Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie thanks supporters, pledges accountability in local government

SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR-ELECT Daniel Lurie celebrated his victory on Friday in a speech and news conference in Chinatown, a day after incumbent London Breed conceded.

Lurie thanked his family and supporters and promised to build a “world class administration.” “We have to take care of our teachers, our police, our firefighters and our nurses,” he said to a crowd of between 100-200 people under a clear, sunny sky at St. Mary’s Square. “We have to support neighborhood small businesses, attract business back downtown and foster a home for arts and culture.”
