SF YIMBY's voter guide for the June 2026 Primary
Explanations for endorsements are below.
US Congress California District 11
SF YIMBY is proud to endorse Scott Wiener in his historic Congressional bid. The YIMBY movement would not be anywhere near where it is today if not for the work and influence of Scott Wiener. In his nine years as a State Senator, he has worked tirelessly on impactful legislation that has ignited the YIMBY movement nationwide and inspired countless other legislators throughout the country. We have no doubt he can have the same impact in Congress.
Highlights of his long legislative record include:
SB 35: one of his first bills, removed needless roadblocks and sped up the production thousands of affordable homes across California and over 3,400 in just San Francisco alone.
SB 828: reformed state planning law and actually provided a real path to require San Francisco to produce the homes it desperately needs
SB 423: permanently codified SB 35 and added provisions to make it stronger
SB 79: his most recent achievement, legalized multi-family housing near major transit hubs throughout the state
Scott has been unwavering in his commitment to building more housing, even when it was politically difficult. He has been the YIMBY movement's most important champion in elected office, and we stand with the leader who has stood with us from the beginning. As the YIMBY movement goes nationwide, we can't think of a better champion to represent us in Washington.
San Francisco Board of Supervisors District 2
SF YIMBY and its District 2 subchapter Northern Neighbors proudly endorses Stephen Sherrill for San Francisco City Supervisor, District 2.
Over his time in office, Supervisor Sherrill has demonstrated a results-oriented approach that reflects the priorities of his district. We have been encouraged by his pro-housing record, including his vote and vocal support for the Family Zoning Plan, and his willingness to help advance key projects that add homes such as 3333 and 3700 California Street. These actions show a clear understanding that addressing the housing shortage is essential to maintaining the vitality of District 2 and the City as a whole.
Equally important, Supervisor Sherrill has been consistently accessible and engaged with community organizations, including ours. While we have not always agreed with every position he has taken, his proactive engagement with us on issues that he knows we care about, stands out.
In contrast, his opponent would risk reversing hard-won progress and is mostly known for leading those voices that oppose de-facto all new homes. We are looking forward to actively supporting Stephen Sherrill’s campaign so San Francisco moves forward, not backwards, on solving the housing shortage.
