Gay SF City College Trustee Temprano resigns for EQCA job
After five years as a City College of San Francisco trustee, Tom Temprano is resigning to become the new political director at Equality California.
He is also departing the staff of gay San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, having served nearly four years as his de facto chief of staff.
Temprano, a gay man, last Thursday stepped down as vice president of the elected community college board. His resignations from the oversight body and his job as a legislative aide at City Hall take effect February 15.
He is one of two new hires the statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization announced Tuesday. Jorge Reyes Salinas, who is also gay, is joining EQCA as its new communications director; he has been serving in a similar role for state Senator Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara).
