Wiener leads Chan 47%-41%, according to an independent Oct. 18-19 survey of 454 likely voters from the Democracy and Fair Elections Lab at the University of Southern California. Since that’s within the margin of error, and other polls also show a lead that’s too close for Team Wiener’s comfort, Wiener campaign spokesperson Joe Arellano said the senator isn’t “taking anything for granted.”
In today’s race, Wong runs against Jeremy Greco, a former worker-owner at Other Avenues Food Co-op and Albert Chow, who owns Great Wall Hardware. In June, Wong won 46% against four other candidates, and 64% in the final round of ranked-choice voting against Natalie Gee, an aide to District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton.
The November election asks San Franciscans to think about more than individual candidates or propositions. It asks what kind of City we want to live in, how we balance competing needs and whether neighborhoods have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect daily life.

San Francisco’s urban conversation tends to focus on downtown nightlife, restaurants, entertainment and major cultural institutions. But each October, the west side reveals another kind of nighttime city: families walking, neighbors gathering, illuminated homes and block parties. The Sunset, Parkside and Richmond neighborhoods come alive, with October traditions like BalBOOa Fright Fest, Movies in McCoppin, ScareGrove and The Great Hauntway. Notably, nearly every event is family-friendly.
Fall and winter festivities capture the neighborhood’s joyful community spirit, starting with Halloween and extending through December. On Sunday, Oct. 25, the Inner Sunset Farmers’ Market will host Halloween activities, including a parade of costumes, trick-or-treating at participating merchants, games and a contest to guess the weight of the giant pumpkin.
