District 4 Candidate Series: David Lee on Leadership in the Sunset

Send us Fan MailThis episode continues The Sunset Connection’s District 4 candidate interview series.I’m speaking with every candidate running for Supervisor and asking the same questions, in the same order, to give Sunset residents a clear look at how each candidate thinks and approaches decision-making - before campaigns get condensed into slogans.In this episode, I’m joined by David Lee, a Sunset homeowner, lifelong Westside San Franciscan, and educator. David previously served as a San Francisco Recreation and Park Commissioner, where he worked on neighborhood projects including Sava Pool, Sunset Rec Center, and McCoppin Square. He has also spent decades registering Asian American voters across the Bay Area through his work with the Chinese American Voter Education Committee.We discuss what motivated him to run, how his experiences shape his approach, how he prioritizes competing community voices, and what success would look like in his first year as supervisor.About this series:This is a non-endorsement candidate interview series. All participating candidates were asked the same questions in the same format to give District 4 residents direct access to how candidates think, not to persuade or advocate for any outcome. Any personal political views or activities of the host are separate from the podcast and do not affect participation or coverage. Stay Connected📌 Listen on Buzzsprout 📷 Follow on Instagram 📘 Like us on Facebook ▶️ Watch on YouTube ✉️ Email: [email protected], share, and leave a review — it helps more neighbors find the show!The Sunset Connection — exploring the stories and histories that connect us.
