Matt Gonzalez
Matt Gonzalez (born
1965) is the president of the
San Francisco, California board of supervisors, and a member of the
Green Party. He lost the December
2003 San Francisco mayoral election to the
Democratic Party candidate
Gavin Newsom. The race drew significant media attention because if Gonzalez had won, he would have been the only mayor of a major U.S. city who is a member of the Green Party. There was also considerable commentary that this was one of the few cases in an
American election in which the Democratic candidate was the more conservative candidate.
