Lurie Names Alan Wong as Sunset District Supervisor Ahead of Zoning Vote

The choice reflects a revamped vetting process following a botched appointment.

Overview

  • Wong will be sworn in Monday at Lincoln High School and will serve until a June 2026 election decides who completes the term.
  • Supervisors are expected to vote Tuesday on the mayor’s Family Zoning upzoning plan for the west side, and Wong has not stated his position.
  • The Sunset native is a City College trustee and former aide to ex-Supervisor Gordon Mar, serves in the California National Guard, and works as policy director at the Children’s Council of San Francisco.
  • After Beya Alcaraz resigned one week into her appointment, the mayor’s office added a five-page questionnaire and public finalist events that surfaced issues with several candidates.
  • Wong becomes the district’s third supervisor in months following Joel Engardio’s recall and Alcaraz’s resignation, with the Great Highway/Prop K fight still simmering; Mission Local reports he said he personally voted no on Prop K.
