Want to be District 4 supervisor? We obtained the mayor's questionnaire.

The mayor's office has implemented a rigorous questionnaire for applicants vying for the District 4 supervisor position, focusing on financial transparency, social media scrutiny, and community involvement. Candidates must submit their answers to Adam Thongsavat by November 17, as part of a commitment to a stronger vetting process. This change follows the resignation of Beya Alcaraz, who faced rapid backlash due to her lack of qualifications and troubling business practices. The questionnaire includes inquiries about taxes, including offshore accounts, and asks about online conduct that could be seen as offensive. Applicants are also encouraged to share their social media profiles, including private accounts, to ensure transparency.

Mayor Daniel Lurie stated that the goal is to appoint a capable representative for the Sunset District. The questionnaire seeks to uncover any potential red flags that could hinder a candidate's ability to serve effectively. The new supervisor will play a crucial role in upcoming city legislation, including the mayor's upzoning plan.
