About Theo Ellington Theo Ellington, a third-generation San Franciscan whose life story is deeply intertwined with the city, is now seeking to serve as Supervisor for District 10. Raised in Bayview by a hardworking single mother, Theo’s path from adversity to advocacy began early — inspired by the community around him and driven by a determination to create a safer, fairer, and more vibrant San Francisco.From producing documentaries featured at the SF International Film Festival and the World Economic Forum, to leading citywide initiatives that built 1,000 affordable homes, expanded homeless services, and created 3,000 living-wage jobs, Theo’s impact is felt across every corner of our city. Today, he continues his mission as Executive Director of the Ruth Williams Bayview Opera House, where he’s leading a cultural renaissance and nurturing the next generation of local artists. As a husband, father, and lifelong Bayview resident, Theo is raising the fourth generation of San Franciscans — and working to ensure this city remains a place where every family can live, work, and thrive.Social Media Email: [email protected]: Ruth Williams Opera House- https://rwoh.org/Website:https://www.bhfs.com/people/theodore-ellington/Website: https://www.theoellington.com/about Facebook: / ellingtontheo  Instagram:   / theoellingtonsf  About Kelly Armstrong Kelly K.
