“As I often say, the recovery community is a sleeping giant. Gary McCoy is a testament to the power of recovery: his experience turning his life around has helped make him the incredible public servant and leader he is today.

As someone who has walked that road myself, I know the courage it takes not only to rebuild your life, but to dedicate it to fighting for others.

Gary brings that perspective to public service, and it’s exactly the kind of leadership San Francisco needs right now.”
