Fighting for San Francisco.
Delivering on bold solutions for Affordability, Safety, and Jobs.
Bilal has led the fight on the Board of Supervisors to make San Francisco more affordable for all, through bold and innovative solutions.
Bilal has authored legislation to cut red tape and streamline affordable housing, while expanding protections for renters with the No Hidden Rent Act. He's introduced initiatives like the Affordable Groceries Act to advance city-funded grocery stores, and ensured equity in homeless services with the One City Shelter Act.
Bilal has also worked to protect San Franciscans from safety challenges. He authored the country's first legislative framework for ICE Free Zones to push back against federal encroachment, while advancing a Drug Market Intervention strategy to tackle our city's fentanyl crisis.
As a child of immigrants and renter in the Tenderloin, Bilal has dedicated his life to helping others with experience in both the public and private sectors. He is a former policy analyst in the Obama Administration, founder of private and philanthropic organizations, and elected member of the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee and the Board of Supervisors.
He worked in the Obama Administration helping small businesses recover post-recession, led an SF community impact fund to combat inequality, and championed state legislation to address our climate crisis. Since being elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing District 5, he has authored legislation to tackle our most pressing challenges including housing and food affordability, fentanyl and homelessness crises, as well as immigrant protections and economic justice.
