Scott
Wiener

Scott Wiener is a longtime community leader, advocate, and public servant who has championed policies to improve affordability and make communities safer, healthier, and more resilient.

Wiener has dedicated most of his career to public service, representing his community as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, deputy city attorney, and a California state senator. On the Board of Supervisors, Wiener played a key role expanding the budget and securing billions of dollars in funding to support sustainable public transit in San Francisco and the Bay Area. In the state Senate, he helped pass legislation to require cities to implement instant app-based permitting for rooftop solar projects and to streamline permitting for clean transportation projects including light rail, rapid bus service, and bike and pedestrian safety projects.

As a representative, Wiener will fight for safe, healthy communities and hold corporate polluters accountable. During his decade in the California state Senate, Wiener earned a 98% on California Environmental Voters’ Environmental Scorecard.

Wiener joins the U.S. House to fill the open seat held by retiring Representative Nancy Pelosi, who earned a 94% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard.

“Californians know the climate crisis isn’t a distant threat. Devastating wildfires, brutal heat waves, and soaring energy bills and insurance premiums are hitting families right now. Tackling this crisis at the scale science demands requires leaders who pull every lever available and never back down from a fight.” – Scott Wiener for Congress
