In San Jose, Mayor Matt Mahan \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/liveblog/election-2024#matt-mahan-sails-to-second-term-as-mayor-of-san-jose\">cruised to an early re-election in March\u003c/a>, riding the momentum of his own insurgent victory less than two years ago. And in Oakland, Mayor Sheng Thao \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012357/sheng-thao-accepts-defeat-in-contentious-oakland-mayoral-recall\">was removed from office after an unprecedented\u003c/a> recall election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Candidates have long rode promises of change to victory, but in Mahan and Lurie, voters in the region’s two largest cities have chosen leaders with a historic lack of government experience who touted their outsider status as evidence of a fresh and independent perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Matt Mahan felt like an outsider, and I think Daniel Lurie does, too,” said Jim Wunderman, president and CEO of the business advocacy group the Bay Area Council and a former mayoral chief of staff in San Francisco. “I think their campaigns were sort of saying, ‘Things aren’t being run the way they could be, and I could do a better job, and I won’t be afraid to make the changes.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his surprising victory in 2022, Mahan \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967395/san-jose-labor-groups-dont-like-mayor-matt-mahan-so-why-does-his-re-election-seem-assured\">faced no organized opposition in the mayoral contest held in March\u003c/a> after the city moved its mayoral elections to presidential years. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013667/daniel-lurie-san-franciscos-next-mayor-what-will-that-look-like\">Lurie prevailed in a ranked-choice election, winning the most first-choice votes\u003c/a> and also drawing second-choice support from voters across San Francisco’s political spectrum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This wave of political change in Bay Area cities could have profound impacts on city management, government transparency and local labor unions — especially those representing city workers. Some progressives worry that a new preference for upstart campaigns could challenge the traditional pipelines of power that allow candidates without access to large financial resources to build support while slowly moving up the ranks of local government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12010904/whos-pouring-millions-into-san-franciscos-expensive-mayors-race\">benefited from record spending, much of it self-financed\u003c/a>, to become the city’s first mayor elected without any government experience since Jim Rolph in 1911. When Mahan won the mayorship in 2022, he did so after just two years on the city council — the least government experience of any mayor since San Jose voters began directly electing the position in 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11984099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg\" alt=\"A white middle aged man speaks into microphones wearing a blue suit and a white collared shirt with no tie.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan at the press conference on April 25, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both Mahan and Lurie were able to seize on voter discontent over widespread and highly visible homelessness, a rise in shoplifting and commercial burglaries and ongoing disruptions from the pandemic by blaming city hall “insiders.” They argued that their years of experience outside of government — Mahan as CEO of the civic engagement tech platform Brigade, Lurie as founder of the anti-poverty nonprofit Tipping Point Community — would allow them to engineer a culture shift within the municipal bureaucracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013667/daniel-lurie-san-franciscos-next-mayor-what-will-that-look-like\">At his victory press conference on Friday\u003c/a>, Lurie promised “a government centered on accountability, service and change” that would move past years of corruption scandals. It was a message with echoes of Mahan’s 2022 campaign call for “common sense, accountability and transparency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither candidate emerged completely independent of their cities’ existing power structures. Lurie grew up amid San Francisco’s financial elite, and his work with Tipping Point brought him close contact with city leaders trying to reduce homelessness. Mahan was backed by the incumbent mayor, Sam Liccardo, and the city’s powerful business community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wunderman said voters viewed these political outsiders as better equipped to take a data-driven approach to reducing homelessness, crime and blight — and more likely to ask tough questions of city department heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like ‘Why do we have so many employees in the city? What are we getting from the work of these departments and the individuals in them?” Wunderman said. “‘What kind of management do we have in place?’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those questions could portend conflict with existing city employees and the unions that represent them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan has sparred with municipal worker unions since taking office, and he \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11958290/san-jose-city-council-approves-agreements-with-unions-to-avoid-strike\">voted against a deal that raised wages and benefits for city employees\u003c/a> last year. Lurie’s relationship with labor is less defined. While he received the support of a few unions, most labor groups backed other candidates in the mayoral race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IFPTE Local 21, which represents municipal workers across the Bay Area’s largest cities, has opposed Mahan and strongly supported Sheng Thao in Oakland. In San Francisco, they recommended only that voters leave former interim mayor Mark Farrell off of their ranked-choice ballots for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s our fervent hope that Daniel Lurie’s administration is going to make it a priority to support the workers that actually make this city run,” said Bianca Polovina, president of IFPTE Local 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polovina said the mayoral election results should not be read as a rebuke to organized labor — pointing to the success of a majority of IFPTE-endorsed candidates for supervisor and city council across the three cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='politics' label='More Politics Coverage.']