On November 7, 2024, San Francisco Mayor London Breed conceded to Levi Strauss heir Lurie in the mayoral race. Voter discontent over crime and homelessness overshadowed her improvements in city cleanliness. 

Lurie, a political outsider, bankrolled his campaign with nearly $9 million of his own money, presenting himself as free from "far right" or "progressive" special interests. His focus on accountability and public service resonated with voters seeking change. 

Breed, in office since 2018, faced mounting criticism for her crisis management, ultimately leading to her defeat. Lurie now aims to unite the city to tackle its pressing challenges.
