Mayor Daniel Lurie was elected to lead the city despite having no prior experience in government.

It took more than a century for San Francisco voters to vest the powers of the office again in a political novice.

Lurie says he sees nothing ideological in the vote that brought him to office.

Lurie says he will balance the city’s budget without raising taxes.

The city faces a budget deficit of roughly $800 million .

Housing is a major problem in many cities, but San Francisco lags behind many others in its pace of new housing.

Lurie said he has two mayoral role models: former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg and late Dianne Feinstein.
