"One of SF Mayor Daniel Lurie's political superpowers in his time in office has been his ability to convert London Breed's most faithful suck-ups into diehard Daniel Lurie suck-ups, a feat he achieved almost overnight after being elected. Supervisors Rafael Mandelman and Matt Dorsey, and longtime Breed ally state Senator Scott Wiener, have instantly sworn their swords to House Lurie on nearly all policy matters. And the London Breed appointee, District 2 Supervisor Stephen Sherrill, has pretty much done the same without exception."
"Stephen Sherrill is exactly the kind of leader District 2 needs to continue the progress we are making across San Francisco, Lurie said in a press release announcing the endorsement. We have a shared commitment to making our streets safer, our businesses stronger, and our neighborhoods a place for all families to thrive. I am proud to endorse Stephen for District 2 Supervisor and look forward to continuing our work together delivering real results for our city."
SF Mayor Daniel Lurie endorsed District 2 Supervisor Stephen Sherrill seven months before the June 2026 election. Lurie has converted many of London Breed's allies into his own supporters, including Supervisors Rafael Mandelman, Matt Dorsey, and state Senator Scott Wiener, and Sherrill has aligned closely with Lurie. Lurie and Sherrill share elite backgrounds and political outlooks tied to wealth, Yale, and Bloomberg-era experience. The early endorsement is unusual because Lurie has not endorsed other 2026 candidates and may signal concern about Sherrill's electoral appeal as a New York transplant. The endorsement followed Sherrill's assistance passing Lurie's policy initiatives.
