D3 Supervisor-elect Danny Sauter made it clear that he will be a very different kind of supervisor than incumbent Aaron Peskin.
that he will be a very different kind of supervisor than incumbent Aaron Peskin, who has overseen the district, on and off, for two decades. “It’s silly to neglect the fact that we have not been building housing. And I also think it’s silly to say that District 3 is the densest part of San Francisco,” he said, pointing to building opportunities on parking lots in Lower Nob Hill and downtown offices that can be potentially converted to residential space.
Sauter had a clear-cut victory with 55 percent of votes after ranked-choice tabulations and he’s determined to take advantage of that vote. In a way, Sauter said he agreed that being a supervisor is “a glorified customer service job” that requires him to respond quickly, triage, and connect his residents to resources in different city departments.
Michelle Andrews will join his staff as well. She has been a district representative in Sen. Scott Weiner’s office since her graduation from University of California, Davis in mid-2023. He vowed to protect Chinatown SRO residents who often live in anxiety around living conditions and fear of eviction. He wants to protect a District 3 population that’s getting older by helping get funding for healthcare services related to social isolation.
“We’re going to get pulled in a million different directions by a lot of well-meaning interest groups and people with time,” he said. “People with power, all those things — but make sure the work that we’re doing is in line with what we campaigned on.” that works hard to bring you news you can't get elsewhere.
