"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor Alan Wong, who was appointed by Mayor \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/daniel-lurie\">Daniel Lurie\u003c/a> in December, will continue to be the Sunset District’s official representative at San Francisco City Hall. Supervisor Stephen Sherrill will continue to oversee District 2, encompassing Pacific Heights and the Marina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent returns on June 4 showed Wong with approximately 69% of the early vote. The dominant showing at the polls comes after a year of tumultuous turnover in leadership for the westside district. A recall election in 2024 ousted Supervisor Joel Engardio, which was followed by an appointed supervisor who lasted a week and then Wong’s appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We won because of the hard work of our campaign team, our volunteers and because we had the right message and goals for the Sunset: focus on the basics of governance and deliver practical results for constituents,” Wong said in a statement. “My message and goals were simple: for too long, City Hall has been focused on political ideology and grandiose policies while many Sunset residents have felt unheard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Natalie Gee, a legislative aide for Supervisor Shamann Walton, was carrying 31% of the initial vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee raised $402,000 in donations and \u003ca href=\"https://sfethics.org/guidance/campaigns/candidates/public-financing-program/public-financing-program-overview\">public financing\u003c/a> combined, plus around $386,000 from a committee backed by local labor organizations. Wong, who had Lurie’s endorsement, received $394,000, plus big boosts from PACs aligned with Mayor Daniel Lurie, including $207,000 from moderate political group GrowSF and $410,000 from SF Believes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong ran on promises to restore a “compromise” to bring cars back to the Great Highway during the week and keep the road car-free on weekends. The fate of the road, which is currently closed to cars and known as Sunset Dunes park, was a central issue in the district’s recent recall election. While voters citywide agreed to close the road and open Sunset Dunes in a 2024 election, the majority of Sunset residents who live closest to the park voted against it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12024441\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12024441\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/250128-SFImmigration-49-BL-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Supervisor Stephen Sherrill speaks during a press conference with elected and public safety officials and labor leaders in front of City Hall in San Francisco on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025, to reaffirm San Francisco’s commitment to being a Sanctuary City. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Engardio said Tuesday that “voters got to choose and that was a good thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only one candidate in the race, Jeremy Greco, called for keeping Sunset Dunes a park all week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albert Chow, a local business owner and vocal supporter of the recall, and educator David Lee, were also looking to unseat Wong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some local concerns about the park have mellowed, some residents in the Sunset community have also resisted efforts to build more housing in the largely residential neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I appreciate the leadership of Supervisor Alan Wong,” Mayor Daniel Lurie said during a press conference Tuesday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wong supported Lurie’s successful rezoning plan, which allows taller and denser housing in the neighborhood, shortly after his December appointment to the seat — a decision that his opponents in the race highlighted.[aside label=\"Live 2026 Election Results\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/sanfrancisco,San Francisco: Stay informed with the latest results for elected leaders and measures passed' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2026/05/Aside-Results-2026-Local-Elections-San-Francisco-1200x1200@2x.png]“If we did not take action locally with a proposal, then Sacramento would have imposed their own plan and subjected our city to financial penalties,” Wong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has said he wants to add units to existing buildings and residential lots, while improving Muni lines so residents have reliable public transportation options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gee vowed to promote new housing while protecting rent control units and took issue with the mayor’s rezoning plan.

But in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12083617/newsom-touts-dominance-of-california-in-final-budget-proposal\">revised budget released last month\u003c/a>, it proposed cutting 6,800 slots —mostly vouchers for home-based childcare arrangements and some childcare center slots. Newsom said, despite a recent surge in tax revenue from the booming A.I. industry, he proposed further cuts to balance the budget for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials say the cuts are necessary to offset more than $86 million in reductions from the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and Proposition 64, which sets aside a portion of the state’s cannabis tax revenues for early childhood programs. They say the cuts wouldn’t affect families currently receiving subsidies for childcare. Instead, they’re taking back funds that were not spent by community-based agencies responsible for enrolling eligible families and reimbursing providers.[aside postID=news_12083461 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260428-VallejoChildCare-37-BL_qed.jpg']The justification doesn’t make sense to Cristina Alvarado, executive director of Child Care Alliance Los Angeles, which represents 10 agencies that altogether have more than 22,000 kids on waitlists for childcare vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said sometimes agencies that don’t fully spend their funds by the end of the fiscal year can transfer the money to others to enroll as many families as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No L.A. agency has offered any additional funding,” she said, because of the high demand for slots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An analysis of state spending over the last five years shows California dedicates \u003ca href=\"https://www.datawrapper.de/_/rGm2r/?v=5\">only about 2% of its total budget to childcare\u003c/a>. While the additional slots initiated by Newsom have helped tens of thousands of families afford childcare, the California Budget & Policy Center estimates that only 16% of eligible children are enrolled in subsidized childcare programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Marin County, Perez’s son, Dyson, is among nearly 680 children eligible for subsidies who are on a waitlist because there’s no more funding for new slots, according to Aideen Gaidmore, CEO of Marin Child Care Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The promise of additional funding gave Perez hope that she could go back to work and catch up financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are in the water and somebody is trying to take you out, but then they push you into the water again, that’s a game.

But in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12083617/newsom-touts-dominance-of-california-in-final-budget-proposal\">revised budget released last month\u003c/a>, it proposed cutting 6,800 slots —mostly vouchers for home-based childcare arrangements and some childcare center slots. Newsom said, despite a recent surge in tax revenue from the booming A.I. industry, he proposed further cuts to balance the budget for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administration officials say the cuts are necessary to offset more than $86 million in reductions from the federal Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) and Proposition 64, which sets aside a portion of the state’s cannabis tax revenues for early childhood programs. They say the cuts wouldn’t affect families currently receiving subsidies for childcare. Instead, they’re taking back funds that were not spent by community-based agencies responsible for enrolling eligible families and reimbursing providers.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
