Mayor London Breed's appointment to fill the seat left by new Assemblymember Matt Haney joined the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, but he's only guaranteed that spot for a few months.
In an already eventful year in San Francisco politics with the School Board recalls, an Assembly race and battles over redistricting, being appointed to the board might be a dangerous place.
Dorsey has talked a lot about his personal struggles with addiction, and he said the drug crisis will be his focus. The new supervisor also he knows his appointment has caused a fair amount of pushback among the city's progressives. "She basically picked a longtime political operative that has most recently served in the capacity of media spokesperson for the Police Department," said Homeless Advocate Christin Evans, speaking to the concerns about Mayor Breed's appointment."That's really concerning. It signals that she is aligned with the Police Officers Association."
Just last week, Supervisor Dean Preston, whose district now includes the Tenderloin, held a hearing questioning the function of Dorsey's previous job.
