Hillary Ronen is an American elected official in San Francisco, California. She serves as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing Supervisorial District 9.[1]
District 9 includes the neighborhoods of Mission District, Bernal Heights, and the Portola.
Education and early career
Ronen received her B.A. from University of California, San Diego and her J.D. from University of California, Berkeley. After graduating, she moved to the Mission District where she joined La Raza Centro Legal.[2] She worked as an immigrant rights attorney.[3]
Political career
Ronen was a legislative aide to supervisor David Campos. She succeeded him on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors after winning election to the board in November 2016.[3] Ronen was sworn in as the supervisor for San Francisco District 9 on January 9, 2017.[4] Her election created a female majority on the board for the first time in 20 years.[5]
In 2018, Ronen fought to prevent the construction of a 75-unit building on the site of a laundromat. She argued that an environmental review of the building did not consider the impact of a shadow on a nearby schoolyard, even though an environmental review conducted by officials at the San Francisco Planning Department showed that the new construction, including its shadow, would not have an adverse impact on children at the schoolyard.[6]
Personal life
Ronen is married to attorney Francisco Ugarte. They live in the Portola neighborhood with their daughter.[7]
