Aaron Dan Peskin (born June 17, 1964) is an American elected official in San Francisco, California. He is a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing District 3. He was elected in 2015,[1] having previously served two terms in 2001–2009.[2]
District 3 includes the neighborhoods of North Beach, Chinatown, Telegraph Hill, North Waterfront, Financial District, Nob Hill, Union Square, Maiden Lane, Polk Gulch and part of Russian Hill.
At the end of his second set of two terms as Supervisor, Peskin ran as a candidate in the 2024 San Francisco mayoral election, where he placed third behind incumbent mayor London Breed and winner Daniel Lurie.[3]
During his tenure on the Board of Supervisors, Peskin has been known both as a "neighborhood preservationist" by supporters or as a "NIMBY" by critics, as he has regularly sought to block new housing and other developments.[4][5][6]
