Marjan Philhour is an American politician from California, and is currently a candidate for San Francisco Board of Supervisors in District 1.[1] District 1 includes the Richmond, Lone Mountain, Sea Cliff, and Presidio Terrace neighborhoods, and parts of Golden Gate Park.
Philhour was born in San Francisco, California.[2] She is a 1996 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley.[2] She has served as an aide to former California Governor Gray Davis, and on the legislative staffs of United States Representatives Tom Lantos, Nita Lowey and Lynn Rivers.[2] Philhour also served as a senior adviser to San Francisco Mayor London Breed.[3]
Philhour previously ran for the Board of Supervisors in 2020.[4] That year, Philhour lost by 125 votes to Connie Chan, who had been endorsed by the outgoing incumbent, Sandra Lee Fewer.[5][2]
The 2024 election is shaping up as a rematch between Philhour and Chan, and has been described as "hotly contested".[6] The race has grown contentious after an activist aligned with Chan was caught tearing down a Philhour sign that had been posted with permission in a local business.[1] The race is likely to turn on the issues of crime and public safety.[4] Chan has opposed hiring more police officers, and was an ally of District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who was recalled in 2022.[4] Philhour has been endorsed by the San Francisco Police Officers Association.[7]
