The Tenderloin will be removed from District 6, Potrero Hill will remain in District 10, and Supervisor Mandelman will not be drawn out of his District 8 under a finally approved “final draft map” from a wildly contentious SF redistricting process.
A redistricting process that had gone off the rails rhetorically has now gone off its legal rails too, as its task force votes to defy mandatory deadlines, and allegations swirl that Mayor Breed has been tampering.
The SF Redistricting Task Force kept redrawing supervisor districts in another raucous meeting that went ‘til nearly 3:30 Thursday morning, but now three members of the commission might be kicked off, and mind you this three days before their deadline.
SF Is Getting Its Supervisor Districts Redrawn Next Year
Your supervisorial district gets changed slightly every ten years after the Census is completed, and that process is getting underway for next year.
Certified results for the 2020 U.S. Census will start getting released this week, and as such, congressional districts across American will be redrawn to reflect population changes. California is expected to lose a congressional seat for the first time in decades, while Florida and Texas are expected to pick up seats. You will also see your California State Senate and State Assembly districts redrawn, and the process even trickles down to individual San Francisco street block designations for who represents you at City Hall. The 11 SF supervisor districts will also be redrawn, and SF Public Press reports the city is getting ready to start drawing new supervisorial districts.
