San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said that one of his primary role models is former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was first elected as a moderate Republican and styled himself a technocrat.
“Bloomberg for me is a big one,” he said in an interview with Politico. “How we’re structuring our administration is very much in the vein of how Bloomberg led.”
Lurie defeated then-incumbent Mayor London Breed in 2024 by running a more centrist-style political campaign in a city that has pioneered progressive drug and alcohol availability programs for homeless San Franciscans.
One of the heirs of the Levi Strauss fortune, Lurie has promised that he would help restore a San Francisco that has been struck by rising crime and homelessness.
