Lurie Leads Breed 28.8% to 24.9% in Tight San Francisco Levi’s heir, Daniel Lurie, currently holds a slight lead over Mayor London Breed in San Francisco’s closely watched mayoral race, based on early results. However, the outcome may remain uncertain for some time due to the city’s ranked choice voting system.

As of 10:34 p.m. on Tuesday, Lurie had secured approximately 28% of the reported votes, with Breed trailing at around 24% and Supervisor Aaron Peskin close behind at about 21%. Former interim mayor Mark Farrell followed in fourth place with roughly 18%, while other candidates garnered around 2% or less.

Pre-election polls indicated that none of the candidates had the backing of at least 50% of voters. Farrell’s support may have declined after receiving San Francisco’s largest campaign ethics fine on Monday. Lurie has largely self-financed his campaign, contributing nearly $8.7 million of his own funds.

The new mayor will face significant challenges, stepping into office during a period marked by persistent budget deficits and a deepening crisis in homelessness and housing.

Lurie leads, Breed second, Peskin third

Lurie Leads Breed 28.8% to 24.9% in Tight San Francisco As of Election Day, November 5, 2024, the first round of votes in San Francisco’s mayoral race shows Daniel Lurie in the lead, followed by Mayor London Breed. With 197,108 ballots counted (37.7% of the total), Lurie has 28.8% of the vote, Breed has 24.9%, Aaron Peskin holds 21%, and Mark Farrell is at 18%. Ahsha Safai has 2.7%.

The initial ranked-choice voting results suggest that Lurie will likely advance to a runoff with Breed, and after vote transfers, Lurie could win with 56.7% of the vote. Farrell’s poor performance is concerning, particularly since his support is not translating into votes for Breed. Over half of Farrell’s votes are expected to transfer to Lurie.

There are still over 200,000 votes to be counted, and the results are expected to shift as more ballots are tallied. As for other races, Supervisor Catherine Stefani is leading in Assembly District 19, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins holds a commanding lead, and in the Board of Education race, Jaime Huling and Parag Gupta are the frontrunners.

For the Board of Supervisors, several races are close, with incumbent Connie Chan and challenger Marjan Philhour nearly tied in District 1, while Danny Sauter leads in District 3 and Bilal Mahmood is slightly ahead of Dean Preston in District 5.

Preliminary results for the 15 ballot propositions show strong support for Prop A (school bond), Prop B (land acquisition for homeless shelters), and Prop C (inspector general office), with Prop A leading at 73%, Prop B at 71%, and Prop C at 59%.

The race remains fluid, with more updates expected as the vote count continues.

Proposition D, which aims to halve the number of city commissions and increase the mayor’s power, has received 52% of the vote. This is a narrow lead, and the measure could still be at risk depending on how late votes trend. Prop. D is heavily tied to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell, who has been embroiled in an ethics scandal. Farrell recently agreed to pay a $108,000 fine for commingling campaign funds, and this connection could hurt Prop. D’s chances, potentially even causing it to fail.

Proposition E, which counters Prop. D, has 51.3% of the vote and is only about 5,500 votes behind. If both propositions pass, the one with more votes will prevail.

Other measures include:

– Prop. F, which would allow some veteran cops to collect pensions and salaries, is at 48%.

– Prop. G, for rental subsidies for low-income individuals, is at 56%.

– Prop. H, to lower the age for full firefighter retirement, is at 52%.

– Prop. I, improving retirement benefits for nurses and 911 operators, is leading with 70%.

– Prop. J, funding youth and family programs, is at 81%.

– Prop. K, which would close part of the Great Highway to create a park, has 53%.

– Prop. L, taxing autonomous vehicles and ride-hail services to fund Muni, has 56.3%. It needs to outperform Prop. M to pass, but with Prop. M leading at 70.2%, Prop. L is likely to be nullified.

– Prop. N, creating a fund for first-responder student loans, has 52%.

– Prop. O, which supports reproductive rights, is passing easily with 82%.

Progressive measures like Props. A, B, C, E, G, J, K, L, and O are currently in strong positions to pass.

In the meantime, Mayor London Breed’s election night party is filled with anticipation. While national results, including Donald Trump’s 88% chance of victory, dominate TV screens, local supporters remain hopeful. Breed’s campaign spokesperson is optimistic, highlighting strong local support as staff continue last-minute campaigning.
