Tim Tung and Autumn Brown Garibay win final two San Francisco school board seats

Tim Tung and Autumn Brown Garibay have won election to San Francisco’s school board, according to Mission Local. Both candidates declared victory after maintaining early leads in the vote count.

They will join school board president Phil Kim, who was reelected in a landslide earlier in the week. The trio was endorsed by Mayor Daniel Lurie, the advocacy group GrowSF, and other moderates in the city.

GrowSF and the candidates collectively raised and spent $407,000 on the campaign, including $242,000 from GrowSF. This amount was about 1.4 times the funds raised by the rival teachers union slate, which raised $283,000, including $210,000 from the union and a labor PAC.

Tim Tung is a financial analyst and brother of the San Francisco Democratic Party chair Nancy Tung. Autumn Brown Garibay is a parent of three public school students, has served on PTAs, and works as a senior customer success manager at Sprout Social, Inc.

The teachers union slate finished in fourth, fifth, and sixth place. The union had recently won benefits and raises through a February strike, including fully funded healthcare by 2027 and salary increases between 5% and 8.5%.
