Katy Tang (Chinese: 湯凱蒂; pinyin: Tāng Kǎidì) is an American elected official in San Francisco, California. She serves as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors representing Supervisorial District 4.
District 4 includes the neighborhoods of Central Sunset, Outer Sunset, Parkside, Outer Parkside, and Pine Lake Park.
Tang was born in New York to immigrant parents from Taiwan. She grew up in the Sunset District, attended Lowell High School, and graduated from University of California, Davis with a double B.A. in 3 years. She is also a graduate of the University of San Francisco School of Law.
Tang was appointed to the Board of Supervisors in February 2013 and then elected in two subsequent elections in November 2013 and November 2014.
Prior to serving as Supervisor, Tang worked as former District 4 Supervisor Carmen Chu’s Legislative Aide for over five years, drafting legislation to create neighborhood commercial districts for District 4 business corridors, increasing housing protections for victims of domestic violence, streamlining complex City contracting processes, facilitating prompt payment to City contractors, and instituting increased penalties for crimes committed in and around public transit. She also served in Mayor Gavin Newsom’s administration in the Office of Public Policy & Finance, where she worked on community outreach for development of the City’s first Community Justice Center, in addition to her work assisting with development of the City’s budget.
On the Board of Supervisors, Tang has advocated for supporting housing opportunities for middle-income families. In partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Housing & Community Development, Tang helped launch the “Home Match” program, which pairs homeowners with low-income home seekers as a way to address San Francisco’s housing shortage with existing housing stock.
