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. Mayor Breed conducted a virtual swearing-in ceremony with Burton this afternoon.
"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. As we embark on the challenging path of recovery from COVID and confront the significant challenges of climate change, the Port will continue to be an important part of our City's economy and resilience."
Mayor Breed appointed Burton to serve on the Port Commission because of his passion for the Port and his knowledge of the Port's complex operations and related policy. Burton was responsible for creating the San Francisco Port Commission 52 years ago.
