Housing Action Coalition✓ EndorsesAbout Joaquin Torres
Joaquín Torres came to the Assessor-Recorder's Office with a clear sense of what he wanted to do: make government something every San Franciscan can understand, navigate, and count on. That belief has shaped every role he has held across more than two decades of public service.
Joaquín was raised on the belief that government, at its best, changes lives for the better. He is the grandson of Mexican immigrants, his grandfather a butcher, his grandmother a seamstress, who worked hard to build something lasting for their families. That is who he is working for. The immigrant entrepreneur starting from scratch. The family holding on to the neighborhood they have called home for a generation. The artists and cultural institutions that give this city its soul.
As Assessor-Recorder, Joaquín leads nearly 200 professionals focused on fairly assessing all taxable property in San Francisco and keeping San Francisco's public records accurate and accessible.
