2022 Elections
By Richard Ivanhoe, with help from Christin Evans, HANC Board
San Francisco could see as many as four elections in 2022. The first is on February 15, 2002. Joaquin Torres, who was appointed by Mayor Breed to replace Carmen Chu as assessor-recorder, is running unopposed to continue as assessor-recorder for the remainder of his term (through January, 2023). The measures to recall school board members Alison Collins, Gabriela Lopez, and Faauuga Molina also appear on this ballot. February 15 is also the date for the special primary election for Assembly District 17, for a replacement for David Chiu, who was appointed as City Attorney by Mayor Breed. This is a special election for the remainder of the term, which ends in January, 2023.
If no candidate for Assembly District 17 receives a majority of the vote, there will be a special general election for the seat on April 19. Only the top two vote-getters will appear on the ballot.
