SAN FRANCISCO—Supervisor Joel Engardio conceded a special election late Sept. 16 with nearly two-thirds of Sunset District voters approving Proposition A to recall him from office.
Engardio said in an X post at 9:47 p.m., “My time as a city supervisor will be shorter than expected. I accept the election results.”
Preliminary results issued at 10:41 p.m. by the Department of Elections showed that 64.64 percent, or 10,625 voters, wanted Engardio removed from his position, with 5,812 votes opposed and only 3,500 ballots uncounted at the time. As of Sept. 20, preliminary results show that 62.85 percent voted for the recall.
That number is similar to the 63.7 percent of voters from the same district who said no on the 2024 ballot’s Proposition K, a measure to replace the Upper Great Highway with a park that was later named Sunset Dunes….
