He received a BA
degree from Columbia College, Columbia University, 1987, and a JD from
Stanford Law School in 1990. He worked as a deputy public defender in
San Francisco from 1991-2000. In 2000 he was elected to the 11-member
San Francisco Board of Supervisors, which supervises a city with a
budget of $6 billion.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.votenader.org/about/matt-gonzalez/"><P>
He is best known for having led the effort to implement Instant
Run-off Voting, also known as Rank Choice Voting, in San Francisco,
where it has been successfully implemented to obtain a majority
outcome without the need for costly run-off elections. (It is often
promoted as a solution to the “spoiler” claim.)

Additionally, Gonzalez fought to create a minimum wage in San
Francisco which includes a mechanism for yearly cost of living
adjustments. (Considered the highest in the country, currently the
wage is $9.36 per hour)