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Working people across the San Francisco Bay Area are demanding bold leadership that prioritizes high-quality public services,” Polovina added. “Voters are pretty adamant that they want core essential services, they want clean streets, effective public transportation, and comprehensive public safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did Mahan and Lurie win without major backing from labor, incumbent elected officials across the political spectrum also opposed them. All of Mahan’s fellow city council members endorsed his 2022 opponent, Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, and not a single sitting San Francisco supervisor picked Lurie as their first choice for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing entrenched interests and the daunting task of introducing themselves to voters, Lurie’s personal wealth and Mahan’s Silicon Valley connections provided them with access to capital, argued Kimi Lee, executive director of Bay Rising, a coalition of progressive groups working to build political power among working-class voters of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we see is that there’s definitely an influence of corporations and billionaires and outside money and venture capitalists,” said Lee, who also noted the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998651/a-hedge-fund-manager-is-funding-bid-to-oust-oaklands-mayor-and-its-not-his-first-recall\">outsized role of a single hedge-fund manager\u003c/a> in funding the Thao recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the losing end of last week’s electoral upheaval were two incumbents, Thao and Breed, who had spent years working their way up the ranks of city government before breaking barriers as their city’s first Hmong-American and Black female mayors, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there is still something there, where people overly criticize women, women of color,” said Lee. “They expect higher things from them — just more critical, saying they’re soft on crime…or saying that they’re not someone who can handle this job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s lack of experience will be tested quickly, as he will face the immediate challenges of building an administration, establishing relationships within city hall and closing an ongoing budget deficit. After a rocky first year in office in which he was often on the losing end of high-profile votes, Mahan found his footing in 2024 — winning \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989926/san-jose-council-approves-budget-with-historic-shift-in-unhoused-spending\">unanimous support for his homeless housing plan\u003c/a>, emerging as a leading supporter of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012656/proposition-36-californias-newest-tough-on-crime-measure-appears-headed-for-victory\">new criminal sentencing law approved by California voters\u003c/a>, Proposition 36, and garnering 87% of the vote in his run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next test for insurgent campaigns will be in Oakland, where voters will likely pick a new mayor in a special election next spring. Any outsider running there will face a familiar historical obstacle: since the city returned to directly electing the position in the 1950s, every Oakland mayor has come into office with prior government experience.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When Mahan won the mayorship in 2022, he did so after just two years on the city council — the least government experience of any mayor since San Jose voters began directly electing the position in 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11984099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11984099\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg\" alt=\"A white middle aged man speaks into microphones wearing a blue suit and a white collared shirt with no tie.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/San-Jose-License-Plate-Readers-08-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan at the press conference on April 25, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joseph Geha/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Both Mahan and Lurie were able to seize on voter discontent over widespread and highly visible homelessness, a rise in shoplifting and commercial burglaries and ongoing disruptions from the pandemic by blaming city hall “insiders.” They argued that their years of experience outside of government — Mahan as CEO of the civic engagement tech platform Brigade, Lurie as founder of the anti-poverty nonprofit Tipping Point Community — would allow them to engineer a culture shift within the municipal bureaucracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013667/daniel-lurie-san-franciscos-next-mayor-what-will-that-look-like\">At his victory press conference on Friday\u003c/a>, Lurie promised “a government centered on accountability, service and change” that would move past years of corruption scandals. It was a message with echoes of Mahan’s 2022 campaign call for “common sense, accountability and transparency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither candidate emerged completely independent of their cities’ existing power structures. Lurie grew up amid San Francisco’s financial elite, and his work with Tipping Point brought him close contact with city leaders trying to reduce homelessness. Mahan was backed by the incumbent mayor, Sam Liccardo, and the city’s powerful business community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wunderman said voters viewed these political outsiders as better equipped to take a data-driven approach to reducing homelessness, crime and blight — and more likely to ask tough questions of city department heads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like ‘Why do we have so many employees in the city? What are we getting from the work of these departments and the individuals in them?” Wunderman said. “‘What kind of management do we have in place?’’