Two transgender women who applied to be appointed to the powerful San Francisco Police Commission spoke at a Board of Supervisors Rules Committee meeting December 6, but a final vote won't be taken until next week.
The seat was vacated earlier this year by longtime lesbian commissioner Petra DeJesus As the Bay Area Reporter previously reported, DeJesus was the only openly LGBTQ member of the commission at the time of her retirement April 30.
An associate at the law firm Kazan, McClain, Satterley and Greenwood, she'd served on the commission for 15 years. Nevertheless, it looks like the three San Francisco supervisors on the committee that forwards nominations to the entire board won't be going with Veronika Fimbres or Stephen Schwartz
