Non-profit executive and San Francisco mayoral candidate Daniel Lurie stands as the only person running for the office who is a city hall outsider.
CBS News Bay Area recently spent time with Lurie as he raced to make it to a date night with his wife. As he dashed across town, with each passing block, Lurie was reminded of why he's taken on the challenge of a campaign. 'You've got to be all in if you're going to do something as crazy as run for mayor of your hometown,' he said. 'I love when people say that you can't do something, and I think that's what we're seeing in San Francisco ,' he continued.
But you got to have a little something down there,' he said of his graphic socks. 'Too boring, too boring,' he says of plain socks. Lurie walks into an event close to his heart, Downtown First Thursdays in SoMa. It's a monthly happening created by the Civic Joy Fund, a group founded in part by Lurie himself, with a vision rooted in the next generation.
