San Francisco's call for accountable leadership, service, and change has been heard. I am both humbled and inspired by the great honor and privilege of serving you—the people of San Francisco—as your next Mayor. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly on this campaign, and to my wife Becca, our children, and my entire family for their unwavering support. Most importantly, thank you to the people of San Francisco for placing your trust in me. Yesterday, I received a gracious call from Mayor London Breed, who offered her assistance during this transition. We’re both committed to working together to prepare for the hard work ahead. I entered this race not as a politician, but as a father who couldn’t explain to my children what they were seeing on our streets. For my family, and for so many others, this campaign was about fighting for the city we love. Together, we defied cynicism and proved that hope is alive and well in San Francisco. But hope alone isn’t enough. We must turn this hope into action and results. Our mandate is clear: deliver clean and safe streets, address our drug and behavioral health crisis, shake up a corrupt bureaucracy, build housing that our neighbors can afford, support our hardworking small businesses, and revitalize our downtown. To achieve this, we must be courageous, compassionate, and honest. I want to assure you that the administration we’re building will reflect the diversity, passion, and dedication of San Francisco itself. The people I hire will not serve me—they will serve you and your vision for a city that listens and delivers. As we celebrate this victory, I know many of us feel deep concern about the state of our country. Under my watch, San Francisco will stand as a beacon of inclusivity and progress, committed to defending the rights of all of our neighbors. We will address the challenges of our times with integrity and compassion. As your mayor, I will take aim at the problems that need solving right here in San Francisco, because that is what the people of this city have elected me to do. Together, we must roll up our sleeves. Because when San Francisco wins, we all win. I am deeply grateful for your belief in me, and I am more hopeful than ever that San Francisco, the city we love, will rise again.
