Four months before Sunset voters elect their next city supervisor, Natalie Gee, the progressive candidate, has raised more than all her opponents combined, campaign finance filings released Monday show. 

Gee raised $67,250 in 2025, the period covered by the latest filings. She spent funds on consulting, website design and printing. Her campaign had about $55,000 in cash as of Dec. 31. 

Meanwhile, incumbent District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong raised $17,327 in the same period, coming third among the five candidates. Wong was appointed to the District 4 seat only on Nov. 30, and Gee declared her candidacy a month before, on Oct. 28.

Wong’s totals did include one noteworthy donation: $500, the contribution limit, from Mayor Daniel Lurie, who appointed Wong to the seat. 

David Lee, another candidate and the executive director of the Chinese American Voters Education Committee, raised the second most money — he received $19,950 in donations, and had $18,584 in the bank. 

The filings, though a month old, provide a glimpse of the candidates’ fundraising efforts and who is standing behind them. 

Gee has also received contributions from current supervisors, including Myrna Melgar, Connie Chan and her boss Shamann Walton — they gave $250, $150 and $100 respectively. Former District 4 Supervisor Gordon Mar also gave $500 to Gee, even though Wong worked as Mar’s legislative aide for four years. 

Gee’s donations have qualified her for public financing, which gave Gee an initial grant of $60,000 and allows her to receive matching funds from the city at a six-to-one ratio. If she gets a $100 donation, for example, the city will match $600. This applies to donations up to $150 from a registered San Francisco voter. 

Lurie isn’t the only official in the mayor’s office donating to Wong’s campaign: Han Zou, the mayor’s director of public affairs, gave $500; Staci Slaughter, the mayor’s chief of staff, and Adam Thongsavat, his liaison to the Board of Supervisors, gave $250 each.  

Wong got $500 from District 5 Supervisor Bilal Mahmood and another $500 from former mayoral candidate Mark Leno. 

Wong has also received support from the law-and-order crowd: Sheriff Paul Miyamoto donated $250, and Frank Noto, the founder of the nonprofit Stop Crime SF, gave $500. 

Gee will likely be Wong’s biggest challenger. While both have experience working with labor, Gee is expected to get more support, both in fundraising and volunteering, from the unions. 

Gee earned the sole endorsement from the public sector worker union IFPTE Local 21, where she is an active member and a former organizer. Other unions, including SEIU Local 1021, IUEC Local 8, and AFT 2121, showed up in support of Gee at her campaign kickoff this past weekend. 

AFT 2121, the union for city college faculty, solely endorsed Wong for his reelection bid for City College Board of Trustees. But their relationship worsened after Wong went against the union over the city college’s next chancellor. 

Other candidates in the race have raised a relatively modest amount, compared to Gee. 

Albert Chow, an organizer for the Joel Engardio recall and owner of Great Wall Hardware, has raised $6,151. Jeremy Greco, longtime Sunset resident and former worker-owner of grocery co-op Other Avenues, did not report any contributions. 

Both the District 4 and District 2 supervisor votes will be held during the primary election on June 2 because both incumbents were appointed. 

In June, voters from those districts will elect a supervisor for the rest of the term ending in January next year. Then, in November, they will vote again to elect a supervisor who will represent the district for the four years after that.Â
