San Francisco Board of Supervisors
Engardio ran failed campaigns for District 7 supervisor in 2012,2016,and 2020. [4]
Engardio ran for District 4 supervisor after his neighborhood was redistricted from District 7. He was elected in November 2022,unseating incumbent Gordon Mar by a margin of 50.9% to 49.1%. [4] [7] Engardio is the first gay supervisor elected to represent the city's westside. [8] Engardo was also the first candidate to defeat an incumbent supervisor. [9]
In 2023,Engardio organized the first night market in the Sunset District along with other community groups. The first event drew over an estimated 10,000 visitors. [10] [11] This spurred similar events in other neighborhoods,such as Chinatown and The Castro. [12]
Engardio was among five supervisors who placed Proposition K,which proposed closing two miles of the Great Highway in the Sunset District to cars and turning it into a public park,onto the November 5,2024 election. [13] [14] The proposition passed with nearly 55%. A recall campaign was subsequently launched against Engardio,who represents the neighborhood. [15] [16] The new Sunset Dunes park opened in April 2025. [17]
Engardio authored Proposition G:Offering Algebra 1 to Eighth Graders. [18] This proposition would encourage the San Francisco Unified School District to allow eighth graders to take Algebra I,in place of needing to wait until ninth grade. [18]
Recall effort
In November 2024,a group of voters in the Sunset District launched a recall campaign Engardio over his support of Proposition K which was a ballot measure to close part of the Great Highway. [19] [20] A recall petition was filed with the San Francisco Department of Elections in December 2024. While Proposition K passed with 55% of San Francisco residents voting in support,64% of his constituents in District 4 voted against it. Many residents in the district did not believe that an issue that would disproportionately affect them should be voted on by the entire city. [19]
On Friday,May 20,2025 the San Francisco Department of Elections confirmed that it had received 10,985 valid signatures which is more than the 9,911 signatures that were required to put the recall on the ballot (20% of the voters in District 4). [21] [22]
One recall supporter has stated,"Our community cannot accept public officials who place self-promotion above genuine collaboration",targeting Engardio's leadership and commitment to serve District 4. [23]
