"Jackie Fielder is going through an acute personal health crisis right now and we are not at liberty to share details, but we appreciate the support people have given us and are proud of her for taking care of herself."
"Fielder routinely pushed back on Lurie's policies, including his upzoning plan and a questionable $5.9 million contract with tech firm OpenGov."
"As Fielder was the Board of Supervisor's most progressive candidate, and the youngest, her departure would likely result in an even more moderate-leaning board."
"Prior to becoming supervisor, Fielder worked as a public-bank organizer and was involved in the activism surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline."
District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder announced her intention to resign due to an undisclosed health crisis while hospitalized. She has been absent from City Hall for two weeks, and her resignation has not yet been received by the Board of Supervisors. Recent staff changes in her office include an aide leaving for personal reasons. Fielder, known for her progressive stance, has been a vocal opponent of certain policies and has championed community-focused initiatives. Her departure may shift the board's political balance.
