Joel Engardio Investigates
In my work as a journalist, I asked tough questions and held government accountable. As a supervisor, I’ll do that from inside City Hall.
I’m running a forward-looking campaign to ensure our kids and grandkids can have a future in a changing San Francisco. But we should always celebrate and keep the best parts of our past. A rich history of people, ideas and styles is what makes our neighborhoods so unique.
In that spirit, my new campaign video — “Investigate” — pays homage to San Francisco in the film noir era when the reporter or private eye took on a big issue to advocate for the little guy.
I will be a supervisor who advocates for our neighborhoods and gives District 7 residents a voice at City Hall. I’m endorsed by the San Francisco Chronicle. Here’s what the Chronicle said about me:
“Engardio has the intelligence and manner that can introduce change where it fits.”
"He’s eager to tame a soaring city budget."
"He shows the potential to add seriousness and problem-solving skills to a board that could use more of each."
"On both local and citywide issues, Engardio is the best choice."
Where incumbent Supervisor Norman Yee has been complacent and invisible, I’ll be responsive and engaged with the following goals:
Investigate how City Hall spends our money. Our budget has soared to $9.6 billion. We must look at every program, measure for results and only pay for what works.
Ensure our police department has the resources it needs, while encouraging all branches of law enforcement to work together on prosecuting crimes.
Address homelessness by focusing on mental illness and only support programs that are coordinated and accountable.
Advocate for the neighborhood schools, recreation-first parks, transportation improvements and middle-income housing that will keep families in San Francisco.

Let's give District 7 neighborhoods a voice at City Hall.
