San Francisco's Sunset and Parkside neighborhoods are choosing a supervisor for the second time this year. District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong, appointed by Mayor Daniel Lurie on Dec. 1 and elected in the June special election, is running for a full four-year term on Nov. 3 against hardware store owner Albert Chow and school campus coordinator Jeremy Julian Greco, according to the city's candidate list.
Why it matters: The seat has been at the center of the Great Highway fight. Former Supervisor Joel Engardio was recalled in September 2025, largely over his support for the 2024 measure that closed two miles of the road to create Sunset Dunes park, the San Francisco Examiner reports. Voters decide Prop G, which would reopen it to cars on weekdays, on the same ballot.
How June went
Wong took first place in June with 15,227 votes, or 64.37%, after four rounds of ranked-choice counting, the Examiner reported. Chow finished third and Greco fourth. The race uses ranked-choice voting again in November.
The candidates
- Alan Wong, a Sunset native and former City College board president, is widely seen as part of the board's moderate majority. He voted for Lurie's Family Zoning plan on his second day in office and co-sponsored the police union contract with a cumulative 14% raise. He told the Examiner his priorities are public safety, homelessness, a more responsive government and cutting red tape, and that reopening the Great Highway to cars on weekdays is the right thing to do. He is endorsed by Lurie and the SF Democratic Party.
- Albert Chow, owner of Great Wall Hardware and president of People of Parkside Sunset, helped lead the Engardio recall. He told NBC Bay Area that Sunset Dunes is underused on weekdays while "17,000 cars use that road every day, rain or shine." His campaign spent more than $272,500 before June, but he told the Examiner he is not actively campaigning and couldn't ask people for money given his low odds.
- Jeremy Julian Greco is running a shoestring campaign. He told the Examiner he sees a path because Wong won only 11,647 first-round votes of the 25,275 counted. Greco supports keeping Sunset Dunes, according to the San Francisco League of Conservation Voters.
The money and endorsements
Outside spending for Wong was heavy in June: SF Believes, an independent committee backed by business figures who supported Lurie, spent $580,000, and GrowSF spent $293,800, the Examiner reported. This fall the campaign cash has dropped off sharply.
The League of Conservation Voters declined to endorse anyone. It said Wong supports more housing density and transit priority but not a permanent Sunset Dunes park, and noted he now opposes a path to public power ownership, which he supported in June. It said Greco backs the park but had "unclear reservations" about upzoning.
Other SF races
