PURPOSE

The purpose of this organization is to engage in candidate electioneering and take other political action to promote public policies which will promote responsible growth and rational community development in San Francisco, California.

SFCRG provides a vehicle for collective participation in support of candidates for public office who share the view and values on issues of importance to our members.
