Paula C. Fiscal, Director of Governmental Affairs, stated, Gavin Newsom is the only one who will bring back respectability to San Francisco. He understands that maintaining the quality of life in San Francisco is extremely important to our Latino Community. We need a Mayor that will help promote San Francisco and bring in more business and construction that will create jobs, promote affordable housing, safe transportation, and maintain our safe, accessible neighborhood schools.

Added Ms. Fiscal, According to the Department of Elections statistics, Latinos make up over 49, 000 registered voters in San Francisco. This turns into 37,000 households which are concentrated in the City and County Board of Supervisors District 6, 9, and 11, traditionally known as the Mission and the Excelsior. Latinos live in all of San Francisco and The SF Bay Area is well over a million (1.3 million) Latinos and growing. The purchasing power alone is projected to be $22 billion per year. We will comparatively rise in voting numbers and will look forward to expanding the MAPA Voter Education and Registration Project to ensure Latinos get out and vote."
