ROTARY LUNCHEON: San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan

San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan will share what she is going to do for us when she gets to Congress. She has spent her life giving back to the San Francisco community that welcomed her family when they immigrated to America.

Connie also served as a legislative aide to then-Supervisor Aaron Peskin and as a representative of then-Assemblymember Kevin Mullin.
