Daniel Lurie, the first-time candidate, made it official this morning: He is San Francisco’s next mayor, and a public servant who will likely work for free.
As for his own wealth, which enabled him to pour over $8.6 million into the campaign, Lurie said he will put all of his holdings into a blind trust on Day One. He takes office on Jan. 8. “Your voices and your call for accountable leadership, service and change have been heard,” Lurie said reflecting on his 13-month-long campaign. “I stand before you, humbled and inspired with the great honor and privilege of serving you, the people of San Francisco, as your next mayor.
Lurie acknowledged the challenges ahead: Both San Francisco’s own economic and social challenges and those brought about by the. But as to how to prepare for such challenges, the mayor-elect laid out some high-level, common-sense promises, but scant details were revealed during the 15-minute press conference.
Fielding questions from the press, Lurie did not say whether he would fire the police chief, and said he would not interfere in the process of Breed appointing a new District 2 supervisor when the incumbent Catherine Stefani leaves for her new job as a California Assemblymember. He was one of the few candidates who declined to offer voters a list of those he would fire, saying that he instead would interview all department heads in the first months of his administration.
