"Thea is thoughtful, dedicated and effective at making positive change in our district and beyond. I trust her when it comes to the issues I care about more: keeping families in San Francisco; strengthening public transportation, walking, and biking; and helping small businesses succeed." - Marta Lindsey, Communications Director, TransForm CA
"Thea is not an ideologue nor a party machine careerist. She’s here to work with the community and get things done. She has the right stuff: gets down to the grass roots, listens, gets involved and takes action. Thank you, Thea!" - Robert Bakewell, environmental activist
"Working in an affordable housing non-profit, I share Thea’s commitment to making our neighborhoods safer, healthier and more beautiful for all members of the community." - Laura Ann Fernea, City Heights CDC
"Thea Selby is the type of leader we need for District 5: someone who will fight the tough battles so that small businesses and mom-and-pop entrepreneurs will have the same shot as the super-rich to make a living in our City." - Majeid Crawford, President, Fillmore/Lower Fillmore Neighborhood Association
" My conversations with Thea about walking in San Francisco inspired us to put up signs with popular destinations and estimated walk times. Thanks to Thea for encouraging a citywide effort toward a healthier San Francisco!" - Elizabeth Stampe, Executive Director, Walk San Francisco
"Thea's two children attended the same public elementary school, Rosa Parks, that our kids do. She did good work as the Vice President of the PTA for a unique institution that has worked to blend the Japanese and African-American influences of the Western Addition. She has our support, because we know she's walking the walk when it comes to keeping families in San Francisco." - Lora Hirschberg, public school parent, PTA President at Rosa Parks Elementary
