Lurie's Reported Short List' for District 4 Supervisor Appointment Becomes Public

"After the bungled Beya Alcaraz appointment for District 4 supervisor, Mayor Lurie reportedly has a short list of candidates he's considering as the new replacement, and thankfully, they are all more experienced than his last pick. The politically catastrophic Beya Alacaraz District 4 supervisor appointment to replace the recalled Joel Engardio lasted only seven days before Alcaraz was engulfed in scandals over business and tax practices at the business she used to own."

"And a red-faced Mayor Daniel Lurie is apparently now vetting candidates' business and tax backgrounds a little more thoroughly as he looks for a second consecutive replacement pick. That process may be moving quickly this time. The Chronicle reports that Lurie now has a short list of five candidates he's considering for District 4 supervisor, and we will say that each is much more experienced than Alcaraz was."

Beya Alcaraz served only seven days as District 4 supervisor before scandals emerged involving business and tax practices at a business she formerly owned. The brief tenure appears to make Alcaraz the city's shortest-serving supervisor. Mayor Daniel Lurie is now vetting candidates' business and tax backgrounds more thoroughly while seeking a new replacement. Lurie has a short list of five candidates under consideration, two of whom have already declared runs for the June 2026 primary. Every candidate on the list is Asian American, reflecting a large Chinese American population in District 4. Albert Chow, a Great Wall Hardware owner, is among those named.
