Would you support a tax on billionaires to fund health care in your area?
San Franciscans who voted this November sent Scott Wiener to Congress, giving him 55% of the city's vote over Connie Chan. Voters also approved a tax on billionaires to fund health care.
Why it matters
The House seat and the health care tax are both set by the same ballot, so the results shape who speaks for the city in Washington and how a new revenue source for care is funded. The extraction does not describe how either outcome will be implemented, so what comes next remains open.
Wiener took 55% of the city's House vote and the billionaire health care tax drew 55% approval, while 80% of voters opposed Prop. 39's new voter ID rules. Results were tallied by precinct and census data was apportioned by area, so neighborhood-level figures are estimates.
The players
Scott Wiener
Wiener won San Francisco's House race and will represent the city in Congress.
Connie Chan
Chan lost the House race to Wiener and was strongest in Chinatown and the Outer Sunset.
San Francisco Department of Elections
The department tallied the votes by precinct and provided the Cast Vote Record used for these results.
The details
Wiener's strongest precincts were in the Castro and Pacific Heights, while Chan's were in Chinatown and the Outer Sunset and she underperformed in Bernal Heights. Mostly white precincts chose Wiener and mostly Asian precincts chose Chan, with Wiener doing better in higher-income areas. Prop. 40 passed in the Presidio and Noe Valley and failed in the Marina and Seacliff.
Timeline
2024: Bernal Heights voters chose Jackie Fielder as supervisor with 60%.
November 7, 2026: San Francisco election results were published for the House race, propositions, and charter measures.
Across the Bay
Bernal Heights backed Jackie Fielder with 60% in the 2024 supervisor race, and this year Connie Chan underperformed in the same neighborhood. That pattern suggests the progressive base there did not transfer fully to the House candidate.
If you live in the Castro or Pacific Heights, the House result reflects where your neighborhood voted. The billionaire health care tax and Prop. 40 results will be applied by the city, so watch local news for how they are implemented.
The takeaway
The November results show San Francisco split sharply by neighborhood and income, with the House race and the billionaire tax drawing different coalitions. Watch for certification and any implementation notices from the Department of Elections.
