Problem solver. Business leader. Community manager

San Francisco proves that one-party rule doesn't deliver utopia — it delivers addiction, chaos, and massive deficits.

Positions

Treatment-First, Shelter-First

The misery San Franciscans see on our streets isn't primarily a housing problem — it's an addiction and mental health crisis, and pretending otherwise has cost us billions while making the problem worse. I'll fight for a treatment-first approach: expanded residential treatment and shelter capacity, real accountability for accepting it, and an end to policies that make San Francisco a magnet for drug tourists. True compassion means recovery, not endless enablement. The nonprofit industrial complex and one-party enablers won't challenge the failed status quo. I will.

Better Schools Through Choice

SFUSD has a near-monopoly on free education in this city, and families are voting with their feet — enrollment keeps falling while math and reading outcomes lag. Competition raises standards everywhere else; education is no exception. I'll champion approving more high-quality charter schools and fair access to facilities, so every family in District 2 has a real choice — not just families who can afford private tuition.

Responsible Spending

San Francisco's budget has roughly doubled in a decade while core services declined. That's not a revenue problem — it's an accountability problem. As a business executive, I know what operational discipline looks like. I'll demand independent audits, sunset programs that can't demonstrate results, and put public safety, clean streets, and infrastructure ahead of bureaucratic pet projects.

Nicholas "Nick" Berg

Nick Berg has called San Francisco home for more than 20 years. He lives in Lower Pacific Heights with his wife, Mary

Nick is an executive at a property management company serving over 100 community associations in San Francisco. His day job is the unglamorous work of making things run: budgets that balance, vendors that deliver, problems that get fixed instead of studied. He believes City Hall could use a lot more of that.

Nick serves as the Chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party and is a Board Member of the Briones Society, a club advancing a practical, moderate conservatism built for cities and the people who live in them.
