As Mayor, I will use my experience to make San Francisco a place where small businesses can thrive.

The most important thing a mayor does is hire talented people to run the city.

The mayor has got to work closely with a wide variety of people, his city council, state legislature, governor, business community, labor community, president and the congress in order to be able to do this.

What the mayors care about is, 'How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint?'

As Mayor, I will lead city government, businesses, and community groups to support innovative projects that will make San Francisco streets and public places vibrant and healthy.

We need a mayor who knows how to balance a budget, who understands the urgency of delivering all the services that a great city needs, who understand the need of working families.

I am convinced that your Mayor must take the leadership role in education too.

We want the city back on its feet. We want to have jobs for the city.

That's what mayors do. They lobby Congress to provide resources for their city.

Mayors are leaders, doers. We get things done, and we are moving America's cities forward.
