Local Officials
Here at Monkeybrains, we have found local supervisors to be the most responsive -- our representatives in Washington DC are pretty busy. If you are looking for a more personal experience, definitely reach out to your local legislators. Guess what? If there is an election with an imcumbent running, they are the most responsive to your inquiries!
In San Francisco, there is a Board of Supervisors. The district you live in changes periodically, so you can lookup the current Board Member assigned to you on the SF Planning website:

Alameda County has a great all-in-one tool to lookup all the contacts for your home address. Give it a whirl: acgov.org