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of those questions could portend conflict with existing city employees and the unions that represent them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mahan has sparred with municipal worker unions since taking office, and he \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11958290/san-jose-city-council-approves-agreements-with-unions-to-avoid-strike\">voted against a deal that raised wages and benefits for city employees\u003c/a> last year. Lurie’s relationship with labor is less defined. While he received the support of a few unions, most labor groups backed other candidates in the mayoral race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IFPTE Local 21, which represents municipal workers across the Bay Area’s largest cities, has opposed Mahan and strongly supported Sheng Thao in Oakland. In San Francisco, they recommended only that voters leave former interim mayor Mark Farrell off of their ranked-choice ballots for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s our fervent hope that Daniel Lurie’s administration is going to make it a priority to support the workers that actually make this city run,” said Bianca Polovina, president of IFPTE Local 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polovina said the mayoral election results should not be read as a rebuke to organized labor — pointing to the success of a majority of IFPTE-endorsed candidates for supervisor and city council across the three cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All of Mahan’s fellow city council members endorsed his 2022 opponent, Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, and not a single sitting San Francisco supervisor picked Lurie as their first choice for mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing entrenched interests and the daunting task of introducing themselves to voters, Lurie’s personal wealth and Mahan’s Silicon Valley connections provided them with access to capital, argued Kimi Lee, executive director of Bay Rising, a coalition of progressive groups working to build political power among working-class voters of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we see is that there’s definitely an influence of corporations and billionaires and outside money and venture capitalists,” said Lee, who also noted the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998651/a-hedge-fund-manager-is-funding-bid-to-oust-oaklands-mayor-and-its-not-his-first-recall\">outsized role of a single hedge-fund manager\u003c/a> in funding the Thao recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the losing end of last week’s electoral upheaval were two incumbents, Thao and Breed, who had spent years working their way up the ranks of city government before breaking barriers as their city’s first Hmong-American and Black female mayors, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there is still something there, where people overly criticize women, women of color,” said Lee. “They expect higher things from them — just more critical, saying they’re soft on crime…or saying that they’re not someone who can handle this job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s lack of experience will be tested quickly, as he will face the immediate challenges of building an administration, establishing relationships within city hall and closing an ongoing budget deficit. After a rocky first year in office in which he was often on the losing end of high-profile votes, Mahan found his footing in 2024 — winning \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989926/san-jose-council-approves-budget-with-historic-shift-in-unhoused-spending\">unanimous support for his homeless housing plan\u003c/a>, emerging as a leading supporter of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012656/proposition-36-californias-newest-tough-on-crime-measure-appears-headed-for-victory\">new criminal sentencing law approved by California voters\u003c/a>, Proposition 36, and garnering 87% of the vote in his run for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He denounced efforts by the Biden administration to forgive student loans. Now that the former president has been reelected, his second term in office is almost certain to spell trouble for public education, including in \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/california\">California\u003c/a>, home to the largest public school system in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California education officials are already calling on President-elect Trump to protect public school funding but are preparing for the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Superintendent Tony Thurmond addressed concerns at a press conference on Friday, surrounded by teachers holding “Education is for everyone” and “Protect all students” signs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not a partisan issue,” he said. “This is an issue of continuing to assure that students have access to the resources that they are entitled to under the law. And we will continue to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump follows through on his vow to abolish the Department of Education, California could face a nearly $8 billion loss in funding for public education. If that happens, Thurmond said he would call on the state Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office to backfill that funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll see where things end up, but we are already prepared to take legislative action and steps to protect funding in education,” Thurmond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he’s already heard from educators worried about the threat to their most vulnerable students, including those from immigrant families, as well as those enrolled in special education programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said, ‘If the U.S. Department of Education is abolished, does that mean that we’re getting rid of special education services for California students?’ And let me be clear: We will not be ever getting rid of special education services in the great state of California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s first term, he rolled back many Obama-era protections for marginalized students, including students of color and transgender students. Then-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos rescinded Obama’s Title IX guidance for transgender students, which allowed them to use restrooms and locker rooms that matched their gender identity. Trump’s administration also tossed Obama-era civil rights efforts in schools, including a policy aimed at preventing schools from disproportionately disciplining students of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every education-related rollback was successful. For instance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.edweek.org/policy-politics/trump-budget-would-make-massive-cuts-to-ed-dept-but-boost-school-choice/2017/03\">Trump tried to cut funding\u003c/a> to the Department of Education by 13% and eliminate popular programs like after-school programs and teacher training, but a Republican-controlled Congress rejected those efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, California educators are worried about the damage a second Trump presidency could do to their schools and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure we have a safe space for every student, regardless of their immigration status,” said Jeff Freitas, president of the California Federation of Teachers and a high school math teacher. “We want to make sure this is a safe space for every LGBTQ+ student.