District 2
San Francisco's 2nd supervisorial district election
The incumbent Supervisor was Catherine Stefani, who was appointed to the seat in 2018 and sought reelection for a second full term. Stefani ran unopposed in the election as no other candidate was on the ballot.
District 4 encompassed Sunset District, Parkside, and Pine Lake. The incumbent Supervisor was Gordon Mar, who was first elected in 2018 and sought reelection for a second term. In the election, Mar was unseated by Joel Engardio, the executive director of the Stop Crime SF advocacy group who was described as a moderate Democrat. Engardio's win made him the first candidate in 20 years to unseat a previously elected incumbent supervisor. It was also the first time the district elected a non-Asian supervisor since created in 2000, as well as the first openly gay supervisor to represent a district in western San Francisco.
The incumbent supervisor was Matt Dorsey, who was first appointed to the seat in 2022 by MayorLondon Breed in order to fill the remainder of Matt Haney's term. Hayney had resigned the seat after he was elected to the California State Assembly. Dorsey ran for a full term, and won the election against Honey Mahogany.
District 8 encompassed the Castro District, Noe Valley, and Glen Park. The incumbent supervisor was Rafael Mandelman, who was first elected in 2018 in a special election. He was re-elected in a landslide against lawyer Kate Stoia.
