Lurie, a local philanthropist and founder of an anti-poverty charity, will challenge incumbent London Breed in a pivotal election for a city battling multiple challenges, from downtown business closures, to homelessness and drug use on the streets, and a surge in robberies. Lurie’s bid is an unusual move in a city where many mayors have risen through the political ranks and used the office as a stepping stone to higher positions, such as Senator Dianne Feinstein and California Governor Gavin Newsom. But observers say the city’s current litany of problems could create an opening for Lurie, a candidate who has never held office but comes from a prominent San Francisco family.
Lurie is the son of Rabbi Brian Lurie, who ran the Jewish Community Federation, and Miriam “Mimi” Haas, who divorced when he was young. His mother remarried philanthropist and Levi Strauss heir Peter Haas, who died in 2005. The extended family has a stake in the jeans-maker valued at more than $2.7 billion, according to company filings. Mimi Haas has the largest individual stake in the business, with an 11% interest worth about $570 million. Daniel Lurie isn’t listed by name as a shareholder.