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decrease in funding would be especially troublesome in the Bay Area, where local school districts are already under financial strain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Unified School District is currently \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12006395/sf-school-district-should-focus-on-budget-before-deciding-on-campus-closures-breed-says\">facing a massive budget deficit\u003c/a>, which has forced it to consider closing and merging some schools, causing outcry among parents, teachers and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s school district is also grappling with a big budget deficit of $174 million. On Friday, the district announced \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">it \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013739/oakland-school-board-spurns-campus-closures-plans-merge-some-schools-instead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">plans\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013739/oakland-school-board-spurns-campus-closures-plans-merge-some-schools-instead\"> to merge 10 campuses\u003c/a> to reduce costs.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12013558,news_12013269,forum_2010101907754\"]“At a time when we’re facing a fiscal cliff for other reasons, losing $10 million here or $10 million there … it would be really serious for us,” said Sam Davis, outgoing president of the Oakland Unified School District board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal funding accounts for about 7% of the district’s funding, according to Davis. That includes funding for Title I programs, which provide academic opportunities for lower-income students, as well as for special education programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vast majority of the district’s funding, though, comes from the state. And Davis said he’s encouraged by Thurmond’s commitment to backfill funding should the federal dollars go away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Trump’s first term in office, Davis said the district didn’t face significant cuts despite Trump’s focus on education privatization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The last time around, what we saw was an incompetent administration and a lot of infighting, so they weren’t very effective at implementing their agenda,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time, Davis said the guardrails have come off, and he’s worried about the extreme plans \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11998288/what-is-project-2025-donald-trump-heritage-foundation-director-steps-down\">laid out in Project 2025\u003c/a>, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis said he’s most concerned for the more vulnerable students in the district, especially those from immigrant families. Oakland has one of the highest proportional populations of students who have been in the U.S. for fewer than three years in the state, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are committed to supporting our families through this difficult time,” he said. “I think we just need to be clear-eyed about the fight that we have on our hands over the next four years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

You know, votes are still being counted. So this wasn’t like the total of all the cumulative votes put together. But, you know, a lot of political scientists that I spoke to and people who are watching this race did say that, you know, just the math of it was going to be really difficult for her to pull through at that point and get a lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:01:59] And I mean, how big of a shakeup is this in San Francisco politics, Sidney?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:02:07] It’s a huge shakeup. Lurie has not had a job in government before. So this is going to be really a true test of of what his experience can look like. And it’s also the first time that the city has had a mayor that hasn’t been working in City hall in almost a century. You know, London Breed and some of her predecessors all worked on either the Board of Supervisors or other, you know, roles in City Hall. And Daniel Lurie has campaigned on being an outsider and really positioning himself as a fresh face who can come in and, you know, try to root out some of these issues of corruption that have come up not only in this election cycle, but over the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:01] And I guess that him being an outsider, seemed to have appealed to a lot of people. What were voters most concerned about and how did Daniel Lurie distinguish himself in this field?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] A lot of polls showed that for voters in this election cycle, the top issues were homelessness, housing, public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:23] We need clean and safe streets. That’s why I’ve said my top priority is public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] When it came to public safety, he talked about how he wanted to fully fund the police department, increase, you know, foot patrols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:36] Nothing else matters if we don’t keep people safe. We don’t keep downtown safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:41] And then when it came to homelessness, he says that he does want to enforce sit lie laws in order to clear encampments and remove people who are homeless from sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:51] I want trained clinicians going out first, bringing people into a 24 seven crisis center and then deploying them to beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] But he said he wants to do so by opening up more shelter beds and really rapidly building more housing. You know, of course, that’s going to be a lot harder to do in practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:04:12] I’m the only person in this race that’s gotten housing built. I know how to get big things done. And the key component of all of it is holding people accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:22] One of the big issues that Laurie campaigned on was bringing more