Facts: 

She is the first black woman to hold the post.

She is known to be very frank, which has ruffled feathers and cost her key endorsements in the past.

She is a lifelong resident of the city. She grew up with her grandmother in the city’s housing projects and public housing has been an important part and particular focus of her political career. She got her start in politics working as an intern for the Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services under former Mayor Willie Brown.

She earned a bachelor’s degree at UC Davis and received her master’s degree in public administration at the University of San Francisco.
