SF YIMBY endorses Alan Wong for San Francisco City Supervisor, District 4. Supervisor Alan Wong took office on December 1, 2025. In his short time on the Board so far, he has already been a pro-housing champion. Alan voted to approve the Family Zoning Plan, strongly demonstrating his support for our cause - that we need more homes in the Sunset and across the city. Alan also supports removing unnecessary permitting and development fees, streamlining the overly complex and lengthy approval processes, and offering credits and waivers for constructing new Accessory Dwelling Units in the city. Though we have developed concerns over NIMBY stances on key housing projects in his area, we feel he is still the best choice for the Sunset in this election.

We recommend voting for Alan Wong for Supervisor, District 4.

Wong was appointed by Mayor Lurie in December 2025, chosen from five finalists in an open process, and won the June special election (https://elections.growsf.org/2026-06-02/supervisor-d4/?metric=final-round) with 46% of first-choice votes in a five-candidate field, nearly double his closest rival, and finished with 64.3% in the final ranked-choice round. He grew up in the Sunset, attended Lincoln High, and came to the job with a long record of public service: labor organizer, legislative aide to a former D4 Supervisor, policy lead at the Children's Council of San Francisco, Community College Board Trustee, and First Lieutenant in the Army National Guard.

"The Sunset is the community I love and the only home I've ever known. Serving as Supervisor is the greatest honor of my life. I will approach this work with a public servant's heart. As a veteran, I will always put my community and my country first—above partisanship or ideology."

Alan Wong, Supervisor, District 4

What he's done in office

In less than a year, Wong has built the record we hoped for:

• His first vote was for Mayor Lurie's Family Zoning Plan (https://sfstandard.com/2025/12/02/family-zoning-supervisors-vote-daniel-lurie/), breaking with the district's anti-density history. He said blocking it risked "losing local control, which is not acceptable."
• He co-sponsored doubling the maximum fine for sideshows (https://localnewsmatters.org/2025/12/30/no-place-in-our-neighborhoods-sf-supes-wong-sauter-join-forces-against-sideshows/) after one took over Kirkham and La Playa, matching Oakland's and San Jose's penalties.
• He co-sponsored accepting a $6.25M federal grant that funds 50 police officer positions (https://richmondsunsetnews.com/2026/05/13/city-hall-alan-wong-5/), a police retention agreement, and Supervisor Dorsey's drug-free supportive housing legislation.
• His office is helping Sunset residents petition SFMTA to convert streets to angled parking (https://abc7news.com/post/sunset-supervisor-alan-wong-pushes-convert-existing-streets-angled-90-degree-parking-due-worsening-sf-availability/18835641/), adding spaces without slowing the buses.

The Great Highway

Wong's first act in office was submitting a ballot measure to re-open the Great Highway, reflecting the majority view in his district. It fell one Board signature short (https://sfist.com/2026/01/13/supervisor-alan-wong-fails-to-get-his-ballot-measure-to-bring-cars-back-to-the-great-highway/). That effort has since been superseded by the citizen-led Great Highway for Everyone Act (https://missionlocal.org/2026/07/san-francisco-great-highway-ballot-measure/), which would reopen the road to cars on weekdays while keeping it car-free on weekends. Organizers submitted more than 15,000 signatures in July, well above the roughly 10,600 required to reach the November ballot, and Wong supports the measure.

His priorities for a full term

A fully staffed police force, with recruitment aimed at bilingual officers who speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish, and desk jobs moved to civilians so sworn officers return to patrol. Responsive government: he dedicates half his staff time to constituent services and commits to answering any constituent concern within 24 hours. And a small business agenda that replaces the "byzantine maze" of permits with a straightforward checklist (https://growsf.org/voter-guide/questionnaires/june-2026/alan-wong/), plus easier childcare openings and better school information for Sunset families.

Where Alan Wong stands

District 4 asked for a supervisor who listens, and in less than a year Wong has voted their priorities, delivered visible wins, and won their votes once already. That's why he has our endorsement.

San Francisco Board of Supervisors District 4 – Alan Wong

SFWPC recommends Alan Wong for endorsement. Supervisor Wong has a record of serving the community through his work as a union organizer, as well as on the Children’s Council and the City College Board of Trustees. We strongly appreciate the collaboration we have had with him on the City College Board of Trustees, and hope to continue that collaboration in office as he represents the Sunset District.

At the same time, we believe that it is important to acknowledge that this race has attracted significant dark money, and we are concerned by the attacks on women and women of color that happened during the June cycle. We would like to see Supervisor Wong confront these more directly.

Since becoming supervisor in 2025, Wong has supported policies necessary for San Francisco’s recovery. Wong supports fully staffing SFPD (https://www.instagram.com/p/DXsyfJUDde1/?__d=11) and making it easier for small businesses to open and operate in the city. Wong is also experienced (https://alanwong.com/meet-alan/): he is a life-long Sunset resident, two-term City College Board of Trustees President, former legislative aide, former policy director for Children’s Council of SF, and a California Army National Guard member. And D4 residents widely approve of the job Wong is doing so far - in the previous June special election, Wong won over 60% of the vote. (https://www.sfelections.org/results/20260602w/index.html)

Endorsement: Alan Wong #1

Supervisor Wong has been focused on the basics, and he plans to keep it that way. He’s worked hard to reform outdated and “dumb” laws and keep his district’s streets clean and safe.

Note: Our D4 and D1 members are especially appreciative that he endorsed Proposition G, supports a compromise, and that he is opposed to Proposition B. We hope to see him be more vocal in the coming weeks in his support of Prop G.

Nod to Rank Choice Voting: Endorsement: Albert Chow #2

While Alan is our top choice here, Albert is a relentless advocate and supporter of District 4. He has lived in the district for 40 plus years and is a small business owner. He was an integral part of the Engardio recall and getting Proposition G on the ballot this November. Albert is a solid #2 choice.

In Districts 4 and 6, we recommend Alan Wong and Matt Dorsey as the candidates best positioned to stand up for safe streets, functional government, and the everyday concerns of residents.