accountability to city hall. You know, he told me that he’s going to have weekly meetings with department heads and that he’s going to make a lot of city hall staff, quote, re-interview for their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:04:38] If you want more of the same, you got four other people to choose from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:47] Being the only candidate without experience directly in city hall, you know, Lurie faced attacks around that from his opponents. Breed even said one time that it would be dangerous to elect someone like Lurie who, you know, hasn’t had that experience. You know, managing public budgets and overseeing enormous staffs of thousands of people. But Lurie really leaned into that and he, you know, told voters often the people who are in city hall right now are the people who created a lot of the problems that the city is struggling to repair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:05:25] We don’t have a crisis of resources in our city. We have a crisis of leadership. If you want something different, if you want change in this city, I’m all, I’m here for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:38] And he was also the wealthiest person running great. Lots of his own money spent on his campaign. What role do you think that played in his ultimate success?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:54] So, I mean, Lurie’s message was powerful. It definitely seemed to resonate with a lot of people. But his campaign financing and his wealth was what allowed that message to reach so far. Lurie raised more than any candidate for mayor in the city’s history. You know, he’s an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune. Obviously, that name probably had a little bit of an extra boost of credibility here in San Francisco. But he raised close to $16 million across his whole campaign. And that was more than any other candidate. And more than $8 million of that came from Daniel Lurie himself. And so, you know, there was a lot of money in this race in general. We saw a lot of VC, you know, tech and crypto investors donating millions of dollars to propositions and other candidates. But Lurie definitely soared above the pack in terms of financing this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:50] Yeah, and that helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:06:52] Sure did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:54] I want to turn to the other candidates who, as we’ve been talking about, have a lot of experience in local politics. Interim mayor, Supervisor Mark Farrell, Supervisor Aaron Peskin and Mayor London Breed. Why ultimately do you think these three weren’t able to rise to the top? I almost feel like it’s sort of easier to run as the outsider candidate than it is to be on the defensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:19] Yeah. You know, it’s it’s hard to say because running as an outsider is also difficult. You know, being an incumbent is a huge advantage. You have a record. You have name recognition. I’d say for, you know, Breed, Farrell and Peskin, it’s a little bit of a different story for each candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin, he was the only candidate running on a progressive platform in this race, which was all Democrats. In terms of the leading candidates, we should point out. And in the beginning, it was kind of unclear where he would be coalescing support among progressives in the city. It seemed a little bit scattered what his base was going to look like. That certainly changed as the election got closer. We saw him rising in the polls, but it just never seemed to, you know, really rise above kind of the the threshold that Breed and Breed had sort of established in terms of their base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed campaigned as the cheerleader for the city. You know, if you remember just a couple of years ago, she was really leaning into that doom loop narrative about the city. And, you know, on the campaign trail, she was trying to convince voters that actually things have improved and that’s on the right track. And, you know, she’s got more work to do. And, you know, a lot of voters didn’t buy that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then Mark Farrell, you know, his run has really been hallmarked by some pretty serious ethics scandals even before his current mayoral bid. Mark Farrell had one of the largest campaign ethics violation fines in the city’s history back from his run for supervisor just on Monday, the day before the election, Mark Farrell was hit with another ethics. Fine. And this was the biggest fine in the city’s history for a campaign finance violation. He agreed and announced the settlement the day before the election. And, you know, I think all of these adding up just really did not support his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:28] I mean, what has the reaction to Daniel Lurie’s win looked like so far?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] Good evening, everyone. I’m San Francisco mayor London breed and being mayor of the city has been the absolute honor of my life. But this office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:44] London Breed conceded the race. You know, frankly, I was almost a little bit surprised. It was early just considering votes are still being counted. Clearly, it was not the outcome that she had hoped for. But she was in good spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:10:00] I am really grateful and excited about what is happening in this city, is starting to look good and feel good and the city is on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:09] But she said it was time to put the election behind us and, you know, get behind this next mayor. And, you know, she she seemed to be trying to be as positive as as she could, I think, in that situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:10:23] And I called Daniel Lurie earlier today to congratulate him and made it very clear that my team and I stand ready to support him during his transition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:10:35] Good morning, everybody. It is a beautiful day in San Francisco. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:43] Lurie’s first press conference since he was elected. On Friday morning, he told reporters that he is ready to take on the job. He said that it’s time for change. He said that he is planning to bring accountability to city hall. And he really was just trying to continue that message, that change is coming to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Your voices and your call for accountable leadership, service and change have been heard. 