Isabella Alcaraz becomes San Francisco’s first Filipina District Supervisor

After Joel Engardio lost a recall election over his support for the closing of San Francisco’s Great Highway, San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie appointed Isabella Alcaraz as the new Supervisor of the Sunset District. The 29 year teacher and former pet store owner is San Francisco’s first Filipina District Supervisor.

Isabella “Beya” Alcaraz is a political newcomer who has not held office before.  She reportedly got her job by introducing herself to the mayor and saying she wanted the job. Alcaraz will service in the role until a special election in June 2026.
