Early life
Wong was born and raised in the Sunset District of San Francisco to immigrants from Hong Kong.[3] Wong's father is a hotel cook, and his mother is a housewife.[4] Wong graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School in 2005.[4] In high school, he was a student delegate on the San Francisco Board of Education. He was one of the plaintiffs who sued the board for raising Superintendent Arlene Ackerman's salary.[4][5]
Wong received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and later his master's degree at the University of San Francisco (USF).[6]
Career
Wong is a first lieutenant with the California National Guard.[7][8]
Wong was elected to the City College of San Francisco (CCSF) Board of Trustees in the November 3, 2020[9] election.[10] During his time on the board, he has served as its president and advocated for the preservation of Cantonese instruction at the college.[10][11]
Wong was a legislative aide under San Francisco Supervisor Gordon Mar and a former union organizer.[7] He worked as policy director for the Children's Council of San Francisco.[10]
San Francisco Board of Supervisors
On November 30, 2025, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie selected Wong to assume the office of District 4 Supervisor after Beya Alcaraz's resignation earlier that month.[7][2] Wong was sworn in by Lurie the following day.[12][13] Lurie subsequently appointed Ruth Ferguson to fill Wong's vacancy on the CCSF Board of Trustees.[14]
In January 2026, Wong attempted to place a ballot measure on the June 2026 election to reopen the Great Highway to vehicles during weekdays.[15] The measure failed to garner the necessary supervisor votes to do so.[16]
