Connie Chan (Chinese: 陳詩敏) is an American politician serving as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for District 1 since January 8, 2021,[1] after defeating Marjan Philhour, who ran for the seat in 2016, in a narrow race.

[3][4] District 1 includes the Richmond, Lone Mountain, Sea Cliff, and Presidio Terrace neighborhoods, and parts of Golden Gate Park.

[6] In the November 2020 general election, Chan won by 134 votes against challenger Marjan Philhour,[7] a senior adviser to Mayor London Breed.

[10] In February 2021, Chan supported a plan to provide free Summer Activities for San Francisco's elementary school students.

[19] As Budget Committee chair, Chan supported extension of the COVID-19 pandemic-era CalFresh emergency benefits and called for eventually making the Muni system fare-free.

[19] Chan and other supervisors, along with the mayor, ultimately negotiated a $14.6 billion budget, which ended a $780 million deficit that had emerged in the two years of the pandemic,[20] and largely preserved Breed's major proposals on public safety and economic policy.

[20] The budget adopted a limited version of Breed's proposal to offer tax incentives to firms opening new offices in downtown San Francisco.

[8] In 2021, Chan voted to block the development of 495-unit apartment complex (one-quarter of which were designated as affordable housing) on a Nordstrom's valet parking lot next to a BART station.

[22] In a 2022 vote in the Board of Supervisors' Rules Committee, Chan and Peskin voted down a proposal (supported by Supervisor Ahsha Safaí and Mayor London Breed) to place a referendum on the city ballot to streamline the permitting process for certain housing developments; San Francisco takes substantially longer to approve housing permits than other California municipalities.
