Jeffrey Essig

2009: Moved to San Francisco. 2012-2014: I was living/working in SF part time (was still at Stripe much of this time) as my wife (then girlfriend) was finishing school and then working in NY and on assignment abroad. I was trying to keep our long distance relationship alive, and I’m glad I did. I bought a home here in 2013 because this is where we always wanted to build our lives. 2015-2019: Working for Bernie/AOC & founding Justice Dems, bouncing around campaign HQs and in Congress. Still came back home to SF often as this is where my community was. 2019-present: Living back in the city full-time. I’ve raised a school-aged daughter here. I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to do the work I did, and to be able to keep my family together. But this is consistent with what I told you over the phone. If you add the years up, yes, it is over a decade of living in San Francisco.
