Mayor Lurie's Statement on District Four Special Election

SAN FRANCISCO – Mayor Daniel Lurie today released the following statement on the special election in District Four:

“I want to thank Supervisor Joel Engardio for his years of service and commitment to San Francisco. And I want to thank all the District Four residents who made their voices heard and participated in today’s special election.

“As I campaigned for mayor last year, I heard countless west side families say what San Franciscans have been feeling for years: that their government is doing things to them, not with them, and that government is not working to make their lives better.

“That’s why my administration has continued to communicate openly and transparently with San Franciscans on a wide range of important issues—from public safety and the behavioral health crisis to affordable housing and public space. This honest dialogue has bred a strong working relationship with the Board of Supervisors and a shared feeling that San Francisco is coming back stronger than ever. We will continue to be in constant communication with our partners in government and across communities as we work to make San Franciscans’ lives better—that means delivering a city that is safe and clean, where small businesses can thrive and the next generation of San Franciscans can afford to raise their children.

“As votes are still being counted and the election will be certified in the coming weeks, our team is evaluating next steps for the District Four supervisor seat.”
