(三藩市市長布里德)
代表性尤其重要。而正因如此，我有幸能任命邱信福擔任為三藩市第一位亞裔市府律師，並於過去周一為他宣誓就任。邱信福的公職生涯內一直致力於為三藩市服務，並從他在三藩市市參事議會及加州眾議院內的工作表現顯出卓越領導能華。
邱信福從2014年到最近出任了州 議員，代表第17議會區，在此期間，他就住房、無家可歸、交通、教育、環境、衛生、公共安全和公民權利等問題起草了一系列廣泛的法案。
在州議會中，他起草了重要立法以擴大和加強婦女、移民和同性戀加州居民的公民權利。 作為議會住房和社區發展委員會主席，他致力於保護租客在新冠病毒期間免受驅逐，並通過了加州幾十年來最大的租客權利擴張。邱信福經常透過監管製藥公司、華爾街銀行、鉛油漆公司、營利性大學和槍支公司等根深蒂固的利益集團來保護消費者。
他在哈佛大學獲得了學士、碩士和法律學位。 他亦是移民父母的兒子，在波士頓長大，並於1996年搬到三藩市。
在擔任公職之前，他曾在三藩市灣區民權律師委員會擔任民權律師，三藩市地檢署的刑事檢察官，美國參議院憲法小組委員會的民主律師，以及聯邦第九巡迴上訴法院的法務專員。
市府律師辦公室的任務是為三藩市和縣提供法律服務。 這包括在所有法律訴訟中代表三藩市，提供建議和書面提議，就和解或駁回法律訴訟向三藩市市議會提出建議，調查針對三藩市的索賞，並追究三藩市內不公平和非法競爭的事故。
我深信，邱信福為三藩市內弱勢社群而戰，並倡導公平和公正政策等等的經驗使他成為出任這職位的最佳人選。

David Chiu Sworn In as San Francisco City Attorney
By Mayor London Breed
Representation matters. That’s why I was honored to appoint and swear in David Chiu as San Francisco’s first Asian American City Attorney. David has dedicated his career to serving our City and has consistently demonstrated strong leadership from his time at the Board of Supervisors through his work as an Assemblymember.
Most recently, David represented the 17th Assembly District from 2014 up until his swearing-in, during which time he authored a wide range of bills on issues relating to housing, homelessness, transportation, education, environment, health, public safety, and civil rights.
In the State Legislature, he authored significant legislation to expand and strengthen the civil rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ Californians. As chair of the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, he worked to protect tenants from evictions during COVID, and passed the largest expansion of tenants’ rights in California in decades. David often fought to protect consumers through the regulation of entrenched interests like pharmaceutical companies, Wall Street banks, lead paint companies, for-profit colleges, and gun manufacturers.
He received his undergraduate, master’s, and law degrees from Harvard University. The son of immigrant parents, he grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to San Francisco in 1996.
Before entering public office, he served as a civil rights attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, a criminal prosecutor with the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, Democratic Counsel to the United States Senate Constitution Subcommittee, and a law clerk for Judge James R. Browning of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The City Attorney’s Office is tasked with providing legal services for the City and County of San Francisco. This includes representing the City in all legal proceedings, providing advice and written opinions, making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors regarding settlements or dismissal of legal proceedings, investigating claims made against the City, and pursuing allegations of unfair and unlawful competition in the City.
I am confident that David’s experience fighting for San Francisco’s most vulnerable communities and advocating for equitable and just policies makes him the right person for this position.
