Many people have expressed frustration that London Breed would reward Matt Dorsey with this position days after a Board of Supervisors’ hearing on SFPD’s strategic communications unit, which he led, shed light on the practice of 'copaganda.'
Matt Dorsey waves to the crowd after being sworn in as District 6 Supervisor by Mayor London Breed at the Delancey Street Foundation on Monday.
Breed and Dorsey are betting that increased police presence and other visible indicators of public safety are voters’ top priority in District 6, if not across The City. Their focus comes at a time of growing polarization around this issue, illustrated by contentious debates in the Board of Supervisors’ chambers and the high-profile recall election of progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin next month.
“What I heard time and time again, and why I felt it was necessary to appoint Matt Dorsey to this position, every single person I talked to, for the most part, at the top of their mind was public safety,” Breed said. “I’ll never be a one-issue supervisor or a one-issue candidate,” Dorsey said. “But I’m absolutely convinced of this: If we could prioritize one issue to make real progress on, getting more people with drug addiction into drug treatment and into recovery would make progress on an array of related issues, from retail theft to auto burglary to homicides.” He went on to invoke the “police staffing crisis,” saying the police force is 25% below recommended levels.
Dorsey’s identity has put The City’s LGBTQ political organizations in a challenging spot, celebrating Dorsey’s appointment while also acknowledging their support for Mahogany, who is a transgender Black woman. In a, the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club commended Breed’s choice of Dorsey, who is white, while also writing that he and Mahogany are “both incredibly qualified LGBTQ candidates.”
