"Former SF Mayor Mark Farrell Challenges London Breed in Heated Mayoral Race"

Mark Farrell, the 44th mayor of San Francisco, has announced his campaign to unseat incumbent Mayor London Breed, criticizing her leadership and proposing policy changes focused on public safety, homelessness, and business incentives. He advocates for a "zero-tolerance approach" to crime, clearing tent encampments, shifting to a shelter-first approach for homelessness, and providing tax incentives for businesses. His entry into the race signals potential challenges for Breed, with strategists predicting a contentious election and the possibility of other candidates joining the fray.
