevan Dufty, Jake McGoldrick, Ross Mirkarimi and President of the School Board Mark Sanchez, and School Board Members Jane Kim, Eric Mar, Norman Yee, and Kim-Shree Maufas.
