Supervisor Matt Haney to resign; sworn in as assemblymember‑elect May 3

Supervisor Matt Haney told colleagues at the Board of Supervisors meeting on April 26 that he will resign his seat and be sworn in as the Assemblymember representing California Assembly District 17 on Tuesday, May 3.

“I will be resigning on next Tuesday, May 3. So this will be my last board meeting,” Supervisor Matt Haney said during the meeting. He added that he will be sworn in at 10 a.m. on May 3 and said he intends to continue working with San Francisco leaders at the state level.

Haney, who represented District 6 on the board, said he was proud of work on homelessness, housing and COVID response and thanked his staff, the clerk’s office and department partners. He told colleagues that a small portion of District 1 will be in AD‑17 under current lines and that he will continue to collaborate with supervisors across the city.

Colleagues offered public congratulations. “I wish you the best, as you take this next step in your career,” Supervisor Melgar said. Supervisor Safaie added that it had been “a true pleasure serving with you” and praised Haney’s leadership of the board’s budget committee.

Several supervisors recalled shared projects with Haney, citing his roles in SIP‑hotel legislation, the free Muni pilot, public banking advocacy and partnerships around juvenile justice, mental‑health initiatives and homelessness responses. Haney said he intends to keep an open door for supervisors to request state‑level help on local issues and thanked his staff by name.

The board indicated it will prepare an engrossed resolution and a separate item for the next agenda to honor Haney’s service. Haney’s last formal day on the board was set by his statement to colleagues and the meeting record; administrative steps for resignation and successor arrangements were not detailed on the transcript.

The meeting adjourned after additional in‑memoriams and remarks.
