Jackie Fielder, one of San Francisco’s most outspoken progressive supervisors, is no longer planning to resign from office. The update came from her aides Sunday as she addresses “a mental health condition” that led to her hospitalization late last week.   Fielder checked into the hospital on Friday for what her office called an “acute personal health crisis” and notified city officials she intended to take a leave of absence.
