Michael Yaki Biography

Michael Yaki is one of the most popular and richest Political Figure who was born on February 15, 1961 in Los Angeles, United States. Michael Yaki (born 1961) is a San Francisco attorney/consultant/political analyst, running his own consulting firm and currently serving as a Commissioner on the United States Commission on Civil Rights, succeeding Christopher Edley, Jr. in February 2005. Yaki graduated from Yale Law School and UC Berkeley. Yaki clerked for Judge Harry Low (the first Chinese-American to be appointed to the California Court of Appeal). After a brief stint at Morrison & Foerster’s law firm, Yaki was named by Nancy Pelosi (D. San Francisco) as her District Director and senior advisor. Yaki served as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from February 1996, when he was appointed by Willie Brown. In November 1996, he ran for election. He served until his defeat in 2000. Michael Yaki Consulting is his consulting firm.

Yaki was the chair of the Economic Development and Telecommunications Committee between 1997-1999. He was then elected by his peers to lead the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (1998). Yaki also served as Director of the Golden Gate Bridge District and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. He was also a director of the San Francisco Public Employees Retirement System. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the California State Association for Counties. He was also a member of California State Association of Counties’ Executive Committee.

Yaki was appointed by the Congress to the Commission on Civil Rights in 2005. At the time, the Commission had become increasingly polarized under the George W. Bush administration, as conservatives –including Republican appointees on the Commission itself – argued that it no longer served any useful purpose and conducted partisan investigations meant to embarrass Republicans. After 2004, when Bush appointed two conservative Commissioners who had recently canceled their Republican Party registrations to the two “independent” seats, obtaining a six-member conservative majority bloc, the Commission dramatically scaled back its activities and canceled several ongoing investigations. During the Barack Obama administration, this conservative bloc reversed its position and began using the Commission as a vigorous advocate for conservative interpretations of civil rights issues, such as opposition to the Voting Rights Act and the expansion of federal hate crimes laws. For his first five years on the Commission Yaki was the frequent voice of dissent on the Commission,. His first dissent was on a Commission report attacking affirmative action in contracting, where his dissent was longer than the majority report.

Beginning in 2009, Yaki founded his own consulting firm, Michael Yaki Consulting. Working from San Francisco, Yaki provides strategic advice and policy management to businesses and individuals primarily in California and Washington DC.

Yaki was sworn into office on February 6, 1996. He organized a Children and Youth Summit in New York City as one of his first acts. In November 1996, he was elected to a four-year term.

She also participated in her policies concerning China, transportation, and the conversion of defense installation at the Presidio of San Francisco and Hunters Point Naval Shipyard to a military shipyard. Pelosi was co-chairperson of the Platform Committee during President Clinton’s 1992 campaign. Yaki worked closely with Clinton’s campaign to draft and pass the Platform as her primary staffer.

Willie Brown, Speaker of the California State Assembly, asked Yaki to assist him in his 1995 run for the office of mayor. There was much speculation about Yaki’s future role in the new Administration after Brown won. Brown announced in his first news conference that he would appoint Yaki to replace Terence Hallinan (the District Attorney) who was not yet served.

In 1999, Yaki wrote his first op-ed for the New York Times on the confusion over applicable laws governing cable television franchises because of the failure of the federal government to deal with it in a coherent manner. He went on to write 4 more op-eds for the Times through 2000.
