#SB1016, introduced last week by Sen. Blakespear, proposes modifying #WIC5200, to make it easier for members of the public to request a court-ordered mental health evaluation if they believe someone is a threat to themselves, others or is gravely disabled. https://t.co/jeaSYvYN9C

Empty commercial sites shouldn’t sit idle while families struggle to find housing. San Diego is transforming underused properties into thousands of new homes to increase supply and reduce housing costs. That’s how we build a more affordable city. https://t.co/SPYzvYee1y

SFBOS expanding drug free supportive housing 7.14.26

supervisor @RafaelMandelman 'the path we're on is disturbing. Folks living in supportive housing are consigned to deal with the most outrageous behaviors from their neighbors and the management is unable to do anything because the of government policy' @mattdorsey

After more than two years of work, my Drug-Free Supportive Housing legislation passed on a 7-4 vote — finally moving San Francisco beyond drug-tolerant mandates for those who want drug-free options!

Thanks so much to my colleagues:

Kelly Davis was a fearless journalist who challenged institutions, amplified overlooked voices, and made San Diego better. My condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, and all whose lives she touched. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/6cSsSOsWcQ

[Laura Wingard @laura_wingard]

Amazing journalist whose investigative reporting made San Diego a better place by exposing government neglect and wrongdoing, particularly in San Diego County jails. May you rest in peace Kelly.

[Rep. Scott Peters @RepScottPeters]

Team Peters has lost a talented and tenacious member of our alumni family after a years-long battle with cancer. Kelly Davis was an award-winning journalist who served as our Press Secretary from 2023-2024.

For several years before she joined the office, we admired Kelly’s skill in writing stories that made a difference for our region – about homelessness, housing affordability, and criminal justice reform. Investigative reporting was her calling, and her work led to new state laws that have made California a more just and transparent place for everyone. It was an honor that she came to work with us. We appreciated the history, depth, and context she brought to the role of Press Secretary, as well as the kind, compassionate demeanor she brought to the team. We learned from her quiet maturity. She taught us more about how journalism and storytelling work and we taught her a little about how government ought to function; we gained invaluable insights from each other. Today, we’re especially remembering our staff retreat in Washington, D.C. that year. She was a lot of fun on that trip! When she felt called back to journalism, we understood and knew that she would continue to shine a light on injustice and give a voice to those who needed it. She did just that for as long as she could.

Our community has lost a trusted source of information and a fierce advocate for change. We will miss her deeply and send Kelly’s loved ones our warmest condolences.
