San Francisco Assessor-Recorder — November 2022 Election
Last Updated: November 2, 2022

Assessor-Recorder

Vote Joaquín Torres

There’s just one candidate running, and he’s the incumbent: Joaquín Torres. He was appointed by Mayor London Breed in 2021 to replace Carmen Chu, who was herself appointed to City Administrator after Naomi Kelley resigned amid a corruption probe. He won the special election to fill Chu's seat in February 2022 and is now running for a full term.

Since Torres is not running against a challenger, we did not go through a formal endorsement process which includes a questionnaire. While it doesn't matter if you vote in this race, we still think you should vote for Joaquín. He's qualified and we have no reason to think he'll do a bad job.
