An independent, community-based leader, Leland Yee has never been part of the old guard political machine. Leland Yee grew up in San Francisco, attended the city's public schools and has a lifelong record of achievement as an independent leader on the School Board, Board of Supervisors, and in the State Assembly.
He is proud to be endorsed by San Francisco's new generation of leaders, including State Senator Carole Migden, District Attorney Kamala Harris, Treasurer Jose Cisneros, and Supervisors Sean Elsbernd, Jake McGoldrick, Gerardo Sandoval, Bevan Dufty and Board President Aaron Peskin.
