Lurie Swears In Beya Alcaraz as San Francisco’s District 4 Supervisor

Her first major decisions—Great Highway access plus proposed tweaks to the mayor’s rezoning—will signal how she aims to unify a divided Sunset.

Overview

  • Alcaraz, 29, a lifelong Sunset resident and former pet-store owner who teaches art and music, became the city’s first Filipina American supervisor.
  • She said she is open to reopening the Great Highway to cars in some capacity after the 2024 vote that created Sunset Dunes Park divided the neighborhood.
  • Alcaraz plans to introduce amendments to Mayor Daniel Lurie’s Family Zoning proposal, emphasizing the goal of avoiding a state takeover of housing approvals.
  • Her appointment runs through a June 2026 election to finish the term, with a separate November 2026 race to decide the next full four-year term.
  • She put herself forward by approaching Lurie at a Sunset night market after the recall; she intends to run in June and could face Natalie Gee and Albert Chow, while park advocates urge her to keep the Great Highway car-free.
