November 2022: Dual Endorsement of Matt Dorsey and Honey Mahogany for District 6

/

San Francisco League of Conservation Voters is dual endorsing Honey Mahogany and Supervisor Matt Dorsey. District 6 will have a strong environmental leader, regardless of who wins.

We asked both candidates about affordable housing, walkable and bikeable streets, public transit, green energy policies, water sustainability and conservation, zero waste, and their respective environmental vision for the City. Mahogany and Dorsey share similar outlooks on these environmental issues: they support public transportation, a car-free JFK and Great Highway, building decarbonization, and increased housing at all levels. Although both candidates support the idea of a vacancy tax, Dorsey is skeptical that the vacancy tax as proposed under Prop M will have a significant impact on housing availability. (See SFLCV’s endorsement of Prop M for more details here.)

Their shared values go on. Both candidates support safer street infrastructure, such as bike lanes, bulb-outs, ramps, slow streets, and working with the state to pilot automated speed enforcement. True to her background in community organizing, Mahogany believes in engaging stakeholders before finalizing concrete plans. Dorsey believes that the Climate Action Plan (CAP) needs to be funded and implemented in order to realize a wide range of environmental priorities.

Even with these similarities, each candidate offers different strengths and experiences. Mahogany has years of experience in the community and has built strong relationships with neighbors, activists, and labor. Dorsey has worked at City Hall for many years, effectively navigating the legislative process and engaging with various city departments.

Though they have differences on other issues, SFLCV believes either candidate would be a strong environmental advocate for District 6 and the City and County of San Francisco.
