School Board Recall
School Board Recall

School Board Recall

Our kids were suffering and Joel stood up for them. Joel helped lead the recall of an incompetent school board. He wrote the case for recall and organized drive-thru signature gathering events. The local media said Joel’s work was “key to the school board recall’s smashing success.”

Public Safety

Public Safety

Joel leads Stop Crime SF. Joel pursued a public records request that forced District Attorney Chesa Boudin to reveal case outcome data he did not make available to victims. Joel supported the Boudin recall because we deserve a reform-minded district attorney who is willing to prosecute serious crime, operate in full transparency, and always put victims first.

Stop Asian Hate

Stop Asian Hate

Joel’s group Stop Crime SF ran a campaign to stop anti-Asian discrimination. The increased attacks on Asian seniors is personal for Joel because his in-laws are Chinese. Joel supports criminal justice reform. For it to succeed, residents must feel safe and victims cannot be ignored.
