Biography
For the past 26 years, Senator Scott Wiener has worked day and night to deliver greater affordability and make San Francisco safer, happier, healthier, and more secure. His pioneering work passing progressive priorities in over 100 state laws has earned him the titles of “California’s most impressive lawmaker” (The San Francisco Chronicle).
Scott has never shied away from tough, important issues even at personal cost. As California Senator, Scott aggressively advances a pro-LGBTQ legislative agenda despite intense political attacks from the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr., Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, and Ted Cruz, in addition to an avalanche of death threats.
Scott served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing the district previously represented by Supervisor Harvey Milk. He 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 has lived in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood since 1997.
