SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Daniel Lurie is leading incumbent SF Mayor London Breed in the San Francisco mayor’s race. Breed is trying to convince voters she deserves a second term in office. Initially, she faced four main challengers, all of whom are Democrats:
- Daniel Lurie is a nonprofit founder dedicated to anti-poverty campaigns. He is also most notably the heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, to which many of his funds – approximately $6 million – were used for his own first mayoral campaign.
- Aaron Peskin is the president of the Board of Supervisors and often advertises himself as the most liberal of the four candidates.
- Asha Safaí is a city supervisor and a former labor organizer.
- Mark Farrell is a former interim mayor of San Francisco and a current venture capitalist.
As of 10:45 p.m. Tuesday, Farrell has dropped out of the mayoral race, a campaign spokesperson confirmed to KRON4. The news comes about two hours after the polls closed.
In the latest poll results Lurie had garnered 28% of the vote to Breed’s 25%. There are still around 157,000 ballots to process and count, according to the San Francisco Department of Elections.
San Francisco uses a ranked-choice voting system in electing its mayor.
