The San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (SFDSA) is proud to announce its endorsement of Roberto Hernandez for District 9 Supervisor. This endorsement is rooted in our shared commitment to improving public safety, addressing homelessness, and supporting small businesses—all of which are critical issues facing District 9 and the broader San Francisco community.

A Champion for Public Safety

Roberto Hernandez has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing public safety. His community-based public safety plan emphasizes the importance of trust between law enforcement and residents. By fostering better coordination with first responders, Roberto aims to implement measures that will increase public safety in the district. This approach aligns closely with the SFDSA’s mission to protect and serve the people of San Francisco while building stronger relationships with the communities we serve.

President Ken Lomba of the SFDSA expressed his support, stating, “Improving public safety requires leadership that understands the unique challenges of our communities. Roberto Hernandez has demonstrated a clear commitment to making our neighborhoods safer through practical and effective strategies. His focus on fostering trust and cooperation between law enforcement and residents will be instrumental in achieving a safer District 9.”

Tackling Homelessness and Public Health

Homelessness and public health are deeply interconnected issues that require comprehensive, compassionate solutions. Roberto Hernandez has pledged to move unhoused residents out of tents and RVs and into supportive housing with wraparound services. Additionally, his commitment to addressing the fentanyl epidemic through on-demand treatment services and holding those responsible for distribution accountable is critical to improving the safety and well-being of our communities. The SFDSA stands with Roberto in his efforts to create a healthier, safer environment for all residents of District 9.

Supporting Small Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of San Francisco’s economy, particularly in vibrant neighborhoods like those found in District 9. Roberto Hernandez understands the challenges that local business owners face and has proposed practical solutions, including reducing bureaucratic red tape, increasing grant funding, and addressing the critical issues of street cleanliness and vacant storefronts. The SFDSA recognizes that thriving small businesses contribute to the overall safety and prosperity of our city, and we are confident that Roberto’s leadership will foster a more supportive environment for entrepreneurs in District 9.

The SFDSA’s endorsement of Roberto Hernandez is based on our shared values and our belief that he is the best candidate to address the complex issues facing District 9. His comprehensive plans for public safety, homelessness, public health, and small business support reflect a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in our community. We are proud to stand with Roberto Hernandez and urge the residents of District 9 to support him in the upcoming election.

Let’s work together to build a safer, stronger, and more vibrant District 9 with Roberto Hernandez as our Supervisor.
