Aaron Peskin has entered San Francisco's competitive mayoral race, ready to unseat London Breed in November.
San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin speaks during a board meeting in San Francisco, Jan. 9, 2024.
Even though the 59-year-old challenger agrees with other candidates that the city’s Police Department needs more officers, he is advocating new recruits from local colleges. He also agrees that anyone peddling fentanyl, the street-cheap but highly addictive opioid, should be arrested and thrown in jail. But that’s where his similarities with the other candidates end.
“I’ve been in recovery for three years and know how to help the city recover,” he said. “I have very real plans to address homelessness, the fentanyl crisis, and affordable housing needs.” Last month, he was behind a push to limit dense housing construction near his home in Telegraph Hill, a picturesque upscale enclaveis $1.7 million and rent is $2,568, more than twice the national average. Breed vetoed Peskin’s proposal, but then he rallied and got enough votes to override her veto, marking the first time that has happened during Breed’s administration.He is president of the Board of Supervisors and is currently serving his fifth nonconsecutive term.
