A week after she was sworn in<\/a> as San Francisco\u2019s District 4 supervisor, Beya Alcaraz will be stepping down, Mayor Daniel Lurie said Thursday night.<\/p>\n

In a brief statement, the mayor said he spoke to Alcaraz and they agreed that issues surrounding her small business would be a \u201cdistraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe and I agreed, as we always have, that the Sunset deserves a supervisor who is fully focused on serving the community. We also agreed that the new information about her conduct while running her small business, which I learned today, would be a significant distraction from that work,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our conversation, she told me she intends to resign as supervisor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcaraz was sworn into office by Lurie on Nov. 6, to represent District 4 after former supervisor Joel Engardio was recalled by voters<\/a> in a decisive election in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lurie first met Alcaraz at a night market in the Sunset after Engardio was recalled. She introduced herself and pitched to him why she would make a good choice for supervisor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alcaraz, 29, was born and raised in the Sunset neighborhood, which is in District 4.\u00a0 For six years, beginning at age 22,\u00a0 she owned and operated The Animal Connection pet store, according to information on her supervisor website page.<\/p>\n

Lurie said Thursday that he would start work on finding another candidate to represent the district, which has been divided over the Great Highway\u2019s transformation<\/a> into Sunset Dunes<\/a>, a park that thousands of pedestrians, runners and bicyclists use every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard again and again about the fraught politics that have divided District 4, and I believe the residents of this community deserve better,\u201d Lurie said. \u201cThey should have a supervisor who can be fully dedicated to representing them, advocating for their families, and bringing people together. My team and I will get back to work finding that person right away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A week after she was sworn in as San Francisco\u2019s District 4 supervisor, Beya Alcaraz will be stepping…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[28441,9386,2500,16424,33995,101,103,102,104,106,105,6959,27669,33996,33997],"class_list":["post-54244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-beya-alcaraz","tag-great-highway","tag-leadership","tag-mayor-daniel-lurie","tag-proposition-k","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-small-businesses","tag-sunset-district","tag-sunset-dunes","tag-supervisor-joel-engardio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
