Hillary Ronen

What major steps would you take or support to address the digital divide in San Francisco?

Aside from municipal broadband, we should build upon the success of the schools in terms of ensuring all students have a computer and hot spot to participate in schooling by making this equal access to technology permanent.

Do you support the reallocation of SFPD funds? If so, what city programs/departments would you like to see the funds reallocated to?

Yes - primarily the Department of Public Health to address mental health, addiction, and homelessness challenges.

To address the City’s budget deficit, what is more important: generating more revenue or cutting costs? Why?

Both but we must generate more funds to fill in the gaps left by Federal Tax cuts and disinvestment in basic human needs.
