Albert Chow and Jeremy Greco Join Natalie Gee, David Lee and Alan Wong in Vying for D-4 Supe

By John Ferrannini

Candidates rounding out the race for District 4 supervisor, small business owner Albert Chow and local school coordinator Jeremy Greco are both longtime Sunset neighborhood residents.

Albert Chow

Chow, 58, proprietor of Great Wall Hardware at 1821 Taraval St., has been widely expected to run. He was highly involved in both the fight to reopen the Upper Great Highway to vehicular traffic and the effort to oust elected District 4 supervisor Joel Engardio, whose recall last fall created this vacancy. Chow was even reportedly on a shortlist for San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie to appoint to the position – which was filled first by Isabella “Beya” Alcaraz and then by Alan Wong.

Chow announced his candidacy the second week of December 2025, shortly after Wong’s appointment. He rattled off a list of achievements.

“I’ve been working in the community for 18 years with People of Parkside Sunset,” Chow said. “I helped during COVID to take care of merchants, helping with (then) Supervisor Gordon Mar to get some equipment to people, get them to learn what to do and not to do. I helped start the farmer’s market and had a hand in getting things rolling for the Irving Street Night Market.”

Chow said among his top priorities are seeing a fully staffed San Francisco Police Department and increasing education quality.

“I want to see math,” he said. “I want to see algebra right when you get into junior high. I would like to see schools prosper.”

Chow was critical of Wong voting for Lurie’s family zoning legislation just one day after the mayor swore him into the seat.

“He’s a nice guy,” Chow said of Wong, “but I’ve got to knock him on that. He got sworn in, and the following day took a vote on one of the most generational changing policies and didn’t even poll the neighborhood before he made his opinion. I think that speaks to inexperience and not being in touch.”

That said, Chow is not necessarily opposed to changing height limits.

“I don’t want a state’s builders remedy,” he said. “That’s the worst. I don’t want to lose San Francisco’s unique architecture and neighborhoods. I want to make sure we address that in a considered, thoughtful way.”

On the issue of the Upper Great Highway, Chow said he “would have loved to see a ballot measure to reopen the Great Highway.”

There is currently a citizen-led effort, based on signature gathering, after an attempt spearheaded by District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan fell through.

Jeremy Greco

Greco, 54, on the other hand, does not want the highway reopened to cars and supports the Sunset Dunes park remaining in place. A 26-year resident of the Outer Sunset and former worker-owner of Other Avenues Food Cooperative, Greco said he was among those initially skeptical of the closure but has grown to appreciate the park.

He said he began to appreciate Sunset Dunes after meaningfully engaging with one of the art instillations – “Ocean Calling” – a phone booth feature where people can place a metaphorical phone call to send messages to people they have lost.

“Last year around this time, a good family friend of mine passed,” Greco said. “They lost a battle with cancer.”

The experience of sharing a message at the phone booth while looking at the Pacific Ocean was cathartic for Greco.

“What I have experienced is that many people against Sunset Dunes are now for it, because they have experienced something – whether a place to talk to their neighbors, or a place to exercise,” he said. “The next big step is for us to get together.”

Greco also wants “continued police foot patrols, safer commercial corridors and coordinated responses to nuisance and property crime,” according to a news release.

A campus coordinator for a local independent school, Greco aims to change the family zoning law to “protect people in two-unit buildings.” Under the law as signed by Lurie, rent controlled buildings with three or more units are exempt from the new upzoning rules.

“I’m not a City Hall insider,” Greco said. “I’m a renter, a caregiver, a school worker and a parent. District 4 deserves a supervisor who understands these realities and will stay focused on results, not politics.”

The D-4 supervisorial race is on June 2. Ballots will be sent out in early May.
