'There's blood in the water.' Mark Farrell, a former interim mayor of San Francisco, has officially entered the mayoral race, challenging incumbent Mayor London Breed. Over the past 5 years, Farrell has observed the city's decline and is now focusing his campaign on public safety, cleanliness, and revitalization. He promises to fire Police Chief Bill Scott, clear homeless encampments during his first year in office, and overhaul the city's dealings with nonprofits. Additionally, Farrell aims to 'massively increase' the San Francisco Police Department's budget and has a vision for a safer, cleaner, and more vibrant San Francisco. He has been identified as a third major re-election opponent for Mayor Breed and advocates for a 'zero-tolerance policy for crime.' His campaign has been met with various responses, including a defense of Chief Scott's record by an SFPD spokesperson.
