Interim Mayor Ed Lee Elected to Full Term In San Francisco
Ed Lee, First Asian-American Mayor of San Franciso, Wins Big
Final numbers are in, and voters of San Francisco have shown overwhelming support for current interim Mayor Ed Lee, elected to his first official term. The first Asian-American to be elected mayor in San Francisco history, he walked away with 61 percent of the vote in San Francisco’s “instant runoff” voting system, the closest competition being more than 25 points behind.
AKPD produced the media for San Franciscans for Jobs and Good Government, an Independent Expenditure campaign supporting Interim Mayor Ed Lee’s campaign for Mayor of San Francisco.
“We were proud to support Mayor Lee’s campaign for a full term, based on his strong record of job-creation, balanced budgets and pension reform,” said John Kupper, AKPD Senior Partner. He noted that this was the firm’s third IE campaign in California in the past year, including work in support of Governor Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris.
