News Summary

• On Tuesday, district voters will decide whether to recall Supervisor Joel Engardio.
• The recall of a local supervisor who represents one-tenth of a city of 800,000 might seem like minor politics.
• But the election highlights a San Francisco in flux and a still cranky, even emboldened electorate.
• It’s fueled by many of the same people who tossed out three liberal school board members in February 2022 followed by the ouster of politically progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in June of that year.
