I'm running for Mayor for my family & for families across San Francisco.
Over the past 5 years, I’ve watched our beloved City crumble.
I have a clear vision for a safer, cleaner, & more vibrant San Francisco.
Join our campaign today:

We can't depend on the current administration to lead the way towards
#equalpay
, so it's up to cities/states to close the gender pay gap.
The White House gender pay gap has *more than tripled* under Trump

As Mayor, I will:
- mandate performance-based contracts for all nonprofits
- immediately audit our homelessness & community health & welfare budgets
- hold corrupt actors accountable
There's no excuse for this amount of corruption & waste to persist.

"Farrell’s specific proposals include:
- A zero-tolerance approach for all crime
- Clearing all tent encampments
- Shifting from a housing-first to a shelter-first approach
- Creating incentives for businesses that bring workers back downtown"

This is a gut punch & scary news for San Francisco.
We can’t afford another 4 years of failed leadership.
As Mayor, I will be aggressive & proactive in providing clean & safe streets, so that we make our downtown & City more welcoming for residents, businesses, & visitors.
The news of the Macy's closure comes at a politically sensitive time for Mayor London Breed, following a new poll commissioned by the Chronicle that shows Breed is at serious risk of losing reelection.

Mayor Breed should be embarrassed to promote this.
Anyone in SF can tell over the past 5-yrs that we have become a magnet for drug tourism because of our haphazard approach.
This happened on her watch + took an election yr for her to notice. More failed leadership.
Enforcing laws against public drug use is part of our strategy to shut down open air drug markets.
New data from those arrests – only 53% identify as SF residents & some from out of town are submitting false claims to access city funding. We need treatment and accountability.

I am the only candidate that called for auditing the City's homelessness spending + contracts on Day 1.
It shouldn't have taken years for the City to put corrective actions in place. Taxpayers & the homeless that went unserved deserve better.

After months of preparation, Aaron Peskin "launched" his campaign today w/ no new detailed policy solutions or vision for a stronger SF.
How can voters trust Peskin to turn our City around when he has been nonexistent on the City's top issues & is offering nothing new?

Congrats to the

San Francisco can't afford another four years of sluggish recovery.
As Mayor, I will offer new incentives to businesses who require their employees back in the office at least 4 days a week + focus on providing clean & safe streets.

“Peskin is abusive, toxic, and a documented obstructionist to the progress San Francisco needs to make to get back on track,” Farrell said, adding that the board president has not been helpful in addressing public safety, housing or the local economy."
🚨BREAKING: Aaron Peskin will hold a rally Saturday in Chinatown to announce his run for mayor of San Francisco, according to multiple sources.
One of Peskin's staffers also helped file the permit to reserve Portsmouth Square.

Public safety will be my

I announced detailed polices today to address our officer staffing shortage + public safety crisis.

Here are the facts:
- SFPD is down over 500+ officers on her watch
- Her budget 2 years ago cut $120M from SFPD
- Her last cadet class was 19 & several quit after the first week
- When I was Mayor + Budget Chair, we averaged 50+ cadets a class over five years
Our work to strengthen recruiting is paying off - we've increased pay, streamlined testing and hiring, expanded outreach & we have the largest academy class since the pandemic. This is great progress on our road to full staffing & we’ll continue this work.

Actually, I am being the candidate who is direct & honest with San Franciscans about the stark realities we face.
I am committed to launching a 24/7 centralized intake center, rapidly expanding our shelter system, getting people connected to services, & tents off our streets.
"We will never have enough money to build permanent affordable housing for everyone who is homeless...There will never be enough tax dollars to support that..."

Actions speak louder than words. Compare our records for yourself.

Here are the facts
@LondonBreed
:
- you lost control of the Police Commission
- I can appoint & work with an interim Chief
- I won't use the Police Commission as an excuse to why we can't do things
We need a Mayor who doesn't make excuses. Time to act bolder & think bigger.
“We’ll be just like Oakland.” Sharp words from

Other cities were much earlier & aggressive in planning + working with the business community to protect jobs & help small biz.
We can't afford four more years of failed leadership.

I don’t believe that it’s progressive or compassionate to allow a record number of overdose deaths on our streets every single year.
I am the only candidate willing to take aggressive and bold actions to treat our fentanyl crisis like the dire emergency that it is.

"the poll found that former mayor and supervisor Mark Farrell — who officially announced his candidacy the day before polling began — would have the most support in the first round of ranked-choice voting"

The time for "talk" was prior to Mayor Breed/Peskin being caught off guard about Macy's announcement.
Why were they not aware an iconic flagship was considering leaving?
I will be a Mayor that is proactive, not reactive.
San Franciscans want leadership + results, not "talk."

I love San Francisco. But, we do ourselves a disservice when we try to mask over the realities of the challenges we face.
Exhibit A: Residents & businesses shouldn't have to install a fence because of the City's failure to deter/stop illegal behavior.

I am the only candidate with private sector experience and that matters given the state of our local economy.

"We simply need to be more aggressive," argued Farrell. "There are parameters and exceptions in the court ruling that today allow for removal of these tent encampments. We need an aggressive and determined approach from City Hall to get it done."

“Bottom line, children deserve a safe environment to learn, and I don’t believe that someone needs to be walking through public safety issues or tent encampments on their way to kindergarten,” Farrell said.

Fentanyl is the most deadly drug we have seen, and it is time for new and bold approaches to save lives.

Public safety is the
#1
concern to voters citywide.
Yet, Mayor
@LondonBreed
directed her departments to provide 10% cuts for this year.
Plain and simple: this is a terrible decision.
Our public safety should not be put in jeopardy because of her poor fiscal management.
32
19

Another example of Mayor Breed's failed leadership.
The residents & businesses in the TL deserve clean & safe streets.
I will be aggressive & bold in clearing tent encampments, holding dealers accountable, & getting people the help they need.

One of my top priorities is to make SF the best city in the world to raise a family.

1) improve 3rd grade literacy
2) make MUNI free for all youth
3) create clean + safe learning environments

Homeward Bound is one of the most cost-effective homelessness programs we have.
I quadrupled the program's budget as Budget Chair & Mayor.
Mayor Breed let the program wither to a shell of its former self, serving nearly three times fewer people.

The decision to deny the victim justice was not made in the interest of promoting public safety for all.
We need to call out violent behavior and actions that can make our communities less safe.
Every day our prosecutors go into court + fight for justice & public safety. Yet, almost daily they are met w/ staunch resistance within the courthouse. Not only was this victim denied justice, but all San Franciscans were left less safe today due to this reckless decision.

Our children's safety is my top priority.

schools:
- the installation of new PA systems
- doors that can lock from the inside
There is no justification for the City's failure to fully fund this already.

142
Our support is rooted in San Francisco:
- We received donations from all 11 Supervisorial districts
- Over 70% of all donations are from San Franciscans
- We confirmed 85 house parties for the coming weeks/months
But, we can't let up. Get involved:
Mark Farrell’s run for San Francisco mayor started with a bang by raising $200,000 in just two days, according to his campaign. That sum puts San Francisco on track to shatter the record for money spent on a mayor’s race.

We must also:
- audit all funds that have been collected & allocated for homelessness, like 2018 Prop C funds. & provide the public a full transparent report on how they have been spent (or more importantly, whether they have been spent at all)

San Francisco has not updated our overdose prevention plan since 2022....let that sink in.
