San Francisco Board of Supervisors · BOS Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting - Jan 27, 2026 · 27 Jan 2026 meeting

I have presented policy before that was not connected to data, and I would get criticized for that.

This policy has no data connected whatsoever.

We have probably one person in the history of the city and county of San Francisco that has decided to run for office after serving two four-year terms and won.

We have people who have attempted and lost.

But most certainly, this issue is not something that should be going on the ballot where millions of dollars will be spent for an election.

There was also statements yesterday that

One of my colleagues spoke for labor and said that labor didn't support or had concerns with my proposed amendments.

And yet we didn't have one person from labor line up and say they had a concern with my amendments, because that was something that was created out of the blue.

I do want to add that my amendments do not

hamper anyone who is currently in office this is not an attack on anyone currently in office and in fact it allows anyone in office currently to finish their term and serve an additional four years because my amendments truly

allow for opportunities for more young, fresh, new, different perspectives to have the ability to serve in elected office.

So we're really trying to put something on the ballot that allows people to vote on allowing more people to serve in office than we should include every elected office.

So just to give a little perspective,

My amendments impose a lifetime two-term limit on the offices of the assessor recorder, city attorney, district attorney, public defender, sheriff, treasurer, members of the Board of Education, and members of the City College Board of Trustees.

It provides provisions for anyone holding those offices as of the June election or elected at the June election and who would otherwise be termed out under the new term limit may complete their term of office and one additional four-year term.

Those amendments are reflected in the short and long titles and sections 6.100, 8.100, and 8.101.

There are also a few clarifying and confirming amendments to those sections to the long title.

So I just want to...

really say that I am not against term limits.

Let me start there.
