Storm clouds are gathering at San Francisco City Hall as 2024 brings with it two momentous elections.

Mayor London Breed faces uncertainty as dissatisfaction with City Hall opens the door for challengers, including Supervisor Ahsha Safaí and philanthropist Daniel Lurie.

Political insiders are grasping for alternatives, such as Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin or former Mayor Mark Farrell.
