About Ross:

Ross Mirkarimi has lived in San Francisco for 20 years where he's been a tireless force for progressive change. He has led legislative efforts and campaigns to make City Hall more accountable to the people, worked to put underdog progressive candidates in elected office, and stopped corporate abuse against seniors and low-income families.

Never succumbing to convention but committed to influencing change from within, Ross enrolled in the SF Police Academy, became class president, and has since, worked at the District Attorney's Office, dedicating most of his time to stopping white collar crime.

Ross was instrumental in the recent passage of Prop. H, the police accountability initiative. Providing hope and inspiration for the politically disenchanted, Ross co-founded the California Green Party over 14 years ago. As an environmental analyst, Ross led two public health investigations (with the Harvard Study Team ) inside Iraq to chronicle the Persian Gulf War's impacts on civilians.

As a legislative aide in City Hall, Ross helped usher the passage of critical legislation: Reestablishment of District Elections, Campaign Spending Limits, Removal of the Central Freeway, Enactment of Transgender Rights, and the Creation of the Environmental Department. In 2001, he directed the Public Power campaign, designed to give San Franciscans a greater voice in their energy future while stopping PG&E's ratepayer rip-off.
