Supervisor Shamann Walton has been elected president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in a unanimous vote that elevated him to the top of the city’s most powerful political body and put him second in line to the mayor.
Walton represents District 10, the southeastern edge of San Francisco, which includes neighborhoods like Bayview-Hunters Point, Potrero Hill and Dogpatch. Now, he will also lead the 11-member board through an uncertain and tumultuous time in San Francisco.
