A Fearless Voice for America’s Leading City
DAN WHEELER FOR SAN FRANCISCO
BRINGING PRINCIPLED LEADERSHIP TO SAN FRANCISCO
Twenty-five years ago, I left Ohio and brought Midwest common sense and work ethic to San Francisco. The city captured my heart immediately—the climate, the geography, the stunning beauty of this place. The dynamic business environment electrified me. In San Francisco, the gold rush never ends. This city attracts the best and brightest in the world and amazing things are happening in the private sector.
For 25 years, I have represented clients as a lawyer—with passion, creativity, tenacity and integrity. I’ve helped a wide range of financial services companies create new products and even new industries. I’ve succeeded by helping my clients succeed.
This great city needs a great advocate–someone who can champion this extraordinary city with passion, intelligence and integrity. Someone who makes San Francisco proud. Our current Mayor, Daniel Lurie, is almost single-handedly bringing reform and hope to this city. But he needs help and that’s where I come in. I will advocate for the big issues that the people in this city care about:
Empowering our San Francisco Police to be Heroes – For too long, our men and women and blue have been maligned, defunded and prevented from being the heroes they want to be. We’re going to restore public safety and make our police heroes again.
- Defending Courageous Whistleblowers – Our city’s budget is over $16 billion and is riddled with waste, greedy special interests, and outright fraud. I stand with the whistleblowers and those challenging the corrupt status quo.
- Reforming our Public Schools – Our public school parents and children need an advocate who is not beholden to powerful special interests. Let’s end the lottery system and make our schools true community schools that are the envy of the entire country.
- First Amendment Freedoms – Our state politicians repeatedly trample our sacred First Amendment rights to speak and worship freely. We’re going to restore San Francisco’s role as a beacon of free speech and freedom of conscience.
- Justice for Taxi Medallion Purchasers – Gavin Newsom, when Mayor in San Francisco, raised over $60 million for the Municipal Transportation Agency by selling medallions right before Lyft and Uber were allowed to operate. The city’s action destroyed the value of the medallions leaving taxi drivers with a nothing but crushing debt. This is an injustice that has lingered for over 10 years.
SAN FRANCISCO LEADS!

THE DISTRICT
California’s 11th Congressional District is the City and County of San Francisco. The district is home to one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the headquarters of leading fintechs, AI companies and venture capitalists. It faces longstanding challenges from homelessness, drug addiction and overdoses, street crime and housing affordability. Under Dan’s leadership, the city can be the world’s headquarters for AI, fintech, banking and venture capital. Now is the time for a fresh, pragmatic and intelligent approach that respects San Francisco’s culture and values.
