Anthony Hall (born 1942) is a former American elected official. He was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2000 to 2004.[1] He resigned in 2004 to accept appointment as executive director of the Treasure Island Development Authority,[2] a post he held for only 14 months. Hall later filed papers for running against the incumbent Newsom in the 2007 mayoral election but dropped out before the election, citing Newsom's entrenchment. He was known as the lone conservative on the Board of Supervisors and surprised the other board members when he supported Matt Gonzalez's successful bid for president of the board.
