"My hopes for the Sunset haven't changed. I've heard again and again about the fraught politics that have divided District 4, and I believe the residents of this community deserve better. They 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."
"From Streetsblog's view, this is just more evidence of the utter stupidity of recalls and the need for reform to make them far more difficult to carry out, especially near the end of a politician's term. This has been incredibly wasteful, expensive, and has left the district without representation. Mayor Lurie should appoint someone from Engardio's staff who is experienced and vetted and can get on with the hard work of governing."
Beya Alcaraz resigned Thursday, one week after being appointed by Mayor Daniel Lurie to replace recalled District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio. Her resignation followed questions about her inexperience, alleged mismanagement of a pet store, and texts concerning tax evasion. Alcaraz had signaled willingness to remove Sunset Dunes and reopen the Upper Great Highway to cars, drawing criticism from local advocates. Mayor Lurie's office said residents deserve a supervisor fully dedicated to representing them and vowed to seek a replacement immediately. Streetsblog criticized recent recalls as wasteful and urged appointing an experienced staff member from Engardio's office. Advocates seek an appointee who opposes a third Sunset Dunes referendum.
