Bio

Matt Haney, 44, took San Francisco’s progressive politics to the legislature when he won office in 2022 in a special election to replace Assemblyman David Chiu. He was a San Francisco Supervisor from 2019 to 2022. Prior to that, he spent six years on the San Francisco Board of Education. He has a degree in urban development from UC Berkeley and a master’s and a law degree from Stanford University. In the Assembly, Haney introduced a resolution that declared August Transgender History Month, and he authored a bill Gov. Newsom vetoed that would allow for Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes in California. He’s frequently advocated for renters. Haney lives in the Tenderloin with two orange tabby cats.
