Harvey Milk recruited political activist Anne Kronenberg (b. 1954) to run his campaign for supervisor in 1977. After their historic victory, Kronenberg served as a legislative aide to Milk during his all-too-brief tenure, playing a critical role in garnering support for the passage of San Francisco’s Gay Rights Ordinance. Continuing with a lifelong career in public service, in December 2010, Kronenberg became Executive Director of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.
