Katy Tang (Chinese: 湯凱蒂; pinyin: Tāng Kǎidì) is an American politician currently serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing District 4.[1]

Prior to her appointment to the Board of Supervisors, she served as a legislative aide to her predecessor Carmen Chu, who was appointed to become San Francisco Assessor-Recorder.

On November 18, 2014, the Board of Supervisors elected Tang to be the Interim President of the Board of Supervisors until the Board selects a President after the appointment of a new Supervisor for District 3 to replace outgoing Assembly member-elect David Chiu.[2] She lost this title to London Breed after an election on January 8, 2015.[3]

Early life and education

Tang attended Lowell High School. She graduated from University of California, Davis with a double B.A. in 3 years.

Electoral history

Tang was appointed to the Board of Supervisors in February 2013 and then elected in two subsequent elections in November 2013 and November 2014.[4]

Board of Supervisors

In 2013, Tang introduced legislation that would punish brothel owners, rather than individual masseuses, for allowing sex in massage parlors, which was passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors.[5]
