Born in San Francisco in 1977, Lurie\u2019s childhood was marked by his shiny, wide smiles. His father is a rabbi, and his mother, Mimi Haas, later remarried to Peter Haas, the great-grandnephew of Levi Strauss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his young-adult years, Lurie moved to New York briefly and then came back to San Francisco and founded Tipping Point Community, a nonprofit that aims to raise big bucks to tackle poverty. He\u2019s married to Becca Prowda, director of protocol for Gov. Gavin Newsom. They have two young kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than a decade, he served as CEO and chairman of the nonprofit. He also chaired the Super Bowl 50 Host Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September 2023, after months of speculation<\/a>, Lurie officially announced his candidacy<\/a> to challenge incumbent mayor London Breed. Despite being a political newcomer, Lurie\u2019s campaign gained momentum, and he was able to overcome the controversy over his lack of experience and his use of self-funding \u2014 nearly $9 million<\/a> \u2014 to boost his profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lurie\u2019s victory in the mayoral race makes him the first City Hall outsider without government experience to hold the office in more than a century. But his job won\u2019t be easy<\/a>, as the city faces a massive deficit and a more conservative federal administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
