Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Stephen Sherrill** — Incumbent - **Nicholas Berg** - **Monthanus Ratanapakdee** - **Guy McCoy** A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. Incumbent Stephen Sherrill and three challengers are on the ranked-choice ballot for the district covering the Marina, Pacific Heights, Cow Hollow and Presidio Heights. Sherrill, appointed in December 2024, won June's special election for the term's remaining months with 69.25% in the final ranked-choice round (per the city's certified results); November decides the full four-year term against a new field: community advocate Monthanus Ratanapakdee, city Republican Party chairman Nicholas Berg, and Guy McCoy. 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. June measured Sherrill against a well-funded challenge and he won decisively; that opponent is not in this field. November asks a different question: none of the three challengers has held city office, and two report no campaign committee at all (per the Ethics Commission's November index). The ranked-choice ballot lets you rank all four. ## Stephen Sherrill The sitting supervisor. A former director of the Mayor's Office of Innovation, he was appointed to the seat by Mayor London Breed in December 2024 (per the Examiner) and won June's special election with 69.25% in the final round (per the city's certified results). **Strengths:** A fresh electoral mandate from June's special election, on top of executive-branch experience in the Mayor's Office of Innovation. **Trade-offs:** A short elected record — appointed in late 2024, elected in June — so the full-term case rests on months of votes, not years. **Keep in mind:** June's decisive win came against a different, well-funded opponent; this field is smaller and quieter, which makes November more a referendum on him than a contest of rivals. ## Monthanus Ratanapakdee A community advocate and San Franciscan of more than 30 years who entered public life after the 2021 killing of their father, Vicha — their campaign describes stepping forward after "a tragic act of violence." Their stated priorities are public safety, clean streets, small-business support, and family-centered governance (per their campaign site). **Strengths:** Three decades in the city and a safety-first platform grounded in direct personal experience of its failures. **Trade-offs:** No documented government service record; their platform is directional — four named priorities — rather than a set of specific proposals. **Keep in mind:** Their campaign runs explicitly against "big money" and "party machine" politics (their site's words); judge whether grassroots independence reads as strength or isolation for a legislative seat. ## Nicholas Berg Chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party (per the party's own site), running with a registered campaign committee (per the Ethics Commission's November index). Press coverage of the race documents little else about their campaign to date. **Strengths:** Leads a citywide party organization — an organizing base and public profile the field's other challengers lack. **Trade-offs:** No documented government service record; their public profile is party leadership rather than city government. **Keep in mind:** A party chair on a formally nonpartisan ballot makes partisanship itself the question their candidacy asks of District 2. ## Guy McCoy Qualified for the ballot on June 3 (per the city's candidate list). No campaign committee appears in the Ethics Commission's November index, and press coverage of the race documents no background or platform for them as of late August. **Strengths:** None documented from official sources or press coverage. **Trade-offs:** With no documented campaign, there is nothing for a voter to evaluate beyond the ballot line itself. **Keep in mind:** Sparse coverage is itself information; if this campaign becomes publicly visible, the weekly source refresh will pick it up. ## Financial info - **Stephen Sherrill** — $202,618 raised (Small donors: $3,185; Individuals: $197,433; PACs & committees: $1,500; Businesses & other orgs: $500) Nicholas Berg reports $200 raised, with no category breakdown available yet. Monthanus Ratanapakdee has no campaign committee on file with the SF Ethics Commission for this race. Guy McCoy has no campaign committee on file with the SF Ethics Commission for this race. Public matching funds are city money earned through small-donor support; totals combine reported contributions with approved public funds. Figures are CA Form 460 filings through 2026-06-30, per the SF Ethics Commission's e-filed transaction exports and campaign-finance dashboard, retrieved 2026-09-21. ## Review notes - Monthanus Ratanapakdee for District 2 and San Francisco Republican Party may have more bias because they are advocacy voter guides compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources. ## Sources 1.
