Today, Mayor London Breed will appoint Matt Dorsey, the current director of communications for the San Francisco Police Department, to take the seat vacated by Matt Haney on San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors.
Matt Dorsey, pictured here at SOMA’s Harvest Urban Market, will be named to the Board of Supervisors, representing District 6 and replacing Matt Haney, by Mayor London Breed Monday. He has served in a variety of political positions in San Francisco for the past 32 years.
Dorsey’s name had surfaced in recent weeks after Haney won a runoff election against his prime competitor David Campos to join the State Assembly as the representative from District 17, once held by David Chiu who was appointed City Attorney. Haney was known as a relatively progressive member of the Board of Supervisors, representing a district that included San Francisco’s troubled Tenderloin neighborhood.
Dorsey, who ran nine marathons in his 40s and lives at 8th and Market Streets, told me this gives him an interesting perspective on The City’s growing drug problem, which is very much prevalent in the SOMA neighborhood. He thinks his life experience can help fix the problem. “I’m tired of feeling helpless. And I think being a voice from the substance abuse recovery community could bring perspective,” said Dorsey.
