"Fielder requested to be excused from her board positions as chair of two committees, but asked to continue to serve as the Chair of both committees upon my return."
"She told Mission Local she would resign on March 27, but, two days later, her staff issued a statement saying she would stay on and seek an extended leave of absence instead."
"District 9 community leaders rallied around her and urged her to stay in office, and she received statements of support from her board colleagues and Mayor Daniel Lurie."
Jackie Fielder, the Mission District supervisor, has requested to be excused from Board of Supervisors meetings from April 7 to June 30, 2026, due to personal reasons. She has been absent since mid-March after checking into a hospital for mental health issues. Fielder initially considered resigning but opted for an extended leave instead. Community leaders and colleagues have expressed support for her continued service. San Francisco supervisors can take indefinite leave, and removal from office requires a trial for official misconduct.
