Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area I currently work as the Executive Director of the San Francisco Democratic Party.

I'm constantly searching for ways to better the lives of those around me, even in the smallest of ways.

I served as the President of the United Democratic Club, the largest citywide Democratic club in San Francisco for two years from March ‘22 - ’24. I also volunteer much of my spare time advocating for more housing & more investments in mass transit with SF YIMBY, and keeping our streets clean with Refuse Refuse SF.

I am a former Field Organizer for Organizing for America 2012, President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.

I worked for over ten years at the startup Nextdoor, four years as a Support Specialist and then the next six years as a Support Operations Manager.

I am also a proud Bronco and alumnus of Santa Clara University where I volunteered on many programs within the Santa Clara Community Action Program (SCCAP) and help manage the budget of SCCAP in my senior year.

I work to continue to develop myself as a helper, organizer, researcher, and thinker.

Recommendations
I highly recommend Bobak for his work as a Deputy Regional Field Director. Through strong communication and inquisitive clarification, he performed remarkably well in this role. The fact that he maintains strong ties to the volunteers he worked with in this capacity is a testament to his ability to develop meaningful relationships, while maintaining respect from those he is managing.
David Aldridge, Regional Field Director, Organizing for America 2012
Bobak is one of those people who makes a difference to any organization of which he’s a member. As SCCAP Budget Manager, he budgeted $70k across 19 volunteer programs as well as on-campus events, a feat which required his detail-oriented and organized personality. He takes pride in his work and always saw projects through. What makes Bobak a great asset to any organization is his passion and his desire to help out on all fronts.
Drew Hodun, Director of SCCAP
Bobak was incredibly helpful at organizing field efforts for my campaign. His on-the-ground knowledge of San Francisco and his organizing skills were a big help to getting me and fellow candidates across the finish line. I cannot recommend Bobak highly enough.
