On the eve of the 35th anniversary of the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake, many of us remember that frightening moment at 5:04 p.m. that shook our city and the entire Bay Area. If you were here, you remember exactly where you were when it hit.

Back then, we had faith in our city’s disaster response, because it was led by then-Mayor Art Agnos, whose extensive and varied government experience prepared him to manage resources and lead the City through one of its city’s worst disasters.

When the COVID crisis hit in 2020, Mayor Breed boldly and courageously took quick action to save thousands of lives. She had extensive and varied government experience, which enabled her to manage effectively. She had the experience to know how dire the situation could be – especially among our most vulnerable citizens – and, just as importantly, she knew how dangerous inaction could be. She had to make tough decisions, and the stakes couldn’t have been higher. 

The Chronicle put it plainly:

“Breed deserves credit for how she handled these immense challenges.” 

Putting San Francisco in the hands of a Mayor with zero experience is a big risk. When it comes to Daniel Lurie's utter lack of experience or qualifications, the Chronicle put this plainly as well:

These are not abstract concepts.

This City has been through tough times before. Assassinations. Terrorist threats. AIDS and COVID. And, of course, earthquakes. 

Because of Mayor Breed’s battle-tested, proven leadership, San Francisco is on the rise, and she is prepared for any crisis we may face.  

Don’t gamble our city’s future on a risky, untested candidate who has never faced or managed a crisis. Who has never faced a tough decision. The Mayor’s Office is no place for on-the-job training. Real lives hang in the balance.

As the Chronicle unequivocally states: “Breed is the safe pick.”

Join our campaign today. Let’s keep our city safe.
