About The Candidate
Julian Enrique Bermudez is the proud son of
San Francisco’s Mission District. Born at SF General Hospital, raised in a hard-working class family to an Army Service Member and dental hygienist. Bermudez’s family has been serving the neighborhood since 1996 with affordable appliances and repair services at Rancho Grande Appliance. Participating in youth ministries, student council, and wrestling programs while attending local schools, such as Buena Vista, St. Peter’s, and Archbishop Riordan High School, ignited Bermudez’s passion for communal leadership. He then studied comparative religion at Chico State University, which furthered his passion.
​
Towards the end of his BA program, Bermudez decided to enlist, like his father did, in the US Army where his hard work was accepted and trained in the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit. After 3 years, Bermudez was discharged from the army and rejoined society by returning to his home in the Mission District. When Bermudez isn’t busy taking the reins of the family business, he spends his free time training with SF’s Fog Rugby Club and considering how to make San Francisco a better place through communal action.
A note from Julian…
​
I decided to run for District 9 City Supervisor because I see where we’ve been and where we
currently are as SF Residents and would like to help build the path forward together with those
who call this city home. We’ve seen how politicians have raised tech interests all over our
region, leaving too many of our community members behind. There is a cruelty surrounding us,
where instead of seeking understanding and connection, we bow to corporate interests that
continuously hurt us.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Newer to the political scene, but not the neighborhood, I know the
goodness that our local businesses, merchants, schools, and groups can create and achieve. I
know how to show up, be present, and listen, standing in solidarity with all those who need to be
heard. While aware of so many challenges we are facing, I am not jaded about them and am ready to
get out there and get to work. I welcome your support—we have so much to accomplish together.
