Outgoing San Francisco Mayor London Breed has chosen Stephen Sherrill, former director of the Mayor's Office of Innovation, to fill the vacant supervisor position in District 2. Sherrill will serve until at least the June 2026 primary election.
Outgoing San Francisco Mayor London Breed appointed Stephen Sherrill as District 2’s new supervisor Wednesday morning, filling the vacancy left by Catherine Stefani’s election to the California State Assembly. The incoming supervisor most recently served as the director of the Mayor’s Office of Innovation, where the mayor’s office said his efforts centered on addressing homelessness in The City.
“I am deeply proud and eager to serve the residents of District 2, and I am humbled by the opportunity Mayor Breed has given me to step into this role and build on her legacy of leadership and progress,” Sherrill said in a statement provided by the mayor’s office. “Catherine Stefani’s example is one that I will strive to meet in ensuring that the government is responsive to the people of District 2 and the City as a whole, and not the other way around.” Sherrill, whom the mayor’s office said lives in Presidio Heights, will hold the office until at least the next scheduled election, currently set for the June 2026 California primary. The winner of that race will serve the remainder of Stefani’s term, and District 2 will then vote to elect a full-term supervisor that November. The consequential pick puts to rest months of speculation among San Francisco’s political class about who Breed might choose for the appointment. Other names that had been floated included former Supervisor Michaela Alioto-Pier as well as Eileen Feinstein Mariano, a City Hall staffer and the granddaughter of the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein. The selection process flirted with controversy in recent weeks when the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Conor Johnston — a Breed confidant who has earned a reputation as one of the mayor’s most pugnacious defenders — was up for consideration
