The '''[[San Francisco Board of Supervisors]]''' is the [[board of supervisors|legislative body]] of [[San Francisco]], [[California]], [[United States]]. The body consists of eleven '''members''' elected from single-member districts through [[instant-runoff voting|ranked choice voting]].
 
From 1977 to 1979, and starting again in 2000, supervisors were elected from eleven single-member districts. Prior to 1977 and from 1980 to 1998, members were elected [[at-large]], all running on one ballot, with the top vote-getters winning office. In 1980, elections shifted from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years, and because of the shift from district to at-large elections, all seats were up for election, with some members winning four-year terms and some winning two-year terms. Similar cases of supervisors elected to truncated terms happened in 1977 and 2000, when elections shifted to district elections.

== Board members ==
No official list of supervisors in office prior to 1906 exists as the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]] destroyed all Board of Supervisors records. However, the names of San Francisco supervisors are recorded in many documents and newspapers from the time.

=== San Francisco Common Council ===
The [[San Francisco Common Council]] was the predecessor of the [[San Francisco Board of Supervisors]]. The Common Council was made up of the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Assistant Aldermen, each composed of one member elected from each of the city's eight wards. The first elections to these posts took place on May 1, 1850 (the same day as the vote on the city charter), and the Common Council took office on May 6, 1850.<ref name="SFMuniReports1898-9_EarlyList">{{citation|title=San Francisco Municipal Reports for the Fiscal Year 1898-99, Ending June 30, 1899|contribution=List of Public Officers of the City and County of San Francisco|date=1899|place=San Francisco|publisher=The Hinton Printing Co.|page=Ap1-640&ndash;Ap1-717|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yv01AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA661}}</ref> The Common Council had authority only within the city limits, which stretched west to [[Divisadero Street, San Francisco|Divisadero]] and [[Castro Street, San Francisco|Castro]] streets and south to [[20th Street, San Francisco|20th Street]].<ref name=Scott_1985>{{citation |title=The San Francisco Bay Area: A Metropolis in Perspective |first=Mel |last=Scott |year=1985 |publisher=[[University of California Press]] |edition=2 |location=Berkeley |pages=43–45 |isbn=9780520055124 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xlE4hwWVqqwC&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43}}</ref>
 
The seventh and last Common Council served until July 1856, when under the Consolidation Act that unified city and county government in San Francisco, the Common Council was replaced by the first Board of Supervisors.<ref name="SFMuniReports1898-9_EarlyList"/>
Line 157 ⟶ 159:
The first Board of Supervisors served only from July 8 to November 15, 1856, and consisted of one justice of the peace for each of the city's four districts. These four men chose [[George J. Whelan]] as the city's mayor and president of the board.