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:27] You know, there’s definitely a lot of buzz from people online and just you know that I’ve talked to you on the phone in the last 24 hours who are really curious, I’d say, about what Daniel’s administration is going to look like. I mean, not only was he campaigning as an outsider, but he was really campaigning against the people who are in city hall. And we maybe got a taste of that on the campaign trail. But in terms of what, you know, that’s actually going to look like in office and whether he’s going to be able to achieve some of the things that he’s been talking about. That’s all what we’re going to have to wait and see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:12:11] We have a change coming on January 8th, 2025. This city will rise again. Thank you all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:27] What challenges do you think Leary faces as he takes office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:34] The biggest one is just that we are stepping into Trump’s second term. And when we look at the first time that that happened, you know, the city was on the defensive constantly. There were dozens of legal battles that the city was fighting against the Trump administration. You know, so it’s going to be difficult, I think, for Lurie to be focused on on all the things that he wants to be, because there’s going to be a lot of scrutiny and attention on San Francisco, not to mention the fact that, you know, the feds control important resources that the city relies on for things like housing. And on the note of budgets. The city is facing a massive budget deficit and he’s going to be tasked with trying to solve some of that. And that is not going to be an easy task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:24] I mean, ultimately, Sidney, what do you think Lurie’s win says about where San Francisco is at right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:32] I think it shows that San Franciscans are really eager to see something different in our city. You know, I think that there was a lot of pride in the early days of the pandemic in a way of how Mayor London Breed responded. And there was this feeling of, you know, unity in some ways, even though that was such a hard time as things started waning. You know, people started coming out and the city really struggled to bounce back. There was some of the worst numbers for our overdose crisis. And, you know, homelessness really did get worse during the pandemic when a lot of people lost jobs and housing and they didn’t see a quick enough recovery that I think gave them faith that London breed would be able to continue doing that. And, you know, I think it shows that voters were willing to take a risk and say we need something different. And even if this guy hasn’t been in government before, you know, maybe that’s something that we’re willing to find out if if he can do the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:14:44] Well, Sydney, thank you so much for joining us. And also thank you so much for all your work this election season and I hope you get some rest real soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:14:53] Thank you. Thank you, too.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You know, votes are still being counted. So this wasn’t like the total of all the cumulative votes put together. But, you know, a lot of political scientists that I spoke to and people who are watching this race did say that, you know, just the math of it was going to be really difficult for her to pull through at that point and get a lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:01:59] And I mean, how big of a shakeup is this in San Francisco politics, Sidney?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:02:07] It’s a huge shakeup. Lurie has not had a job in government before. So this is going to be really a true test of of what his experience can look like. And it’s also the first time that the city has had a mayor that hasn’t been working in City hall in almost a century. You know, London Breed and some of her predecessors all worked on either the Board of Supervisors or other, you know, roles in City Hall. And Daniel Lurie has campaigned on being an outsider and really positioning himself as a fresh face who can come in and, you know, try to root out some of these issues of corruption that have come up not only in this election cycle, but over the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:01] And I guess that him being an outsider, seemed to have appealed to a lot of people. What were voters most concerned about and how did Daniel Lurie distinguish himself in this field?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] A lot of polls showed that for voters in this election cycle, the top issues were homelessness, housing, public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:23] We need clean and safe streets. That’s why I’ve said my top priority is public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] When it came to public safety, he talked about how he wanted to fully fund the police department, increase, you know, foot patrols.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:36] Nothing else matters if we don’t keep people safe. We don’t keep downtown safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:03:41] And then when it came to homelessness, he says that he does want to enforce sit lie laws in order to clear encampments and remove people who are homeless from sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:03:51] I want trained clinicians going out first, bringing people into a 24 seven crisis center and then deploying them to beds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] But he said he wants to do so by opening up more shelter beds and really rapidly building more housing. You know, of course, that’s going to be a lot harder to do in practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:04:12] I’m the only person in this race that’s gotten housing built. I know how to get big things done. And the key component of all of it is holding people accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:22] One of the big issues that Laurie campaigned on was bringing more accountability to city hall. You know, he told me that he’s going to have weekly meetings with department heads and that he’s going to make a lot of city hall staff, quote, re-interview for their job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:04:38] If you want more of the same, you got four other people