The Standard Model (SM) is amended by one generation of quarks and leptons which are vectorlike (VL) under the SM gauge group but chiral with respect to a new U(1)_3\ensuremath-4 gauge symmetry. We show that this model can simultaneously explain the deviation of the muon g\ensuremath-2 as well as the observed anomalies in b\ensuremath→s\ensuremathμ+\ensuremathμ^\ensuremath- transitions without conflicting with the data on Higgs decays, lepton flavor violation, or Bs\ensuremath-Bs mixing. The model is string theory motivated and Grand Unified Theory compatible, i.e. UV complete, and fits the data predicting VL quarks, leptons, and a massive Z^\ensuremath' at the TeV scale, as well as \ensuremathτ\ensuremath→3\ensuremathμ and \ensuremathτ\ensuremath→\ensuremathμ\ensuremathγ within reach of future experiments. The Higgs couplings to SM generations are automatically aligned in flavor space.
