🍀 Happy Early St. Patrick's Day! 🍀

In this third episode of The Sunset Connection, we sit down with Katy Tang, former San Francisco District 4 Supervisor and current Executive Director of the Office of Small Business. As a lifelong Sunset resident, Katy reflects on her journey in public service, the challenges and triumphs of her time in office, and her ongoing work advocating for small businesses across San Francisco.

Come along as we dive into:

• How growing up in the Sunset shaped her leadership style
• The Discover Your District initiative and why community connections matter
• The evolving small business landscape and how government can better support local entrepreneurs
• Her work leading San Francisco’s Office of Small Business and her mission to simplify processes for business owners
• What the future holds for the Sunset District’s economic growth and local businesses

Plus, we wrap things up with some fun St. Patrick’s Day trivia. For example, did you know how SF brewers smuggled malt syrup during Prohibition?
