About Gary McCoy
I know what it means to fight. I’ve fought alongside Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, running the campaign to Save our Healthcare from the Trump administration’s attacks on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. I’ve fought for San Francisco’s LGBTQ community as the leader of the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club and Harvey Milk Democratic Club. I’ve stood on the picket lines with labor, fighting for workers. I’ve fought for our parks, for public transit funding and safer streets, and to build more housing for everyone who needs it.
I’m running for District 8 Supervisor because our district doesn’t need someone who sits on the sidelines. We need a leader who understands how to cut through bureaucracy, to step up for the community, and to get things done. Someone who sees the role of Supervisor not as a trophy, but as a privilege to serve our neighborhoods, our district, and our city—who organizes, legislates, and delivers.

Gary McCoy on Housing and Abundance
“And I went from treatment to transitional housing, to permanent supportive housing and subsidized rent, to a market-rate two bedroom apartment.”
“I unequivocally support rent control and preventing the demolition of rent-controlled housing.”
