Mayor “Sunny Jim” Rolph ended 20 years of Democratic control of San Francisco, and kicked off over a half century of Republican dominance in our City, which lasted until the mid-1960s.

Drawing upon his CEO experience, Mayor Rolph forged a strong coalition for winning and then governance. He knew that in San Francisco, support of the Catholic community is paramount. He then won the support of the City’s ruling class via convincing them both that 1. the Democrat Machine in power was no longer working out, and that 2. Mayor Rolph’s team was ready, willing, and able to do a better job.

For us to prove to the City that we are Ready, Willing, and Able, we need to build up a strong slate of candidates, train a wide array of volunteers to get those candidates elected, and to prepare our grassroots activists to step into roles in City Government as soon as we win.

San Francisco Young Republicans is working on all three of those things: reach out to us to get involved.
