Overview

• Preliminary returns show roughly 65% of District 4 voters backing the recall, and Engardio conceded on election night.
• The recall centered on Engardio’s push for Proposition K, which permanently closed a two‑mile stretch of the Upper Great Highway and created Sunset Dunes park.
• Proposition K passed citywide in 2024 but was rejected by a majority of District 4 voters, fueling a neighborhood backlash over traffic and representation.
• Under city rules, results will be certified by Oct. 16, after which the mayor will appoint an interim supervisor to serve until the next scheduled election in 2026.
• Asian American neighborhood organizers drove the effort, which qualified with more than 10,500 validated signatures, while Engardio’s retain campaign drew large checks from tech billionaires.