to choose from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:04:47] Being the only candidate without experience directly in city hall, you know, Lurie faced attacks around that from his opponents. Breed even said one time that it would be dangerous to elect someone like Lurie who, you know, hasn’t had that experience. You know, managing public budgets and overseeing enormous staffs of thousands of people. But Lurie really leaned into that and he, you know, told voters often the people who are in city hall right now are the people who created a lot of the problems that the city is struggling to repair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:05:25] We don’t have a crisis of resources in our city. We have a crisis of leadership. If you want something different, if you want change in this city, I’m all, I’m here for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:38] And he was also the wealthiest person running great. Lots of his own money spent on his campaign. What role do you think that played in his ultimate success?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:05:54] So, I mean, Lurie’s message was powerful. It definitely seemed to resonate with a lot of people. But his campaign financing and his wealth was what allowed that message to reach so far. Lurie raised more than any candidate for mayor in the city’s history. You know, he’s an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune. Obviously, that name probably had a little bit of an extra boost of credibility here in San Francisco. But he raised close to $16 million across his whole campaign. And that was more than any other candidate. And more than $8 million of that came from Daniel Lurie himself. And so, you know, there was a lot of money in this race in general. We saw a lot of VC, you know, tech and crypto investors donating millions of dollars to propositions and other candidates. But Lurie definitely soared above the pack in terms of financing this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:50] Yeah, and that helps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:06:52] Sure did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:54] I want to turn to the other candidates who, as we’ve been talking about, have a lot of experience in local politics. Interim mayor, Supervisor Mark Farrell, Supervisor Aaron Peskin and Mayor London Breed. Why ultimately do you think these three weren’t able to rise to the top? I almost feel like it’s sort of easier to run as the outsider candidate than it is to be on the defensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:07:19] Yeah. You know, it’s it’s hard to say because running as an outsider is also difficult. You know, being an incumbent is a huge advantage. You have a record. You have name recognition. I’d say for, you know, Breed, Farrell and Peskin, it’s a little bit of a different story for each candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin, he was the only candidate running on a progressive platform in this race, which was all Democrats. In terms of the leading candidates, we should point out. And in the beginning, it was kind of unclear where he would be coalescing support among progressives in the city. It seemed a little bit scattered what his base was going to look like. That certainly changed as the election got closer. We saw him rising in the polls, but it just never seemed to, you know, really rise above kind of the the threshold that Breed and Breed had sort of established in terms of their base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed campaigned as the cheerleader for the city. You know, if you remember just a couple of years ago, she was really leaning into that doom loop narrative about the city. And, you know, on the campaign trail, she was trying to convince voters that actually things have improved and that’s on the right track. And, you know, she’s got more work to do. And, you know, a lot of voters didn’t buy that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then Mark Farrell, you know, his run has really been hallmarked by some pretty serious ethics scandals even before his current mayoral bid. Mark Farrell had one of the largest campaign ethics violation fines in the city’s history back from his run for supervisor just on Monday, the day before the election, Mark Farrell was hit with another ethics. Fine. And this was the biggest fine in the city’s history for a campaign finance violation. He agreed and announced the settlement the day before the election. And, you know, I think all of these adding up just really did not support his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:28] I mean, what has the reaction to Daniel Lurie’s win looked like so far?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] Good evening, everyone. I’m San Francisco mayor London breed and being mayor of the city has been the absolute honor of my life. But this office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:09:44] London Breed conceded the race. You know, frankly, I was almost a little bit surprised. It was early just considering votes are still being counted. Clearly, it was not the outcome that she had hoped for. But she was in good spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:10:00] I am really grateful and excited about what is happening in this city, is starting to look good and feel good and the city is on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:09] But she said it was time to put the election behind us and, you know, get behind this next mayor. And, you know, she she seemed to be trying to be as positive as as she could, I think, in that situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>London Breed \u003c/strong>[00:10:23] And I called Daniel Lurie earlier today to congratulate him and made it very clear that my team and I stand ready to support him during his transition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:10:35] Good morning, everybody. It is a beautiful day in San Francisco. Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:10:43] Lurie’s first press conference since he was elected. On Friday morning, he told reporters that he is ready to take on the job. He said that it’s time for change. He said that he is planning to bring accountability to city hall. And he really was just trying to continue that message, that change is coming to the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Your voices and your call for accountable leadership, service and change have been heard. 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.