Help Michael Nguyen fight for a San Francisco where everyone can afford to stay.

My parents fled authoritarianism in Vietnam and met in a refugee camp. I was born in Chicago, and we moved constantly—never had a stable home. When I came to San Francisco for law school, I finally found it.

I lived in a tiny Noe Valley studio and saw Sutro Tower every morning. That tower became my landmark, my constant. I sang "Home" from The Wiz in gay men's choruses for years, searching for a place where I could belong.

San Francisco became my home. Now it's slipping away from too many families.

Parents are forced out because they can't afford rent AND childcare. Artists are priced out by the tech wealth I help generate as an AI patent attorney. Our legendary LGBTQ+ venues like Oasis are closing. Small immigrant-owned businesses are struggling.

Meanwhile, unprecedented AI wealth is being created blocks away.

I'm running for District 8 Supervisor to change that.

I'll fight for:

• Universal childcare funded by tech wealth
• Protecting and expanding rent control to stop displacement
• Saving our cultural venues and small businesses
• Harnessing AI-generated wealth for working families

I've spent 20 years organizing in LGBTQ+ and AAPI communities. I founded QTAPI Week, turned around GAPA when it was about to shut down, and I'm a staunch advocate for rent control—without it, I wouldn't have been able to build my life in San Francisco.

As your Supervisor, I will leverage my legal expertise to draft effective legislation and my organizing experience to build the coalitions necessary for meaningful change.

This campaign is about more than one seat on the Board of Supervisors. It's about who gets to call San Francisco home.

Will you volunteer to help build a San Francisco that's home for everyone?
