San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie is bringing on big names to help transition City Hall leadership, ranging from OpenAI founder Sam Altman to former Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs. A political newcomer who ran against what he called “City Hall insiders,” Lurie’s win marked a shift for San Francisco leadership. The nonprofit founder and Levi Strauss heir was the only leading candidate with no government experience and campaigned on rooting out corruption and citywide issues like public safety, affordability and homelessness. “I’m excited to introduce this talented and diverse team who will help guide our transition and lay the groundwork for the change San Franciscans demand,” Mayor-elect Lurie said in a statement. “Every one of these incredible leaders brings a track record of shaking up the status quo to deliver results.”
