After a hard-fought race, London Breed has conceded the San Francisco mayor race to Daniel Lurie. Breed, who has served as the mayor of San Francisco since 2018, announced her decision to concede in a statement released on Wednesday.
In her statement, Breed thanked her supporters for their dedication and hard work throughout the campaign. She also congratulated Lurie on his victory and expressed her hope that he will lead San Francisco with integrity and compassion.
Breed’s concession comes after a close race that saw both candidates vying for the support of San Francisco voters. Lurie, a philanthropist and founder of the nonprofit organization Tipping Point Community, ran on a platform of addressing the city’s homelessness crisis and improving public safety.
Breed, the first African American woman to serve as mayor of San Francisco, has been praised for her leadership during her time in office. She has focused on issues such as affordable housing, public transportation, and economic development.
Despite her loss, Breed remains committed to serving the people of San Francisco and working to make the city a better place for all residents. She has pledged to continue advocating for the issues that are important to her and to support Lurie as he takes on the role of mayor.
As San Francisco prepares for a new chapter under the leadership of Daniel Lurie, the city can look forward to continued progress and positive change. Both candidates ran strong campaigns and offered valuable perspectives on the future of San Francisco, and the city will undoubtedly benefit from their dedication to public service.
