Marjan Philhour leads in race for District 1 seat on San Francisco Board of Supervisors

Preliminary results in the race to represent District 1 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors show longtime challenger Marjan Philhour narrowly ahead of incumbent Connie Chan on the fourth round of ranked choice voting. 

The race remains too close to call but Philhour had a tally of 9,943 votes to Chan’s 9,908 votes after the transfer of votes from other candidates who were eliminated in the first three rounds, according to the initial returns in Tuesday’s election. District 1 includes the Richmond District north of Golden Gate Park.
