San Francisco, CA — Mayor London N. Breed today announced that Former State Senator John Burton has been officially sworn in to the San Francisco Port Commission, following unanimous approval by the Board of Supervisors.

"I am excited that John will serve on the Port Commission, and that he was interested in continuing his long legacy of public service in this way," said Mayor Breed. "We are lucky to have someone of his experience, knowledge, and dedication to San Francisco on the Commission.
