San Francisco District 11 Supervisor Ahsha Safai made official Monday what has long been rumored: He's going to challenge Mayor London Breed in next year's mayoral election.

The only other rumored challenger so far is the CEO of Tipping Point Company, Daniel Lurie, but with the election being a year and a half away, there is still time for candidates to enter the race.

Daniel Lurie announcement is imminent.

Daniel Lurie, the founder of anti-poverty nonprofit Tipping Point Community and an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, intends to challenge San Francisco Mayor London Breed in next year’s election, The Standard has learned.

The native San Franciscan has yet to formally announce his candidacy or file paperwork to begin fundraising, but a half-dozen sources with knowledge of Lurie’s plans to run for mayor said he has been hosting gatherings to rally support. He’s also been working to recruit staff and receiving help from political consultant Tyler Law, a partner at Thematic Campaigns, whose firm has handled state and national races, including presidential campaigns for Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg.

“I don’t think there’s a lot of stealth happening at the moment,” said a source with knowledge of the open secret that Lurie plans to run for mayor.

Another source who has met with Lurie said that he “is definitely running—100%.”
