The San Francisco Ethics Commission meeting on July 4, 2025, featured a range of public comments addressing pressing local issues, including allegations of corruption, job losses, and the need for ethical governance.

Ellen Leezhou, a former mayoral candidate, opened the public comment session with a passionate plea against what she described as harassment of her campaign volunteers. Leezhou, who ran a volunteer-based campaign in 2019, accused the commission of failing to investigate corruption reports she submitted and instead targeting her for her outspoken views on issues such as human trafficking and homelessness. She expressed frustration over the city's deteriorating conditions, highlighting rising crime rates and a declining population, and urged the commission to cease its alleged "tyranny agenda."

Another speaker, who identified as a healthcare worker from Zuckerberg San Diego General Hospital, called for the commission to address job losses resulting from COVID-19 policies. He emphasized the sacrifices made by healthcare workers and urged the commission to advocate for their reinstatement and support.

The meeting also included discussions on the merits of a case involving Paul Allen Taylor, with the commission deciding to postpone the hearing to allow for adequate preparation and witness appearances.

As the meeting concluded, the commission acknowledged the importance of public input and the need for continued dialogue on ethical governance and community concerns. The discussions underscored the ongoing challenges facing San Francisco, particularly in the realms of public safety and workforce stability.
