Márquez, a lifelong resident of the district, will replace popular supervisor Richard Valle, who passed away in February. During the public comment portion of the meeting, numerous labor advocates argued that Valle would have wanted the board to appoint a different candidate, Ariana Casanova, as his successor. Casanova moved to the district just six weeks ago, which some critics argued should have made her ineligible for the role. She was eliminated after the first vote.
Márquez said she hopes to pick up where Valle left off. She said she’s already reached out to the other board members to get a better understanding of their districts, and wants to examine any initiatives Valle may have left unfinished. She also hopes to bring his same calm demeanor to the Board of Supervisors.
In the final round of voting, the board ultimately had to choose between Márquez and Keng, although they were quick to say that all the candidates were capable and qualified.
