Daniel Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss clothing empire, has won the mayoralty in San Francisco, defeating incumbent London Breed. Lurie, who has no prior political experience, ran on a reformist campaign promising to address issues such as homelessness, drug use, public safety, and the local economic downturn. He is the fourth Jewish mayor in the city's history and comes from a family with deep ties to the Bay Area Jewish community. Lurie's victory comes at a time when the region has seen a rise in pro-Palestinian activism and antisemitism, which has left many Bay Area Jews feeling unsafe.
