San Franciscos new Sunset District supe resigns a week after being sworn in - Local News Matters

Beya Alcaraz resigned from her position as San Francisco’s District 4 supervisor just one week after being sworn in. Mayor Daniel Lurie announced the resignation, explaining that Alcaraz's small business issues would distract from her ability to serve the community effectively. At 29, Alcaraz had previously owned The Animal Connection pet store, which she operated for six years. Lurie highlighted the importance of providing the district with a dedicated supervisor amid ongoing tensions over the Great Highway's transformation into Sunset Dunes. He expressed that residents deserve a leader who can advocate for their interests and bring the community together.

Lurie will begin the search for a new candidate immediately, stressing the need for a focused representative. The resignation follows a decisive election that recalled former supervisor Joel Engardio just months earlier. Alcaraz's swift departure underscores the challenges faced by new officials in navigating local politics.
