Soup With the Supes: Supervisor Joel Engardio

Joel Engardio was elected in November to represent District 4, which consists of a chunk of the west side: The Sunset, Parkside, and Outer Sunset. A moderate, he unseated progressive incumbent Gordon Mar. Over stewed lemongrass coconut chicken soup, he lays out his case for increasing the police department’s budget to help hire officers, critiques the city’s district supervisor system, and talks about how he would cut red tape to foster small businesses. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod SFNext: Fixing Our City is part of the San Francisco Chronicle’s SFNext Project Got a tip, question, comment?
