San Francisco's New BoardClick Here For Official Election Results (opens new window) By election night’s end in America’s most Asian American city, it was apparent that the dynamics of the Board of Supervisors had changed: The so-called Willie Brown machine had been shut down by upset victories in six of the nine districts where the mayor’s chosen candidates were crushed by grassroots challengers. With members Barbara Kaufman, Leslie Katz, Sue Bierman and Alicia Becerril replaced by a bevy of men, Sophie Maxwell, an African American, will be the lone female on the new Board. Just as obvious: the Board has suddenly become much less API, and less representative of the city’s demographics. Michael Yaki, one of the board’s three Asian American members lost his seat to Jake McGoldrick; Mabel Teng, too, appears to be defeated by challenger Tony Hall; Lawrence Wong, the only non-incumbent Asian American candidate, lost his bid to Aaron Peskin in District 3. And Amos Brown, the sole black member of the board, lost his seat to Gerardo Sandoval. |
