}}John Avalos is an American politician. He was member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing District 11. The district consists of the Crocker-Amazon, Excelsior, Ingleside, Oceanview, and Outer Mission districts. Avalos was elected on November 4, 2008 in the 2008 San Francisco elections and took office on January 8, 2009. He was termed out of office and succeeded in January 2017 by Ahsha Safaí.[2]

Early life

Avalos was born in Wilmington, California. His mother, an office manager, and his father, a member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, raised seven children.[3]

His parents divorced when he was young, and his mother cared for them on her own. Avalos moved to Andover, Massachusetts as a teenager and graduated from Andover High School in 1982.[4]

Avalos earned a bachelor's degree in English from University of California, Santa Barbara and master's degree in social work from San Francisco State University.

He was the first person in his family to graduate from college.

Early political and organizing work

Avalos worked as an organizer for Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth in San Francisco's Excelsior District, and on the Justice for Janitors Campaign for Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1877. Avalos worked as an educator and counselor for the Columbia Park Boys and Girls Club, Mission Neighborhood Health Center, and San Francisco Conservation Corps.[5]

For four years before being elected to the Board of Supervisors, Avalos was a legislative aide for supervisor Chris Daly.[6]

San Francisco supervisor

On November 4, 2008, John Avalos won the election for San Francisco District 11 supervisor with 28.23% of the total votes in round one and 52.93% in round four, under the city's instant-runoff voting system.[7]

District 11 includes the Outer Mission, Excelsior, Oceanview, Merced Heights, Cayuga, and Ingleside neighborhoods.

As chair of the Budget and Finance Committee in 2009 and 2010, John Avalos led the Board of Supervisors' effort to approve budgets, closing deficits of over $500 million. In January 2011, Avalos was appointed to serve as chair of the City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee.[8]

In June 2010, Avalos introduced a resolution condemning "Israel's military attack on the freedom flotilla".[9]

On Tuesday, December 14, 2010, Avalos' local hiring ordinance passed with an 8-3 vote. This legislation mandates that up to 50% of labor hours on San Francisco public works projects go to San Francisco residents. Requirements start at 20% in the first year, building up to 50% after seven years.[10]

Avalos voted to reinstate Ross Mirkarimi as sheriff after Mayor Ed Lee initiated official removal proceedings against Sheriff Mirkarimi. Avalos said that removing Mirkarimi would be "a dangerous precedent to set and a slippery slope to open up as a political tool."[11]

In 2013 Avalos sponsored legislation to prohibit San Francisco from complying with Federal authorities' requests to "hold" illegal immigrants who may be subject to deportation.[12]

Candidacy for mayor (2011)

On April 18, 2011, Avalos filed to run for mayor of San Francisco as a progressive candidate.[13] Avalos placed second in the race after incumbent Mayor Ed Lee.[14]

Personal life

Avalos was married to Karen (née Zapata), a public-school teacher, and they have two children. Avalos is a third-generation Mexican American, Zapata a first-generation Peruvian American.[15]

Since 2014 Avalos and his wife have been separated. He revealed that he had an affair with his legislative aide, Raquel Redondiez. As of July 2014, Redondiez has been on unpaid leave from her job; the leave began May 28, 2014 and will expire at the end of July. Avalos said, "I felt it was most appropriate for her to find employment outside this office... I let a lot of people down, and I’m really sorry."[16]
