London Breed Appoints Stephen Sherrill to San Francisco Board of Supervisors
The outgoing mayor's final major decision places a moderate ally in District 2, shaping the city's legislative direction before Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie takes office.
- San Francisco Mayor London Breed appointed Stephen Sherrill, her innovation director and a former Michael Bloomberg advisor, to fill the District 2 seat vacated by Catherine Stefani.
- Sherrill, a housing advocate and member of the moderate faction, will serve until the next citywide election in 2026, joining a Board of Supervisors with a strengthened moderate bloc following November's elections.
- Breed highlighted Sherrill’s experience in public and private sectors, including his work on housing, transit, and disaster response, as key qualifications for representing District 2.
- The appointment comes as Breed’s other final commission nominations were rejected by the Board of Supervisors, who opted to leave those decisions to incoming Mayor Daniel Lurie.
- Supervisors praised Breed’s tenure during her final appearance but blocked her remaining appointments to give Lurie a 'clean slate' for shaping key city commissions.
