Scott Wiener (born May 11, 1970)[1] is an American politician and a member of the California State Senate. A Democrat, he represents the 11th Senatorial District, encompassing San Francisco and parts of San Mateo County.
Prior to his election to the State Senate in 2016, Wiener served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing District 8.[2][3] He also served as Chair of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, represented San Francisco as a commissioner on the regional Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and represented San Francisco as a director on the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District Board.
During his political career, Wiener has been known as a prominent advocate for various measures to facilitate more housing construction in California to alleviate the California housing shortage.
In March 2023, he formed an exploratory committee for a congressional campaign in the 11th district. The seat is currently held by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Wiener has implied that he will run only if Pelosi retires.[4]
