Timeline

1968

Michela Alioto-Pier (born April 29, 1968) is an American politician and small business owner who served as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2004 to 2011.

A Democrat, she represented District 2, encompassing the Marina and Pacific Heights neighborhoods.

She previously served as a member of the San Francisco Port Commission.

1981

In 1981, at age thirteen, Alioto-Pier was paralyzed from the waist down when she fell from a ski lift in the Lake Tahoe area.

At age seventeen, she was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the advisory board of the President's National Council on Disability.

Alioto-Pier later received a degree in anthropology from UCLA.

1989

Another top priority for Alioto-Pier was earthquake preparedness, especially important for her district which was hit hard by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Alioto-Pier explained: "As the district representative for a community that was really hit in Loma Prieta, it is my responsibility to make sure if something like that happens again that we know what we're doing."

1996

After working as an aide to Vice President Al Gore, Alioto-Pier made her first run for public office at 28 in 1996 against Republican Congressman Frank Riggs in California's 1st congressional district, which included Napa, Mendocino, and Humboldt counties, stretching along the coast up to the Oregon border.

She won the Democratic nomination, but lost the general election.

She is credited with mounting a strong campaign despite the loss.

At the time, she ran under the name Michela Alioto.

1998

Shortly after losing that election, Alioto-Pier announced that she would try again in 1998 but withdrew from the race in deference to fellow Democrat (and eventual winner) Mike Thompson.

Instead, she ran for the office of California Secretary of State and won the Democratic nomination but ultimately lost against Republican incumbent Bill Jones.

2002

She again ran for Secretary of State in 2002, but lost the Democratic nomination to fellow San Franciscan Kevin Shelley, whose father preceded Alioto-Pier's grandfather as that city's mayor.

2003

She was appointed to the Board of Supervisors by Gavin Newsom after he was elected mayor, in 2003.

Newsom himself was initially appointed to this seat by former mayor Willie Brown.

Alioto-Pier's paternal grandfather was former San Francisco mayor Joseph Alioto and her maternal grandfather was Michael J. Driscoll, Sr., a former San Francisco port commissioner and former San Francisco supervisor.

She is the niece of Angela Alioto, former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

She is the most recent member of the Alioto family to hold an elected political office in San Francisco.

2004

In January 2004, Alioto-Pier was appointed by Mayor Gavin Newsom to his old seat in District 2 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Alioto-Pier ran for the seat in the November 2004 election and won, and in 2006 she ran for a full term and won easily.

As a supervisor, Alioto-Pier was committed to the preservation of St. Brigid's Church, which was once slated for demolition.

In May 2004, she introduced a payroll tax exemption for biotech companies in efforts to create a biotech cluster in San Francisco which was later passed by the full Board of Supervisors.

San Francisco had over 250 biomedical companies.

As a San Francisco moderate, Alioto-Pier was attacked by San Francisco progressives for having a poor attendance record and mediocre constituent relations.

One significant source of the criticism was over Alioto-Pier's attendance record while she was giving birth to her third child, which was a first for an elected official in San Francisco.

Alioto-Pier responded by passing a family leave policy for elected officials in San Francisco.

2006

Although even-numbered districts were not slated for election until 2006, an off-year election was held for District 2 because she was an appointed supervisor.

2007

In 2007 it was announced that St. Luke's, a hospital serving under-privileged communities, would be closed to acute and sub-acute patients and serve as an outpatient facility only.

2008

In January 2008, it was announced that Alioto-Pier would lead a panel of stakeholders to save St. Luke's. "Maintaining and rebuilding St. Luke's and developing it into a first-class hospital for the Mission District and the Southeast section of San Francisco is my primary objective."

In response to the recommendations of the panel, in September 2008 California Pacific Medical Center (owner of St. Luke's) announced a reversal of their decision, stating that St. Luke's would be re-built to continue serving the communities that depend upon it.

San Francisco Department of Elections Director John Arntz issued a letter that same day in which he announced she was ineligible to run for re-election for District Two supervisor due to a 2008 ruling regarding term limits issued by City Attorney Dennis Herrera.

2009

On July 20, 2009, San Francisco Chronicle political columnists Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross broke the story of Alioto-Pier's announcement for state insurance commissioner.

"Alioto-Pier, the granddaughter of former Mayor Joe Alioto and a protégée of former Vice President Al Gore, calls it 'the most personal venture I've ever undertaken.' Having been in a wheelchair since a skiing accident at age 13, she says, 'I've easily had more personal experience with insurance companies than any of the other candidates.'"

Alioto-Pier subsequently left the race for insurance commissioner due to a leg injury.

2010

On June 3, 2010, Alioto-Pier submitted papers to register as a candidate for re-election to District Two of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Arntz wrote, "Accordingly, the Department of Elections cannot list you as a candidate for this office on the November 2, 2010 ballot or any other election materials for that election."

2011

She would have served on the Board of Supervisors for seven years when her term expired in January 2011.

Supervisors are limited to serving two four-year terms.
