Daniel Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune, is set to become mayor of San Francisco after spending more than $8 million of his own money to position himself as a political outsider who could best tackle the city’s homelessness, drug and crime problems.
Incumbent London Breed conceded the election Thursday. Preliminary returns showed Lurie had won about 56% of support under the city’s ranked-choice voting system, compared with her 44%. The race had narrowed to the two after other major candidates were eliminated.
