San Francisco Supervisor Beya Alcaraz Resigns Just Days After Appointment

UPDATE: Just days after her appointment, San Francisco Supervisor Beya Alcaraz has agreed to resign from her position, confirmed by Mayor Daniel Lurie in a press release issued late Thursday night. The 28-year-old’s brief tenure sparked immediate controversy, raising questions about her qualifications and experience.

Alcaraz, who stepped into the role last week, faced scrutiny over her prior management of a pet store in the city’s Sunset District. Her appointment followed the recall of former Supervisor Joel Engardio, who lost his position due to his support for closing the Great Highway.

In her resignation statement, Alcaraz emphasized the importance of community service, stating, “I believe that my community deserves someone who will work 24/7 to advocate for us. And I understand that today’s news stories would distract me from doing that.”

The swift decision to step down reflects the intense pressure local leaders face in a politically charged environment. Residents and community leaders are now left to wonder who will take over the critical role in representing the Sunset District.
