A fierce critic of President Trump, Wiener said he is running because, "San Franciscans deserve a leader who can stand up to Trump's extremist agenda. This moment demands backbone and hard work that delivers results and makes people's lives better."
In his statement, Wiener said he has passed more than 100 laws during his time in the State Senate. Approved legislation included bills expanding mental health and addiction insurance benefits, expanding the supply of housing, a ban on most law enforcement wearing face masks and a proposed tax measure to fund Bay Area transit.
A resident of San Francisco's Castro neighborhood for nearly 30 years, Wiener would be the first LGBTQ+ person to represent San Francisco in Congress if elected.
Wiener's career in politics began on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing the district that was once represented by Milk. He had also practiced law for 15 years, including as a Deputy City Attorney in the San Francisco City Attorney's Office.
