  • Edmund "Ed" Jew is a Chinese American politician based in San Francisco. He graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in economics and later earned a master degree in business administration at Golden Gate University. After spending several years as a businessman managing his family enterprises, he entered politics in 1980s and went on to serve in various community organizations. In 1996, he was the volunteer liaison for then District 4 supervisor Leland Yee. When Yee's successor Fiona Ma resigned to run for state assemblywoman, he decided to run for supervisor in District 4, which comprises most of the Sunset District. He was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors after capturing 52% of the votes in November 2006. Several months after taking office, the FBI raided his office and homes for allegedly extorting money from small business owners in his district. Shortly after the raid, the city attorney began investigating Jew for violating residency requirements necessary to hold his supervisor position. In September 2007, he was suspended by Mayor Gavin Newsom and later resigned in the face of extortion and perjury charges. In late 2008, he pled guilty to both charges. He was sentenced to 64 months in state prison for extortion, and a year in county jail for perjury.
