Supervisor Stephen Sherrill has been a reliable vote for key pieces of the mayor's legislative agenda.

At a Monday press conference at the San Francisco Police Department’s Northern District Station, Sherrill described the program as “a first-in-the-nation lifesaving program and partnership.” 

“Small businesses are the backbone of San Francisco. But for too long, it’s been too hard and too expensive to get started. First Year Free helps change that. By extending this program, we’re continuing to cut red tape, lower startup costs, and make it easier to fill empty storefronts. That brings life back to our commercial corridors and boosts every business on the block. If you want to open a business in San Francisco, we want you here."

District 2 Supervisor Stephen Sherrill introduced legislation creating an entertainment zone for Union Street, known for its trendy restaurants, boutiques, and salons, during roll call at the Board of Supervisors meeting on March 4. “Throughout this city restaurants, bars, and small businesses are still fighting to recover, and I think it’s incredibly important to note that 2024 was perhaps the hardest year for restaurants since 2008, and we need to be doing more to help them thrive."

Supervisor Stephen Sherrill immediately worked with the SF Recreation and Parks Department to install 4 solar lights in the park to deter drug activities and is hosting a public safety town hall on March 6th at the Marina Middle School with the Chief of Police Bill Scott, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, and Sheriff Paul Miyamoto.

"My priority is, first and foremost, public safety. Supporting small businesses is my second priority. Responding to residents and working with them to not only react to their needs, but also to proactively address them. We need to make it easier to be in San Francisco."

"The overarching issue is that agencies need to be more responsive and transparent to residents. District 2 wants a government that acts on problems and doesn't throw up roadblocks."
