San Francisco Mayor-Elect: I Am a Life-Long Democrat ... We Just Want to Get Back to Common Sense

EXCERPT:

LURIE: "I am a lifelong Democrat, but we don‘t think of ourselves as progressives or moderates or conservatives here in San Francisco. We just want to get back to common sense. We have to deliver the basics, and that‘s my plan, that‘s the mandate that I was elected to fulfill. We have to make sure that we have a fully staffed police department. We have to get our behavioral health and drug crisis under control in our city. We need to make sure our small businesses can thrive. Our big businesses need to be coming back to San Francisco. We need to be open for business again. I don‘t believe that that‘s a rightward swing, that‘s a common sense approach."
