Supes committee assignments: Chan runs budget (and Mandelman will be swing vote) - 48 hills
Briefly

The new committee assignments of the Board of Supervisors reveal a predictable structure with Sup. Rafael Mandelman as president. The Budget and Finance Committee is led by Conservative Sup. Connie Chan, with strong backing from pro-police members. As the financial deficit looms large, the committee's dynamic is crucial to the upcoming debates on Mayor Daniel Lurie's budget. Other committees also feature various leaderships focusing on different issues, notably public safety and transportation. The gender representation shows women in leadership roles, albeit with a disparity in committee memberships compared to their male counterparts.
The recent committee assignments by the Board of Supervisors indicate a conservative majority in crucial finance discussions, which could shape future budgetary decisions.
Budgeting will be challenging, especially with a potential $1 billion deficit looming if federal funding for sanctuary cities is cut by the Trump administration.
Mandelman's presidency could lead to significant influence in swing votes, especially in the major committees overseeing budget and public safety.
The gender dynamics within the committee positions show a slight disparity, with men occupying dual roles while women are more limited in committee representation.
