SF Board of Supervisors elect new President.
Supervisor Katy Tang is the next president of the Board of Supervisors — at least until Jan. 8, when the board will vote again.
Tang, who represents District Four, was elected Tuesday on an 8-0 vote to serve the remainder of President David Chiu’s term when he is sworn in to the Assembly on Dec. 1. Tang will preside over two meetings in December, and the board will choose a permanent replacement for Chiu in January, when its new term begins.
“My priority for the next two meetings, as interim president, is to make sure we have a smooth transition, knowing we do have another vote coming up in January,” she said.
