KTVU: Who are the candidates vying for Nancy Pelosi's seat in Congress?
“Other notable candidates include Democrat Marie Hurabiell.
The lawyer, entrepreneur and community activist describes herself as a multi-generational San Franciscan and a common-sense Democrat.
The former Republican left the private sector in 2020 to establish the non-profit ConnectedSF (https://www.connectedsf.com/), "a citywide organization focused on pragmatic solutions, accountability, and results," according to her campaign website.
Hurabiell said in recent years, she’s played a key role in the political shift in the city, with actions including helping with the recall of Chesa Boudin (https://www.ktvu.com/tag/people/chesa-boudin) from the district attorney’s office.
She said she was an early and outspoken backer of Daniel Lurie's mayoral campaign, "backing law and order leadership before it was politically popular," according to her website.
Hurabiell was also invited to the April 1 debate, where she highlighted why she joined the race.
What they're saying:
"I'm not an elected official. I have been doing this because I care about this city. Six-and-a-half years, I have been on the ground floor of every major positive movement in this city," she said.
"There's a couple things I want to attack early on. Affordability is one of them, and public safety is the other, bringing back dollars from Washington D.C. to hire more police to enhance our public safety," said Hurabiell.”
