Ella Hill Hutch (June 9, 1923- February 25, 1981) was the first African American woman to serve on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (1977). Hutch took part in many offices before her service on the Board in 1977. She started her career among the International Longshore and Warehouse Union for 25 years, then branched off and became more politically active concerning policy and political issues within San Francisco. She took part in several councils and boards, including the Democratic County Central Committee in 1966, the Filmore Tenants Council, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board, and the Goloden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District. She took public office in 1977 as a Board of Supervisors for District 4, and later city-wide. She focused on government-financed housing and public transportation.
