Like Goldman – a former Manhattan federal prosecutor – Lurie was elected without any prior experience holding public office. The two men are related through Lurie’s stepfather, Peter Haas, and Goldman’s grandmother, Rhoda Haas Goldman, who were siblings.

While Breed, the first Black woman mayor of San Francisco, was seen as among the most progressive leaders in the city's history, Lurie took a more moderate, centrist approach throughout his campaign. Having survived allegations of buying the race, Lurie will now look to implement a series of changes when he takes office on Jan. 6.

The city’s first Black female mayor conceded to the Levi Strauss heir amid deep voter discontent, particularly about homelessness and crime.

Levi's heir and nonprofit executive Daniel Lurie soundly beat incumbent Mayor London Breed to become San Francisco's next mayor. His victory is part of a broader centrist shift for this famously liberal city.

Levi Strauss heir and philanthropist Daniel Lurie says he will make streets safer, help small businesses and squash the open-air drug markets that have tarnished San Francisco’s image in recent years.

San Francisco’s mayor-elect Daniel Lurie (D), who won over the incumbent last week, discussed Democrats’ losses and his success in an interview Tuesday. CNN’s Erin Burnett pressed Lurie on the impact of the election results on Democrats.
