The 2024 campaign season is underway, and the race for mayor of San Francisco is heating up. One of the challengers to Mayor London Breed just announced that he’s raised an impressive amount of money in a very short time, as he tries to unseat the incumbent mayor. That candidate is Daniel Lurie, founder of the nonprofit anti-poverty organization Tipping Point and a member of the Haas family, who entered the race last fall and has already racked up more than half a million dollars in campaign contributions, more than either Mayor Breed or the other candidates in the race have reported raising. Lurie has never held political office but he has an impressive record in philanthropy and various civic duties.
KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern and KCBS news anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart spoke with Daniel Lurie in today's edition of The State of California.
