Alex Wan
Alex Si-chi Wan () is an American politician. He is the first Asian American member of the Atlanta City Council, elected to the position for District 6 in the November 2009 municipal election. He speaks both English and Mandarin Chinese.
In 2009, Wan ran for the open city council seat in District 6 against several candidates including Bahareh Azizi, Steve Brodie, Tad Christian, Liz Coyle, and Miguel Gallegos. Wan and second-place finisher Liz Coyle entered a run off. Wan was endorsed by fourth-place finisher Steve Brodie, a gay man who campaigned for the seat in 2005 against then-incumbent and also openly-gayAnne Fauver, as well as the Victory Fund, Georgia Equality, Buckhead Coalition and gay educator Charles Stadtlander. Of the six initial contestants in the race for the council seat, Wan was the only recipient of an "Excellent" grade by Committee for a Better Atlanta.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Ousted candidate backs Alex Wan in District 6 )〕

In 2013, the councilman championed legislation supported by neighborhood associations and NPU F〔("Residents OK Cheshire Bridge plan to gently give adult businesses the boot", Max Blau, ''Creative Loafing'', April 16, 2013 )〕 to remove existing adult businesses from Cheshire Bridge Road by 2018, but the Atlanta City Council voted it down. It was also opposed by a mix of gays, strippers and Atlanta’s real estate interests – including Scott Selig.〔("Cheshire Bridge Road to remain an “adult” district, if Atlanta City Council upholds ruling by its zoning board", May 9th, 2013, ''Saporta Report'' )〕 Some in the gay community wondered if Cheshire Bridge were "sanitized", "where would people go for sexual expression"?〔(TAYLOR TRIMBLE, "Opinion: Cheshire Bridge is Falling Down", David Atlanta, March 2013 )〕 Matthew Cardinale, the editor and publisher of Atlanta Progressive News, and resident of the Road, decried "the ongoing project of gentrification, homogenization, sterilization and capitalization of a historic neighborhood," Atlanta's "red-light district ".〔("What to do with Cheshire Bridge Road?", Jordan Friedman, Feb 15, 2013, ''Creative Loafing'' )〕
