San Francisco Mayoral Race Heats Up as Breed Faces Strong Challenges

Incumbent Mayor London Breed confronts criticism and fierce competition from Daniel Lurie, Mark Farrell, and Aaron Peskin in a tight election.

London Breed's tenure as San Francisco's mayor is under scrutiny due to ongoing issues with homelessness, crime, and public safety.
Daniel Lurie, a nonprofit founder with significant financial backing, has emerged as a leading contender in the race, challenging Breed's record.
The election uses ranked-choice voting, making it difficult to predict the outcome, with Breed and Lurie currently neck and neck in polls.
Breed emphasizes her personal experiences and past leadership during the pandemic, arguing she is best equipped to address the city's challenges.
Critics argue Breed's administration has been marred by ethical controversies and a failure to effectively manage San Francisco's persistent problems.
