From 2001 until 2023, the district was represented by [[Chinese‑American]] supervisors, reflecting its Asian‑majority electorate. The district was relatively moderate until progressive [[Gordon Mar]]’s election in [[2018 San Francisco Board of Supervisors election|2018]], but it later backed the [[2022 San Francisco Board of Education recall elections|San Francisco Board of Education]] and [[2022 San Francisco District Attorney recall election|District Attorney]] recall elections. In 2022, Mar was defeated by Joel Engardio, the first challenger in 20 years to unseat an incumbent supervisor and the first non‑Chinese representative of the district since 1977. In 2025, Engardio was recalled over the [[Great Highway]] closure and the opening of [[Sunset Dunes]] park, becoming the first incumbent San Francisco supervisor successfully removed from office. Following the recall, Mayor [[Daniel Lurie]] appointed [[Beya Alcaraz]], the first person of Filipino descent to serve on the Board of Supervisors, but she resigned days later amid reports of tax evasion and neglectful conditions at her former pet shop, making her the shortest‑serving supervisor.
