Hmm, seems like this election cycle has seen more activity than ever before from trans candidates running for elective office. Since you know I believe it's past time we started getting our own peeps elected to public office, I'm proud to make you aware of another trans person you'll be scouring the November 2 election news for the results of her political race.
The folks in the Bay Area already know who she is, but say hello rest of the nation and loyal TransGriot readers to Theresa Sparks.
If the name sounds familiar to you, she was the former President of the San Francisco Police Commission board in addition to being very active in the local community there.
She's running to represent District 6 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and is jumping off her campaign for that position with a kickoff event starting at 10 AM-12 Noon PDT at the Passion Café.
The address is 28 6th Street in San Francisco, CA.
Theresa commented on her FB page about her campaign: 'This campaign is about making history and more about helping to move San Francisco forward. This campaign is about jobs, the economy and helping to rebuild the City without sacrificing the values that make San Francisco great.'
You can keep up with her campaign with the Sparks for 6 FB page or her website.
Good luck Theresa and may you add the title of Supervisor to your list of accomplishments on November 2.
