Aaron Peskin's political journey began with his 2000 campaign, aimed at intriguing voters to 'Annoy Willie, Vote Peskin.' Over 24 years, he became known as a staunch advocate for progressive politics, serving as a board president and championing neighborhood protections against corporate interests. With a prolific legislative record, he sponsored over 3,300 bills and voted over 34,500 times, reflecting a deep commitment to local governance. His recent mayoral campaign positioned him as a 'neighborhood mayor' and a skilled policy expert, dedicated to community welfare amidst the challenges posed by wealthy real estate developers.
Peskin's tenure as supervisor has been marked by a progressive resurgence in local politics and a commitment to neighborhood advocacy against corporate interests.
Throughout his 24 years in office, Peskin has proven to be a thorn in the side of mayors and their wealthy allies, earning a reputation as a hard-nosed dealmaker.
