When he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 2008, at a time City Hall was viewed as dysfunctional, David committed to changing the culture and impact of City Hall. With the reputation as a consensus maker, he was the first President of our Board of Supervisors elected consecutively three times by his colleagues. During this time he passed 110 ordinances across a wide range of policy areas, including affordable housing, job creation, public safety, the environment, health care, transportation, civil rights, ethics and technology.
