Alan Wong has been a progressive and he's been a moderate. Now he's the Sunset's newest supervisor.

"San Francisco's Sunset District welcomed its newest representative, Alan Wong, on Monday - its third supervisor since October. As he was sworn in by Mayor Daniel Lurie, the crowd reflected the 38-year-old's political journey: While Wong's early political life was marked by progressive positions, allies and endorsements, the hundreds gathered for the occasion were largely moderates, many of them allies of the mayor."

"In 2024 he supported Free City College in 2024 - but also backed Catherine Stefani, who had voted against it, in her successful run for State Assembly race. Wong supported Danny Sauter - a moderate - over Sharon Lai in District 3, but backed progressive candidate Chyanne Chen in District 11. In 2025, Wong ran as part of a pro-development slate to be elected as a delegate to the California Democratic Party."

Alan Wong, 38, was sworn in as the Sunset District supervisor, becoming the district's third supervisor since October. Hundreds attended the swearing-in, with many attendees identified as moderates and allies of Mayor Daniel Lurie. Wong previously served on the City College Board of Trustees, winning elections in 2020 and 2024 with union support, and worked as an aide to former Supervisor Gordon Mar from 2019 to 2023. His endorsements and alliances have included both progressive and moderate candidates, and he ran on a pro-development slate in 2025. Wong advocated reallocating 25 percent of the SFPD budget and declined law enforcement union donations, while also serving on the law-and-order group Stop Crime SF. Colleagues describe him as inconsistent and hard to pin down.
