After the results of San Francisco mayor’s election, DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement:

“I’d like to congratulate London Breed on her historic victory as San Francisco’s next mayor. As the first African American woman to be elected to the office, Mayor-elect Breed will be a steadfast champion for the thousands of hardworking San Francisco families she’ll represent. From strengthening San Francisco’s schools and transportation system to combating homelessness and creating good-paying jobs for every San Franciscan, Mayor-elect Breed is ready to get to work on day one.”

“San Francisco lost a brilliant leader in Ed Lee last year, but I’m confident Mayor-elect Breed will carry on his legacy of public service and work every single day to improve the lives of San Franciscans.”
