San Francisco Mayor London Breed conceded to challenger Daniel Lurie on Thursday and said she called to congratulate the Levi Strauss heir.

The latest numbers show Lurie is leading with 56% over Breed’s 43% and while ballots are still being processed at City Hall, Mayor Breed said she didn’t see a mathematical way that she could win.

In his news conference, Mayor-elect Lurie made it clear that he disagrees with President-elect Trump, but he will not let that stop him from working to improve the city.

To him, the top priorities are public safety and fentanyl emergency.

Coming off the presidential election, he mentioned that he will protect the rights of all San Franciscans, including the LGBTQ+ community.

That’s why she conceded only an hour after the latest batch of election results were released, cementing Lurie’s lead.

Lurie was the only top San Francisco mayoral candidate who had never held public office. He is the founder of a San Francisco nonprofit and heir to the Levi Strauss fortune.

He said that he will not take a salary as mayor.

In her concession speech, Breed called her past six years in office the “greatest honor” of her lifetime.

She defended her record on crime, saying that San Francisco currently has one of its lowest crime rates in more than a decade.

Lurie will officially take office on Jan. 8.
