San Francisco Board of Supervisors Alcaraz was appointed and sworn in as District 4 Supervisor by Mayor Daniel Lurie on November 6, 2025, following the recall of Joel Engardio in September.

Alcaraz resigned after one week, following media reports of published text messages in which Alcaraz discussed paying employees off the books to avoid payroll taxes and intentionally claiming personal meals and alcohol purchases as business expenses to reduce her tax liability. These revelations, together with reporting that her former pet shop had left over a dozen animals dead due to neglect and poor sanitary conditions under her ownership, led Mayor Lurie to request her resignation.
