Davis was asked to resign from her post in September 2024 by former Mayor London Breed. She has since faced several investigations into her spending, including by the City Attorney's office, and for the past 18 months, by the District Attorney.
It's been over a year now since Sheryl Davis resigned as executive director of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission (HRC), amid a bombshell report about her apparent use of taxpayer dollars for frivolous expenses like a $10,000 house rental on Martha's Vineyard. Davis, who was also appointed by former Mayor London Breed to lead the mayor's Dream Keeper initiative which was intended to direct more city funds to the city's historically underserved Black population now may face more scrutiny after the release of a city audit report detailing the full extent of that unethical spending.
