The race for Mayor of San Francisco is getting even more crowded, with a new hat in the ring today. That’s because former Mayor Mark Farrell announced that he is running against Mayor London Breed, seeking to win back the job he held for a few months after the death of Mayor Ed Lee.

Mark Farrell served as Mayor for five months back in 2018, after almost two full terms on the Board of Supervisors. He did not run to finish the rest of Lee’s term as Mayor in the special election that year, which was won by Breed, who then won a full term in 2019.

But now Farrell is going to run, which means there are four moderate Democrats in this year’s race for Mayor. For more, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart, Patti Reising, and Doug Sovern spoke with former Mayor Mark Farrell.
