That debate would have been hosted by TogetherSF Action until Breed and Peskin questioned its independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a novel election, as incumbent mayors are not usually challenged.

The candidates have all taken turns alleging Lurie is unequipped to be mayor because he’s never held public office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lurie’s messaging during the forum previewed what he may say on the campaign trail to rebut those claims. Jim Ross, a political consultant who ran Gov. Gavin Newsom’s successful 2003 campaign for mayor, said every campaign has a question to answer, almost like a central thesis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lurie’s obvious question he has to answer is basically, ‘Is being rich enough of a qualification to be mayor?’” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Farrell, ethics laws bar certain types of cooperation between such groups. That firewall forms the backbone of campaign finance law that allows independent political groups to fundraise in any amount to support multiple candidates, as opposed to candidate-controlled campaigns, which can only accept a maximum donation of $500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ross said TogetherSF mishandled its bad press, saying that a statement backing Farrell might have eased off some of the scrutiny the group has come under.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because they kind of are trying to seem neutral or hide it and come off as independent, it’s making it a story,” Ross said. “It’s not the scandal, it’s the cover-up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Other candidates in the hot seat:\u003c/strong> Lurie and Farrell weren’t the only ones questioned on controversial topics by Kwong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kwong told Breed that progressive Democrats bristle at her support for police and her relatively silent treatment around the need for police reform after the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis officer. Breed disagreed with Kwong’s characterization but ultimately doubled down on supporting police and public safety. Audience members shouted slogans against the police department during the discussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hollering ‘defund the police,’” Breed said, “but let something happen to you, and you’re calling 911 and wondering why the police didn’t get there. I get that people have issues and concerns, and they’re not perfect, but I’ve worked really hard to build those bridges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kwong said Peskin’s critics have characterized him as a NIMBY and dislike that he blocks housing in his home neighborhood, North Beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can grow San Francisco without destroying our neighborhoods,” Peskin said, who cited his work to build 10,000 housing units in the Mission, South of Market and Central Waterfront \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11979849/peskins-rumored-mayor-run-has-same-strength-and-weakness-housing\">as part of the Eastern Neighborhoods Plan\u003c/a>, among other efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safai was challenged on his progressive bonafides.
