SF YIMBY is proud to endorse Scott Wiener in his historic Congressional bid. The YIMBY movement would not be anywhere near where it is today if not for the work and influence of Scott Wiener. In his nine years as a State Senator, he has worked tirelessly on impactful legislation that has ignited the YIMBY movement nationwide and inspired countless other legislators throughout the country. We have no doubt he can have the same impact in Congress.

Highlights of his long legislative record include:

SB 35 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB35): one of his first bills, removed needless roadblocks and sped up the production thousands of affordable homes across California and over 3,400 in just San Francisco alone (https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/sb35-new-housing-law-17777302.php).

SB 828 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB828): reformed state planning law and actually provided a real path to require San Francisco to produce the homes it desperately needs

SB 423 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB423): permanently codified SB 35 and added provisions to make it stronger

SB 79 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB79): his most recent achievement, legalized multi-family housing near major transit hubs throughout the state

Scott has been unwavering in his commitment to building more housing, even when it was politically difficult. He has been the YIMBY movement's most important champion in elected office, and we stand with the leader who has stood with us from the beginning. As the YIMBY movement goes nationwide, we can't think of a better champion to represent us in Washington.
