New Sheriff in Town?

Photo essay: On the campaign trail with Ross Mirkarimi

by Nazy Kaviani
22-Oct-2011
 

Earlier this month, my friends Luna Shad, Mehran, and I went to see San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi in his office in San Francisco’s City Hall. Ross (Rostam) is running for Sheriff in the upcoming November 2011 election. Though he enjoys a lot of important endorsements, including the current San Francisco Sheriff, Mike Hennessey, and the that of the Democratic Party, the competition is tight and tough. Ross has called San Francisco home for 27 years. A graduate of San Francisco's Police Academy, Ross served nine years as an armed San Francisco District Attorney Investigator. Elected to the Board of Supervisors in 2004, he served twice as Chair of the Public Safety Committee and passed landmark community policing, police reform and re-entry legislation. Ross lives in the Western Addition with his wife, Eliana Lopez and their 2-year old son. See campaign video clip for Ross' campaign. This is the website for his campaign: Rossforsheriff.org. Ross Mirkarimi for Sheriff headquarters is located at: 219 Seventh Street at Howard, San Francisco, CA 94103; contact phone number: 415-690-8781

"Click"

Ross Mirkarimi's competence, as well as his interest in "showcasing the history and culture of Iran" made me "click" and donate!

Thanks for a very informative presentation.

I'm getting confused in here

All these years me thought Shazdeh was the sheriff of San Farnsisco, now this Aghay Rostam is going to be the sheriff? What's going on? Mirza ver are you?

Simple, Accurate and Informative

I believe this report represents iranian dotcom at its best. Reading and following reports such as this helps the positive energy flow inside us once again.

Having a progressive Iranian American as the Sheriff of a major U.S. city is going to help us as a community in the entire U.S. We know he'll be there for us if the going gets tough due to the new allegations against Iran and implicating an Iranian American in the 'terror plot'.

Thanks all for the report, great job.

I met Ross in the last Norooz event. He seems to be a great politician.  I would have voted for him if I lived in San Francisco.  I hope he wins.  It would be a plus for our community.

The pictures look great.
