The mayoral campaign for San Francisco has seen significant fundraising efforts, with Daniel Lurie raising $518,687, London Breed raising $406,760, and Ahsha Safai raising $333,176 by the end of 2023. The total number of candidates running for the November 2024 election has reached 38, with expectations that many will withdraw before the filing deadline. Mayor London Breed is noted for having the fundraising edge and the most cash in the bank, while Daniel Lurie raised more in three months than she did all of last year. Mark Farrell, a former mayor, has also joined the crowded race, which has seen almost $5 million raised. A recent Point-in-Time count of homeless individuals in San Francisco has raised concerns about the accuracy of the data collected, impacting services and federal funding.
NEW: Still 9 months to November election, the San Francisco mayor’s race has already seen $4.8 million raised, much of that backing a Mayor Breed challenger. At this rate—and more candidates coming—this will easily be most expensive race in city history. https://t.co/kIjEQVv2Ie
San Francisco is on track to shatter fundraising records for this year’s mayor’s race. But that might not be a good thing for Mayor London Breed, whose challengers have ties to San Francisco’s old money and venture capitalists. https://t.co/nZe7DP0h7r
Mark Farrell served as mayor of San Francisco for just six months back in 2018. Now he wants the job back from London Breed—and he’s joining a crowded race that has already seen almost $5 million raised. https://t.co/acshXkV2KZ
SF mayor's race update: Breed has the fundraising edge — she's been at it for a few years — and the most cash in the bank. But Lurie raised more in 3 months than she did all of last year. He's also got more PAC $$ right now https://t.co/XvdiQqKoTb
San Francisco tried to take a count of the number of homeless people on the streets, as the city does every other year. But hardly anyone, even Mayor London Breed, thinks they got an accurate number. https://t.co/gTc71nmplQ
TWO MORE CANDIDATES have thrown their name in the hat running for San Francisco Mayor. This brings the total to 38 candidates for November 2024. However, we still have months before the filing deadline - and I expect majority will withdraw by then.
The question "Are you homeless?" is never asked when a Point-in-Time count of unhoused individuals in SF is conducted. Here's what @codetenderloin does to get the most accurate read on the number of homeless, which will impact services and federal dollars. https://t.co/vSRxvhejbn https://t.co/MkiGMPlvYm
