County
San Francisco Board of Supervisors, District 6
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.
Incumbent Matt Dorsey faces one challenger, Alex Behrend, on the ranked-choice ballot. The district covers the Tenderloin, SoMa, Mid-Market and Civic Center. It also includes Mission Bay, South Beach, Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. Dorsey is seeking reelection. Behrend has registered a campaign committee. But no public campaign has been reported for them.
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.
On paper a contested race; in practice, close to a referendum on the incumbent. One candidate holds the seat and a public record; the other has yet to surface a platform. The useful reading here is Dorsey's actual record — a sitting supervisor's votes are public — plus whatever campaign the challenger mounts between now and November.
Matt Dorsey
Matt Dorsey is the sitting supervisor for District 6, seeking reelection. His campaign wants to make San Francisco "a recovery first city." That means unified drug programs and rewards for staying sober. He also wants more police staffing. He supports more housing in Treasure Island, Central SoMa, Mission Bay and downtown.
Alex Behrend
Alex Behrend qualified for the ballot on June 9. Their registered committee is called "Alex Behrend for All - Supervisor 2026." As of late August, no press coverage, platform, or public campaign had been reported for them.
