SAN FRANCISCO - As polls closed Tuesday night in the San Francisco special election to recall District 4 Supervisor Joel Engardio, an overwhelming 65% of the voters in the first round of results decided to recall the supervisor who had incensed many in his district because he supported the closure of the Great Highway to create oceanfront park in the Sunset neighborhood.
Engardio conceded with the following statement: "My time as a supervisor is going to be shorter than expected. I accept the election results. But we can still celebrate because we're on the right side of history. Sunset Dunes is a success. It's good for the environment, it's good for our local economy, it's bringing joy to people of all ages."
The results from the first summary report show a total of 15,468 votes cas
