SUPERVISOR CONNIE CHAN

represents District 1 on the‬‭ Board of Supervisors, including the Inner‬ Richmond, Central Richmond, Outer Richmond, Lone Mountain, Golden Gate Park, Lincoln‬ Park, University of San Francisco, Sea Cliff, and Presidio Terrace. She was first elected in‬ November 2020 and reelected in November 2024. She is the Chair of the Board of Supervisor‬s Budget Committee, having served in that capacity since February 2023. She is a member of‬ the San Francisco County Transit Authority, the San Francisco Local Agency Formation‬ Commission, and the Free City College Oversight Committee.‬


‭Born in Hong Kong, she moved to San Francisco at the age of 13 with her mother and younger‬ brother. Her family was able to obtain a rent-controlled apartment in Chinatown and her mother‬ developed the skills she needed for a new career, as a claims processor at Chinese Hospital,‬ thanks to classes at City College of San Francisco.‬

After graduating from Galileo High School, Connie earned her bachelor’s degree from the‬ University of California, Davis and then went to work giving back to the community that had‬ done so much for her family. She started her career as a volunteer interpreter, working with pro‬ bono attorneys for the SF Bar Association's Volunteer Legal Outreach, and as a community‬ organizer for SF SAFE and the Community Youth Center.‬


‭Connie has served our City at every level and understands that it’s not just important to pass‬ good laws, but equally important that they be implemented equitably in order to serve all San‬ Franciscans.

 

In 2006, she was recruited by then-Supervisor Sophie Maxwell to serve as a‬ legislative aide, and later served as an aide to then-District Attorney Kamala D. Harris as well as‬ Supervisor Aaron Peskin. She also served as an aide to then-Assemblymember Kevin Mullin,‬ advocating for Bay Area residents. In addition to her local and state level policy work, Connie‬
‭ has held roles in administration at the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department and City‬ College of San Francisco.‬


‭Connie’s long-time partner Ed became a San Francisco firefighter in 2011 – the same year they‬ bought their home in the Richmond District. Today, they are raising their son who attends school in the Richmond.‬

Connie is honored to serve District 1 residents. As Supervisor, she works to ensure the same‬ opportunities that San Francisco has given her are available for all San Franciscans now and for‬ generations to come‬.
