County

San Francisco Board of Supervisors, District 10

This person holds your district's seat on San Francisco's 11-member Board of Supervisors. They vote on city-county laws, the budget, and land use.

Ten candidates are on the ranked-choice ballot for an open seat. Incumbent Shamann Walton is not running. The district covers Bayview, Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, Dogpatch and Visitacion Valley. The three leading candidates are Theo Ellington, Dionjay Brookter, and J.R. Eppler. Several others have made their case at neighborhood forums. Two candidates have no documented campaign at all.

The winner holds one of 11 seats on the Board of Supervisors, the city-county's legislature. It writes ordinances, approves the budget the mayor proposes, and decides the land-use questions that determine what gets built where. The term is four years, with a two-term limit.

The field splits three ways: funded, covered campaigns (Ellington, Brookter, Eppler); candidacies visible at forums or through registered committees (Richard, Bastiany, Pessecow, Lin, Bryant); and ballot lines with no documented campaign behind them. Ranked-choice voting lets you rank as many as you have a view on — a long field does not force a single guess.
