The2000San FranciscoBoard of Supervisors elections occurred on November 7, 2000, with a runoff election held on December 12, 2000. All eleven seats were contested. Elections to odd-numbered districts were to four-year terms, while elections to even-numbered districts were to transitional two-year terms, then four-year terms thereafter.
This election was the first following the reintroduction of electoral districts for the Board of Supervisors in 2000; previously, except for a short period of time, supervisors were elected at-large. The first districts, implemented in 1977, sawHarvey Milk andDan White attain office; the districts were abolished in 1980 in the wake of Milk's assassination by White.
Municipal elections inCalifornia are officially non-partisan, though most candidates in San Francisco do receive funding and support from various political parties.
This district consists of theRichmond District. Incumbent supervisorMichael Yaki was defeated byJake McGoldrick in the runoff.
