S.F. Democratic Party: We believe in nothing

This is certainly driving rancor and discussion more than his relatively abridged legislative record, strategists said. Since taking office in January 2023, Engardio has sponsored 29 pieces of legislation, mostly focusing on district issues. Only nine of those are ordinances that bring actual policy change.
