Welcome to our weekly “Meet the Candidates” series, in which we ask local candidates who have filed to run for office to respond to a question in 100 words or fewer. Answers will be published each week.
District 4 covers the area from 19th Avenue to Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park to Lakeshore. It includes the Sunset, Parkside and Lakeshore neighborhoods.
Mission Local hosted a District 4 candidates forum on April 29 at the Ortega Branch library. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here.
You can read candidates’ responses to previous questions in the “Meet the Candidates” series here.
Just days from Election Day on June 2, only about 6,600 ballots from District 4 have been returned. Our last question for the June candidates is: What is one piece of criticism that people often make about you that is not true or unfair?
It was an opportunity to address their perceived weakness in the crowded race. Candidates talked about their age and experience in government, past record in policing and length of residency in the neighborhood.

Sometimes I hear that I’m “too young” to serve as Supervisor. At 38, I am the youngest candidate in the race, but I believe experience is about leadership, judgment, and results.
I’ve served as President of the City College Board, where I helped balance budgets and lead one of San Francisco’s largest public institutions. I’m an Army National Guard Captain who has served as a military commander, military police platoon leader, and JAG sergeant. I also served as Children’s Council policy director, leading the fight for affordable childcare, and previously worked as a union organizer and District 4 legislative aide.

Albert Chow
- Job: Owner of Great Wall Hardware, president of People of Parkside Sunset
- Age: 59
- Residency: Homeowner, living in District 4 since 1978
- Transportation: Driving and walking
- Education: Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley
- Languages: English, semi-fluent in Cantonese
One criticism I sometimes hear is that I don’t have traditional government experience and therefore may not be prepared for this role. That is completely untrue. I have always been the No. 1 champion for the Sunset.
Unlike any of the other candidates, my resume shows a long list of delivering results for the Sunset. I helped create many of our most popular events. I stood with our community and led efforts to Recall Joel Engardio and restore the Great Highway compromise. I fought for merchants and residents on the L-taraval project and so much more. Through this work I … read more here.

Natalie Gee
- Job: District 10 legislative aide
- Age: 40
- Residency: Renter, living in District 4 since 2021
- Transportation: Driving, walking and Muni
- Education: Bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State University
- Languages: English, Cantonese
Outside big money is bankrolling misinformation about my record to prop up an appointee with an even more questionable record. I’m the only candidate that built a real public safety plan and implemented bilingual office hours with police officers so neighbors can get help in their language. These aren’t talking points, it’s real leadership with real results. My record was built long before this campaign, and no amount of outside spending can touch it. Every time you see attacks, remember who is paying for them (Trump’s mega-donor Jan Koum) and remember that the Sunset is not for sale.

Jeremy Greco
- Job: Campus coordinator at Presidio Hill School
- Age: 54
- Residency: Renter, living in District 4 since 2001
- Transportation: Driving
- Education: Bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State University
- Languages: English
One criticism people make about me is that I don’t have the money or name recognition to match some campaigns. And honestly, that’s true. I’m not backed by huge PACs or political machinery. But this campaign has still earned serious attention because people recognize authenticity.
San Francisco Chronicle said my views were “in many ways most aligned” with its editorial board. At the Mission Local debate, Albert Chow — despite disagreeing with me on Sunset Dunes — said, “I’ve seen the beauty, so hats off to you, Jeremy.” Money may buy billboards and attack ads, but it can’t buy heart, honesty or vision.
Endorsed by: San Francisco Green Party (ranked #2)
David Lee
- Job: Educator at Laney College and San Francisco State University
- Age: 57
- Residency: Homeowner, living in D4 since September 2025
- Transportation: Driving, biking, public transit and walking
- Education: Bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College, master’s and doctorate degree from San Francisco State University
- Languages: English. Can understand Cantonese, Mandarin and Toishanese, but limited fluency.
One criticism I occasionally hear from political opponents is the rumor that I only moved to my current home to run for office. This is completely untrue.
I have lived on the Westside for over 40 years and served the Sunset for over 30 years. I have educated many students at SF State, registered thousands of voters in this district, and helped build neighborhood parks as a Recreation and Park commissioner. My wife and I recently bought our home on 36th Avenue because we are empty-nesters who wanted to finally settle into a neighborhood we love, close to my job … read more here.