*{{note label|JLGallagher|L|L}} James L. Gallagher was appointed February 11, 1905 to replace Thomas F. Finn. On June 17, 1907, Gallagher was appointed acting mayor by the board of supervisors, to serve in place of [[Eugene E. Schmitz]], who had been arrested on felony charges of extortion. Schmitz protested his removal, but Gallagher continued to serve until the board elected Charles Boxton to fill Schmitz's unexpired term on July 9, 1907.
*{{note label|AMWilsonGFDuffey|M|M}} A.M. Wilson and G.F. Duffey resigned their positions prior to January 17, 1907; Wilson took up the position of state railroad commissioner; Duffey became director of the city's department of public works.{{sfn|Hichborn|1915|p=154}}
*{{note label|JJONeillOATveitmoe|N|N}} J.J. O'Neill and O.A. Tveitmoe were appointed by Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz on January 17, 1907, to succeed A.M. Wilson and G.F. Duffey, who had resigned.
*{{note label|SFGraft|O|O}} On March 18, 1907, as part of the [[San Francisco graft trials]], 16 of the 18 supervisors confessed before a grand jury to receiving money from corrupt political boss [[Abe Ruef]]. In exchange for their testimony, "they were promised complete immunity and would not be forced to resign their offices."
*{{note label|CBoxton|P|P}} Following the conviction of Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz for extortion, the board declared the office of the mayor vacant on July 9, 1907. Charles Boxton resigned his position as supervisor the same day and was elected by the board to fill Schmitz's unexpired term. However, testimony in Schmitz's corruption trial soon revealed that Boxton had taken bribes, so he actually served only seven days as mayor, resigning on July 16, 1907, to be replaced by [[Edward Robeson Taylor|Edward R. Taylor]], dean of [[University of California, Hastings College of the Law|Hastings College of the Law]]. On July 29, 1907, Taylor appointed James P. Booth, who had served as a supervisor from 1900 to 1905, to serve Boxton's unexpired term as supervisor.
*{{note label|TaylorPurge1907|Q|Q}} On July 29, 1907, two weeks after [[Edward Robeson Taylor|Edward R. Taylor]]'s appointment as mayor, he conducted a wholesale purge of supervisors connected with the [[San Francisco graft trials|graft scandal]]. Taylor obtained the resignations of 14 supervisors and appointed replacements for all their seats plus the open seat created by the resignation of Charles Boxton. These 15 appointments were protested by supervisors O.A. Tveitmoe and J.J. O'Neill, who had not resigned, on the grounds that Taylor's claim to the mayor's office had not been legally established. On August 26, 1907, P.M. McGushin resigned and Taylor replaced him with former supervisor A. Comte, Jr.
*{{note label|LSachsWGStafford|R|R}} Lippmann Sachs and W.G. Stafford were both elected in November 1907 to continue as supervisors. However, both resigned before May 28, 1908.

*{{note label|AHGianniniWWSanderson|T|T}} William W. Sanderson was appointed June 1, 1909 to replace A.H. Giannini, who had resigned. Attilio Henry Giannini was the brother of [[Amadeo Giannini|A.P. Giannini]], founder of the Bank of America. W.W. Sanderson was a grocery executive with Hooper & Jennings. He served as a supervisor during the period of Abe Ruef's corruption, and gave evidence about the graft schemes.
*{{note label|LPRixfordWEBalcom|U|U}} W.E. Balcom was appointed June 7, 1909 to replace L.P. Rixford, who had resigned.

From January 8, 1912, the term of office of San Francisco supervisors was extended to four years, with nine members elected every two years.

Rossi was sworn in as [[mayor of San Francisco]] on January 7, 1931, to fill the vacancy left by the swearing in of [[James Rolph]] as [[governor of California]] the previous day. Rossi had been chosen for the post on January 5 by a 14–2 vote of the Board of Supervisors. At the same time Dr. Joseph M. Toner took up a position as director of institutions for California. On January 20, Rossi's appointees Samuel T. Breyer and Thomas P. Garrity were sworn in to fill the two open supervisor seats.
*{{note label|STBreyer|I|I}} Samuel T. Breyer was the father of Irving Breyer, who later served as legal counsel for the [[San Francisco Board of Education]], and the grandfather of U.S. Supreme Court Justice [[Stephen Breyer]] and U.S. District Judge [[Charles R. Breyer|Charles Breyer]].
 
Line 817 ⟶ 819:
The new city charter adopted by voters in November 1931 reduced the Board of Supervisors' membership in two stages from 18 members to 11. The first stage was that the nine members whose terms expired at the end of 1931 were replaced by six new members elected in November 1931. This reduced the board to 15 members for the period 1932–1933. Then, at the 1933 election, only five supervisors were elected, reducing the board to 11 members. The 1931 charter also removed administrative responsibility from the board and restricted it to a legislative role, and it created a new position of President of the Board of Supervisors. Previously, the mayor had served as president of the board.

|Appointed 2004 by Mayor Gavin Newsom to succeed Newsom on the Board of Supervisors. Elected 2004 and 2006.

Six months after he took office, the FBI raided his office and homes for allegedly extorting money from small business owners in his district. Shortly after the raid, the city attorney began investigating Jew for violating residency requirements necessary to hold his supervisor position. In late 2008, he pleaded guilty to both charges. He was sentenced to 64 months in federal prison for extortion, and a year in county jail for perjury.[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/01/11/MN19UD1T2.DTL Ed Jew tenders resignation from S.F.
