Levi's heir burns millions on SF mayoral bid -- but donors shy away

Nonprofit founder and Levi-Strauss heir Daniel Lurie has cut a series of six and seven-figure checks for his mayoral campaign, making full use of his family’s jean empire as he pitches himself as a City Hall outsider.

But the big bucks Lurie has funneled toward his bid contrast starkly with the amount he has received from donors lately.

Between July 1 and Sept. 21 — the latest fundraising benchmark through required financial disclosure forms — Lurie collected $69,458 from donors.

That was far less than his main opponents, Mayor London Breed, former interim Mayor Mark Farrell, and Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin.

We had a businessman with no legislative experience in the whitehouse and how’d that work out?
And don’t get me started on Farrell.

I plan on voting for Peskin, Breed and Ahsha Safaí in the ranked choice and then Breed, Safari and Peskin and then Safari, Peskin and Breed.
