Bio

Scott Wiener, 56, a former San Francisco supervisor, is running for U.S Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s seat after she announced her retirement. Born in New Jersey, he has a bachelor’s degree from Duke University and a law degree from Harvard Law School. After graduating, he was a law clerk for the New Jersey Supreme Court, spent time in private practice and was a deputy San Francisco city attorney. He was elected to the board of San Francisco supervisors in 2010. As one of the more influential and outspoken members of the Senate, Wiener authored several bills focused on helping the LGBTQ community and addressing climate change. He helped spearhead efforts to build more homes in California, including a key role in reforming the state’s signature environmental law to waive regulations.
