  • David Chiu is the President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He represents District 3, encompassing the northeastern corner of the city, including Chinatown, the Financial District, and Fisherman's Wharf. The eldest child of Chinese American immigrant parents, Chiu grew up in Boston and attended a Roman Catholic high school in a working class neighborhood. Chiu graduated from Harvard University, where he received a degree in government from Harvard College, a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School, and a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Before being elected to the Board of Supervisors, David was a founder and Chief Operating Officer of Grassroots Enterprise, an online communications technology company. Prior to Grassroots, he worked as a criminal prosecutor at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office and as a civil rights attorney at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. At the age of 25, Chiu became Democratic Counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee’s Constitution Subcommittee and aide to Senator Paul Simon to the Senate Budget Committee. As Democratic Counsel, he dealt with a wide range of constitutional, criminal and civil rights issues included drafting progressive legislation. As a budget aide, Chiu analyzed the economic and fiscal impact of numerous proposals, and was the lead staffer in 1995 for the first Democratic balanced budget proposal in several decades. In his bid for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Chiu was backed by the incumbent, Supervisor Aaron Peskin, as well as District Attorney Kamala Harris, Assemblyman Mark Leno, State Senator Leland Yee, and Supervisor (now Assemblyman) Tom Ammiano. On January 8, 2009, Chiu was elected by the supervisors as President of the Board of Supervisors, the first Chinese-American person to serve in this capacity.