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:11:27] You know, there’s definitely a lot of buzz from people online and just you know that I’ve talked to you on the phone in the last 24 hours who are really curious, I’d say, about what Daniel’s administration is going to look like. I mean, not only was he campaigning as an outsider, but he was really campaigning against the people who are in city hall. And we maybe got a taste of that on the campaign trail. But in terms of what, you know, that’s actually going to look like in office and whether he’s going to be able to achieve some of the things that he’s been talking about. That’s all what we’re going to have to wait and see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Daniel Lurie \u003c/strong>[00:12:11] We have a change coming on January 8th, 2025. This city will rise again. Thank you all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:27] What challenges do you think Leary faces as he takes office?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:12:34] The biggest one is just that we are stepping into Trump’s second term. And when we look at the first time that that happened, you know, the city was on the defensive constantly. There were dozens of legal battles that the city was fighting against the Trump administration. You know, so it’s going to be difficult, I think, for Lurie to be focused on on all the things that he wants to be, because there’s going to be a lot of scrutiny and attention on San Francisco, not to mention the fact that, you know, the feds control important resources that the city relies on for things like housing. And on the note of budgets. The city is facing a massive budget deficit and he’s going to be tasked with trying to solve some of that. And that is not going to be an easy task.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:24] I mean, ultimately, Sidney, what do you think Lurie’s win says about where San Francisco is at right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sydney Johnson \u003c/strong>[00:13:32] I think it shows that San Franciscans are really eager to see something different in our city. You know, I think that there was a lot of pride in the early days of the pandemic in a way of how Mayor London Breed responded. And there was this feeling of, you know, unity in some ways, even though that was such a hard time as things started waning. You know, people started coming out and the city really struggled to bounce back. There was some of the worst numbers for our overdose crisis. And, you know, homelessness really did get worse during the pandemic when a lot of people lost jobs and housing and they didn’t see a quick enough recovery that I think gave them faith that London breed would be able to continue doing that. And, you know, I think it shows that voters were willing to take a risk and say we need something different. And even if this guy hasn’t been in government before, you know, maybe that’s something that we’re willing to find out if if he can do the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:14:44] Well, Sydney, thank you so much for joining us. And also thank you so much for all your work this election season and I hope you get some rest real soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/sanfrancisco/races#mayor\">won about 56% of votes\u003c/a> after ranked-choice tallies, compared to Breed’s 44%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for all of Lurie’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001601/city-hall-outsider-daniel-lurie-wants-to-clean-up-local-government\">campaigning on an “outsider” platform\u003c/a>, it wasn’t his lack of government experience that voters were attracted to, said James Taylor, a professor and political scientist at the University of San Francisco. Rather, he said, Lurie rose to the top after his opponents failed to grasp the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Daniel Lurie was the last guy at the party. There was nobody else to dance with,” Taylor said. “London Breed lost because people did not feel good under her leadership, not because she was wrong on policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12013684 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ShengThaoPamelaPrice-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, many of Lurie’s policies and approaches to solving priority issues such as homelessness, housing production and public safety aligned with Breed, a fellow moderate Democrat.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco voters have spoken, and they are ready for a shakeup on the school board. At a particularly tumultuous time for the city’s schools, the seven-person board appears likely to have four fresh faces come January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/san-francisco-unified-school-district\">San Francisco Unified School District\u003c/a> reels from a botched school closure plan, the resignations of both the former board president and district superintendent, and an ongoing budget crisis, newcomers holding the majority of Board of Education seats could bring around big changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most notable will be how the board chooses to handle school closures and mergers, which SFUSD’s leadership said were necessary to balance resources, but the outgoing board didn’t seem to have an appetite for after a poorly executed roll-out. The plan \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011347/sf-schools-wont-close-yet-but-the-city-still-has-questions-about-huge-budget-cuts\">is now on ice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, three of the four leading candidates as of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/sanfrancisco/school#board-of-education\">latest update from city elections officials\u003c/a>, released Thursday afternoon, have indicated that closures need to be on the table as SFUSD prepares to announce massive budget cuts in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaime Huling, who is almost guaranteed to win one of four available seats after taking a strong lead in first-choice votes, hasn’t shared her stance on future school closures, though she has been a vocal opponent of former Superintendent Matt Wayne’s proposal and the board’s handling of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/jaimenina/status/1854079175864582426\">post on social media platform X\u003c/a> after polls closed Tuesday, she said, “I will always fight to protect our immigrant communities, trans kids, freedom of speech, and funding for education. We will not fail our kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two other front-runners who campaigned alongside Huling — John Jersin and Parag Gupta — have indicated support for consolidating schools.
