2019 San Francisco mayoral election
London Breed was elected Mayor of San Francisco in a 2018 special election to serve until 2020, filling the unexpired term of Ed Lee, who was elected in 2011 and 2015, and died in office on December 12, 2017. Breed confirmed that she intends to run for re-election to a first full term in office in 2019.

Phil Kim, a charter school administrator and former teacher, took third place, followed by Michelle Parker who was endorsed by London Breed. Given that board member Matt Haney won his election for the Board of Supervisors, Mayor Breed will appoint someone to fill his seat. It is unclear as to whether she will select Kim for his 4th place showing, Parker whom she endorsed, or current board member Emily Murase. On November 14, 2018, the Bay Area Reporter published an editorial pushing for Mayor Breed to appoint Mia Satya to the open seat, offering a fourth option.
