London Breed, the outgoing Mayor of San Francisco, reflects on her six years in office, facing challenges such as a pandemic, drug crisis, and homelessness. She discusses her future plans, her humble upbringing, and the unexpected events that shaped her political career.
Thursday, December 19, 2024 6:01AM San Francisco Mayor London Breed has only a few more weeks in office. During her tenure, she led the city during some difficult times, a pandemic, a drug crisis and a persistent homeless problem. We sat down with Mayor Breed to reflect on her six years in office.: 'It seems everyone wants to know, what's next for London Breed ? So, let's start there.': 'Who knows, I may write a book, I may start my own business, I just don't know what I want to do.
But I want to take a moment to just take some time for myself so I could figure it out.' London Breed admits her humble upbringing shaped her identity, yet, she never allowed others to perceive her as anything less than a rising star. In 2013, she was sworn in as the supervisor of her district, which includes the Western Addition, the only neighborhood she's really known. It was only a matter of time before she became president of that board and in that role, the unexpected landed abruptly.: December 11, 2017, then-mayor Ed Lee suffered a massive heart attack. Do you remember that phone call?: 'I also remember right after I got that call because it was really unbelievable. I remember texting my pastor and saying pray for me, pray for the city, I felt we needed prayers because I didn't know what that entailed.'It was short-lived as the board voted for someone else, Mark Farrell.: 'I call it the 'Red Wedding' happened when I was removed. If you know 'Game of Thrones,' you know what I am talking about.' One Supervisor, Hillary Ronen said, 'she could not vote for Breed because she allegedly was supported by white, rich men and billionaire
