Overview
- Fielder, who told reporters Friday she planned to resign, is now on medical leave while she recovers from a mental health condition.
- No written resignation is on file with the City Clerk, and her aides say the office will keep serving District 9 during her leave.
- If she steps down, Mayor Daniel Lurie would appoint a short-term supervisor until a likely November vote, a change progressives warn could shift board decisions.
- Community groups in the Mission, Bernal Heights, and Portola voiced support for her recovery and asked for privacy as the Board breaks until April 7.
- Initial reports from local outlets confirmed her hospitalization at CPMC Davies and recent missed meetings, with Sunday’s statement clarifying that she has not resigned.
