This week, London Breed made history when she became the first African-American woman to become mayor of San Francisco. She narrowly prevailed against Mark Leno, the first openly gay man elected to the California State Senate. A native of San Francisco, Breed was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 2012. She sat down with KQED Senior Editor of Politics and Government Scott Shafer to talk about her historic victory and top priorities.
