Analysis: City Hall 'outsider' Lurie attempts rare feat in American politics
His opponents scoff at him.
How could a novice, a rookie, think he can waltz into San Francisco City Hall and manage a nearly $16 billion operation with more than 20,000 employees?
But that’s exactly Daniel Lurie’s campaign pitch, and if he’s successful, he’d be accomplishing a rare feat in American politics.
Lurie, an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune and founder of anti-poverty nonprofit Tipping Point, has built his entire candidacy around his utter lack of experience working inside city government, and his record as a nonprofit leader outside of it.
