Will San Franciscans reject incumbents in the mayor’s office and on the Board of Supervisors? Or will they believe <a href="https://sfstandard.com/2024/10/02/london-breed-interview-abc7-standard-kara-swisher/">Mayor London Breed’s message</a> that the city is on the rise?&nbsp;

Mayor

The mayor often tells voters about her self-made rise from impoverished Western Addition projects to lead from City Hall’s glittering dome. In remarks to supporters on Tuesday night, Breed touted her accomplishments in office and railed against Lurie&#8217;s personal spending in the mayor&#8217;s race. Lurie, a nonprofit founder and heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, contributed more than $8 million to his own campaign.

&#8220;It&#8217;s been one of the most sad and horrible things that someone could take their personal wealth and buy this office. It&#8217;s disgusting,&#8221; Breed said.

District 5 was the most expensive Board of Supervisors race, with more than $1.5 million in total fundraising, some of it from the tech-backed moderate group GrowSF, which opposes Preston. Preston faced challengers from entrepreneur Bilal Mahmood, business strategist Scotty Jacobs, and education activist Autumn Looijen.

In District 7, which encompasses West Portal and a swath of west side neighborhoods, Supervisor Myrna Melgar&#8217;s main opponent was Matt Boschetto, a businessman who&#8217;s run on a pro-public safety platform. He&#8217;s against Prop. K, the polarizing ballot measure to permanently close the Upper Great Highway to cars, and created a ballot measure committee opposing it.

London Breed trailing Daniel Lurie in early election returns

Mayor London Breed scored her most significant win of the campaign season Wednesday night, earning the official nod of the local Democratic Party, an endorsement that offers the sitting city leader major momentum in the November race.

Members of the city’s Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) crowned Breed with the endorsement in a late-night Wednesday meeting. The committee did not reach the required vote threshold to choose a candidate for second place, meaning Breed received the sole endorsement from the party.

The local party’s support offers a critical advantage to the sitting mayor. She will be part of a massive messaging campaign by the party that will reach hundreds of thousands of the city’s registered Democrats.

“As someone who has registered voters, traveled to battleground states, and done the hard work to build our party up locally over the years, I know the value of this endorsement and what it means,” she wrote. “With our democratic values under attack all over the country and with so much at stake in this election, I’m proud to stand with and be supported by our local Democratic Party.”

London Breed nabs SF’s most prized political endorsement
