District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder is taking a medical leave of absence from office due to a mental health crisis. Her office will take over operations during her absence, and her fellow supervisors have expressed their support. Fielder's office stated that she requested this information to clarify the nature of mental health struggles. There is a chance that Fielder may not resign, but she is prioritizing her recovery before making any decisions. Despite section 15.105 of the city charter, Fielder isn't at risk of losing her position, as only extreme cases like conviction of a felony crime involving moral turpitude or official misconduct, which is deemed "willful in its character" by the mayor.
