For the past 28 years, Senator Scott Wiener has worked day and night for San Franciscans, never giving up until the job is done. As a State Senator, member of the Board of Supervisors, Deputy City Attorney, and longtime community leader, he has championed progressive policies – including authoring and passing more than 100 state laws – to improve affordability and make San Franciscans safer, happier, healthier, and more secure.

Scott has never shied away from tough, important issues even at personal cost. He took on a broken status quo to help build a statewide and national pro-housing movement, despite a tidal wave of personal attacks. He aggressively advances a pro-LGBTQ legislative agenda despite intense political attacks from the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr., and Ted Cruz, in addition to an avalanche of death threats. Scott Wiener always puts the community first, even if he pays a personal price for doing so in today’s toxic political environment.

Scott served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing the district previously represented by Supervisor Harvey Milk, where he authored a number of first-in-the-nation laws, including mandating fully paid parental leave for all working parents and requiring water recycling and solar power in new developments. He focused extensively on housing and public transportation, authoring laws to expedite approval of affordable housing, legalize new in-law units, and tie public transportation funding to population growth.

Senator Wiener grew up in New Jersey, the son of a small business owner and a public school teacher, and attended public schools. He received a bachelor’s degree from Duke University and a law degree from Harvard Law School. He spent a year in Chile on a Fulbright Scholarship doing historical research. He has lived in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood since 1997.
