Background Daly grew up in Maryland, first in Bowie,MD and later in Gaithersburg, MD outside Washington, D.C. His father was a federal employee and consultant, and his mother an accountant.[3] Daly moved to San Francisco in 1993, having left Duke University in favor of a career in community organizing. He worked for the NGO "Empty the Shelters" in Philadelphia and in San Francisco, where he entered the world of politics as a housing rights advocate. He was a co-founder of the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition, a community group dedicated to fighting the displacement of tenants, artists and poor people in the Mission District caused by gentrification.

Political career Daly was first elected to the Board of Supervisors in a run-off election in December 2000, when San Francisco returned to district elections for Supervisor. He was re-elected in 2002 and 2006. In these elections, Daly received 8,472, 6,642 and 8,968 votes respectively.[4][5][6]
Housing and Homelessness Daly's legislative record has been focused primarily on housing development and homelessness. He has sponsored legislation to help low-income tenants of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) residential hotels, many of whom are located in his district. Specifically, Daly instituted a requirement for all SRO hotels to have a sprinkler system installed in each room to prevent fires. He also has passed legislation to ban the collection of visitor fees and to require all SRO's to provide individual mailboxes for all residents.

In a 4-year fight over Trinity Plaza Apartments, Daly won approval for a rebuild of the development that includes replacement of 360 rent-controlled units and another 230 below market rate units in the 1900 unit development.[7]
Daly negotiated a planned development on Rincon Hill, where the developer was allowed to build highrise towers in exchange for a $120 million community benefit package including new affordable housing in South of Market.[8] Rincon Hill is one of many hills in San Francisco, California. ...
In June 2006, Daly sponsored the Eviction Disclosure Ordinance, which required real estate agents to inform buyers whether a tenant was evicted from a property they wish to purchase.[9] The ballot proposition won with 52 percent of the vote.
Daly has passed 2 significant appropriations for affordable housing. In 2006, Daly authored a $20 million measure and passed a $28 million measure in 2007.
Controversial Demeanor According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Daly is "either a hothead or a passionate advocate -- depending on whose side you are on."[10] In 2001, Daly nearly came to blows with Mayor Willie Brown after Daly brought homeless activists to a meeting that was supposed to be "private." Asked to apologize, Daly replied, "I will apologize that I was lured into the mayor's finger-pointing politics."[11] In November 2004, fellow supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier lodged a petition for censure against Daly after he told a landlord advocate off at a tenants' rights hearing (the petition failed by a vote of 8-2).[12] In 2001, Daly famously told his colleagues at a supervisors' meeting, "I'm not feeling the love" when they rejected his proposals for balancing the budget, as he stormed out the room.[13] In 2002, Daly was arrested after a confrontation with police over a land use dispute concerning Hastings Law School; no charges were filed.[14] Todays San Francisco Chronicle was founded in 1865 as The Daily Dramatic Chronicle by teenage brothers Charles de Young and Michael H. de Young. ...

In 2003, serving as acting mayor while Mayor Willie Brown traveled to Tibet, Daly appointed two anti-Brown members to the Public Utilities Commission. After the City Attorney looked into its legality, one appointment was rescinded, but the other, that of Adam Werbach, stayed. Mayor Brown said that the appointment "clearly is a conspiracy to, in one manner or another, move away from the traditions, the rules, the customs and the conduct that has been the hallmark of this city, long before I became mayor of this city." But Daly said by way of explanation for his actions, "I'm an activist. I had an opportunity, and I took it."[15] The custom of assigning the acting mayor position to supervisors on a round-robin basis was discontinued after Daly's actions. Willie Lewis Brown, Jr. ...

Question Time with the Mayor In November 2006, Daly placed a non-binding Declaration of Policy, Proposition I, on the ballot requiring the mayor appear at a monthly meeting of the Board of Supervisors to answers questions from the Board of Supervisors. Daly's initial proposal was modeled after Question Time in the British Parliament. Voters approved the Declaration of Policy with 56 percent of the vote, but Newsom has declined to appear at a meeting. Instead Newsom has held town hall meetings in different San Francisco neighborhoods. Question Time is a section of proceedings in the Parliaments of the United Kingdom and several other countries which use the Westminster system, including Australia and New Zealand, and in Canada, where it is called Question Period. ...
Elimination of the Police Chief post Daly has suggested putting a charter amendment before voters in the November 2007 municipal election calling for elimination of the police chief post. Instead, the elected sheriff would oversee all law enforcement in the city and county of San Francisco. The suggestion arose from Daly's disagreements with Police Chief Heather Fong about the placement and use of police patrols. "If they keep the attacks on me, I’ll keep moving forward what I think is good public policy," Daly said. "What they fear is the end of their reign of terror in San Francisco."[16]
