San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney has declared victory in a special election for the state Assembly but he'll have to run again in June and November to keep the seat for another two-year term
San Francisco's director of the department of elections said he expected turnout to be low. Turnout was at about 21%.
Late in the evening after the results were posted, Supervisor Haney tweeted, "So far, we won in every neighborhood and every district. Proud." The winner of the runoff election will have to defend his seat in the June 7 statewide primary election, in which the ballot includes a proposal to recall the San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Then, voters will decide on the state assembly again in the November election to keep the seat for another two-year term.
Mayor London Breed will appoint a new supervisor for District 6 to finish out Haney's term if the election is officially called in his favor. Assembly District 17 covers the eastern half of San Francisco and includes tourist heavy neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Haight-Ashbury along with the Tenderloin, which has been troubled by homelessness and drugs.
