Lurie beat out 14 other candidates, including Breed and former interim Mayor Mark Farrell, as well as supervisors Aaron Peskin and Ahsha Safai.
San Francisco Mayor-Elect Daniel Lurie made his first public remarks Friday after incumbent Mayor London Breed conceded to her opponent by phone on Thursday. The incoming mayor spoke from St. Mary's Square in San Francisco .Lurie said he wants the city to be a "model of progress."
Lurie acknowledged he'll be leading a city that has often been in the crosshairs of the incoming U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Lurie said he would stand with the city's immigrant families who might feel under siege."I will have everybody's back here in San Francisco. Those communities will have an ally in me," Lurie said.The mayor-elect also said that solving the city's crime and drug problems would be a top priority."We're going to get tough.
Supporters say Lurie won their votes because he made a point of showing up and reaching out to people in the Asian American community and other groups across the city. "I am so excited. We are going to have our beautiful city. We're going to have clean streets, take care of the sick and the poor, not have all of this infighting that has been going on," Angela Alioto, the former President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors said.
