This episode continues the District 4 candidate mini-series on The Sunset Connection.

I’m speaking with every candidate who agrees to participate, using the same questions and the same format each time. The goal is simple: to give Sunset residents the opportunity to hear directly from the people asking for their vote.

In this conversation, I’m joined by Natalie Gee, Chief of Staff to Supervisor Shamann Walton and a candidate for District 4 Supervisor. Natalie discusses her priorities, her approach to problem-solving, and what she hopes to accomplish for the district. Each interview includes a shared scenario question designed to help listeners compare how candidates approach problem-solving

Local elections are often decided by very small margins. Clear, direct information matters, and this series is intended to help voters make thoughtful decisions by hearing from candidates in their own words.

About this series:
This is a non-endorsement candidate interview series.

All candidates who agreed to participate were asked the same questions in the same format. The goal is to give District 4 residents direct access to how candidates think, not to persuade or advocate for any outcome.

Any personal political views or activities of the host are independent of the podcast and do not affect participation.

This episode marks the start of a District 4 candidate mini-series on The Sunset Connection.

I’ll be speaking with every candidate who agrees to come on the podcast, using the same questions and the same format each time. The goal is simple: give Sunset residents the chance to hear directly from the people asking for their vote.

To kick things off, I’m joined by Albert Chow, a San Francisco native, longtime Sunset resident, and small business owner. We talk about what led him to run, how his background has shaped his priorities, and how he approaches tradeoffs when community voices conflict.

Local elections are often decided by very small margins. Clear, direct information matters. My hope is that this series helps voters make thoughtful decisions by hearing from candidates in their own words.

As we close out the year, I’m sharing a conversation that feels especially fitting for this moment.

In this episode, I sit down with Alan Wong, the newly appointed Supervisor for San Francisco’s District 4, to talk about his roots in the Sunset, his family’s immigration story, and the experiences that shaped his path into public service.

Before policy positions and headlines, this conversation focuses on the human side - growing up in the neighborhood, learning to serve through student government, protecting language access and education, and navigating leadership in a city that’s always in motion.

This is a reflective, grounded listen to close out the year - about people, place, and how we move forward together, even when change feels uncomfortable.

BONUS: Earlier this month, I joined the Fun Police podcast with my friends, Ben Bleiman, Sharky Laguana, and Manny Yekutiel, for a candid conversation about District 4 and the Sunset. If you’re looking for more context, that episode is linked here.
