SF: Alan Wong the candidate didn't win the election. Alan Wong, Mayor Lurie's ally, did.
When Mayor Daniel Lurie went door-knocking with Supervisor Alan Wong two weeks before the election, he told Wong and a dozen of volunteers, “I like to just win by a lot, so no one thinks about running against you this November.”
That big win materialized on Tuesday night: Wong easily beat his opponents, winning a near-majority in a five-way race off the bat and, after ranked-choice, dominating the No. 2 Natalie Gee 70-to-30.
But that happened with little emphasis on Wong the candidate, his personal bona fides or his legislative track record — he has only been in office six months, after all, since Lurie appointed him on Dec. 1.
Instead, what carried the day was a simple message: Alan Wong will be one more reliable vote for Mayor Lurie’s agenda.
