CA: Lurie wins San Francisco mayoral race

Source: SFGate

“Daniel Lurie, a local nonprofit founder and an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune, will become San Francisco’s 46th mayor. He unseated incumbent Mayor London Breed, a fellow moderate Democrat, during Tuesday’s general election in the 14th round of ranked-choice voting. He won by a wide margin, 56.2% to 43.8%, according to unofficial election results. As of Thursday afternoon, he had earned 119,440 votes to Breed’s 93,079. Breed, a former supervisor and the first Black woman to serve as San Francisco’s mayor, conceded defeat Thursday afternoon following the release of more results from Tuesday’s election. ‘Being Mayor of San Francisco has been the greatest honor of my lifetime,’ she wrote in a post on X. ‘I’m beyond grateful to our residents for the opportunity to serve the City that raised me. When I first took office in the middle of the night, back in 2017 when Mayor Ed Lee passed, I didn’t know what lay ahead.'” (11/08/24)
