Meet Nathan

No Party Preference Candidate

Scientist. Advocate. San Franciscan.

For decades, I've dedicated my life to understanding the complex systems which govern our immune health. As an immunologist, I know that a system is only as strong as its most vulnerable parts.

Now, I'm running to be your Representative in Congress in District 11 to apply that same rigorous, evidence-based approach to our most pressing challenges. I understand that policy, must be rooted in data, empathy, and results.

I'm Nathan Deer. I was born in Los Angeles, to immigrants from Ukraine, and I moved to San Francisco in 2016. An immunologist, I have a Bachelor’s degree from UCLA with a Master’s from NYU. In an era of misinformation, I'm offering you someone different: a representative who seeks out experts, respects the scientific method, and isn't afraid to pivot when new data is available.

I've served on the board of my HOA, and even in a smaller setting, I know how challenging the political process can be. In our building, a mix of fixed income seniors, families, and young professionals, I was able to convince our membership to vote in favor of an additional assessment to fund installation of a solar panel and battery storage system.

Progressive Priorities for CA-11

I believe that San Francisco should be the blueprint for a future that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. My campaign is built on four core pillars:

• Securing Our Democracy: Our democracy is under threat from voter suppression and the influence of dark money. We need to expand voting rights, end gerrymandering, and move toward publicly funded elections, ensuring that the government is accountable to people, not corporations.

• Climate Action Now: The climate crisis is the greatest public health threat of our time. We must transition to 100% renewable energy, while simultaneously expanding mass transit coverage and access.

• Medicare for All: Our private insurance system is broken, driving people to choose between poverty and rationing their care. I am a fierce advocate for a single-payer system that guarantees healthcare as a human right.

• Housing Equity: The soul of San Francisco is at risk when the people who make the city run, cannot afford to live here. I support massive federal investment in social housing, and stronger protections for renters.

I know we can do better for San Francisco, and you do too. That's why I'm running For You, Not the One Percent.
