Luo Wei distributes Halloween candies and goes all out to win votes to become a Jinshan changemaker
Daniel Lurie, the leading candidate for mayor of San Francisco, spent October 26 handing out Halloween candies in Chinatown. He emphasized that during his visits to Chinatown, the Sunset District, and Asian Pacific communities, he discovered a strong desire for change and a demand for responsible new leadership. “My opponents have not met these needs,” he stated. “We will bring change on November 5.”
With recent polls showing him in the lead, along with an endorsement from the San Francisco Chronicle, Lurie’s campaign momentum is strong. However, he remains focused and determined not to take anything for granted. Over the two-day period from October 25 to 26, he participated in 11 events, working harder than ever to secure every vote. “The biggest challenge is not having enough time in a day. Everyone is up early and working hard, but we find joy in seeing the best of this city. The challenge lies in our desire to meet as many people as possible.”
Responding to City Council President Katie Tang’s accusations regarding billionaires attempting to seize control of the city, Lurie asserted that San Francisco voters are among the most informed in the country. “They’ve been researching candidates and making their own decisions,” he asserted. “We have worked incredibly hard over the past 13 months, traveling to every corner of the city and hosting 240 meet-and-greets and house parties. We never take anything for granted, and we hope voters choose someone who will bring change and responsible leadership to city hall.”
Lurie noted that in his conversations with residents in Chinatown and the Asian community, the primary concerns revolve around whether seniors feel safe walking the streets and riding public transportation, as well as whether small businesses can operate securely. Public safety is a top priority for him, and he plans to ensure adequate staffing for the police department, sheriff’s office, and 911 dispatch center. “In Chinatown, the Sunset District, and Asian Pacific communities, there is a strong desire for change and for responsible new leadership,” he reiterated. “People have underestimated our campaign. Insiders at city hall have underestimated the Asian and Chinese communities’ desire for change. They want public safety, affordable housing, and good public schools, which my opponents have not delivered. We will bring change on election day, November 5.”
