Stephen Sherrill will be the new supervisor for District 2, which is located in the city’s north end, according to a statement made by San Francisco Mayor London Breedon on Wednesday.
Catherine Stefani, who was elected to a state Assembly seat in the November election, is being replaced by Sherill, who most recently served as the director of the Mayor’s Office of Innovation.
The Marina District, Pacific Heights, the Presidio, Jordan Park, Laurel Village, Cathedral Hill, Anza Vista, and the North of Panhandle communities are all part of District 2, which will have its next election in 2026.
In his position with the Mayor’s Office of Innovation, Sherrill “championed transparency and accountability, directing resources and data-driven solutions to better serve those who need it most,” according to a statement from the mayor’s office.
Prior to joining the mayor’s office, Sherrill worked in private equity and for a software business in San Francisco, and he was a policy advisor to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Breed made the decision a few weeks before she is scheduled to step down following her loss to Daniel Lurie in the mayoral election on November 5.
Breed’s office released a statement saying, “I am confident that Stephen will bring the experience and skills necessary to represent the residents of District Two and to build a stronger, more resilient city.” “He is dedicated to making San Francisco safer and more affordable for everyone, including supporting the housing, transit, and infrastructure we need, and committed to the transparency and accountability our residents deserve.”
Sherrill stated that he was “humbled by the opportunity” to take on the position and stated, “We must build on the foundation that Mayor Breed has left and to continue to make housing more affordable, our streets safer and cleaner, and prioritize recovery and treatment to fight the scourge of overdose deaths.”
According to the mayor’s office, Sherrill, who graduated from Yale University with a bachelor’s degree in political science, resides in the Presidio Heights neighborhood with his wife and kids.
