<p>Mayor London Breed is the 45th Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco and the first African-American woman Mayor in the City’s history.</p>

<p>Mayor Breed is working to create a more equitable and just San Francisco for all. Since February 2020, she has led San Francisco’s response to COVID-19, with a focus on slowing the spread of the virus and protecting the health of the most vulnerable. Her early and decisive actions to issue a Stay Home Order in mid-March have been credited with controlling the spread of COVID-19 in San Francisco, preventing the health care system from becoming overwhelmed, and saving lives. Under her leadership, the City has developed a network of COVID-19 vaccination sites with the capacity to vaccinate at least 20,000 people per day and is working to deliver vaccines as quickly and equitable as possible.</p>

<p>In addition to leading the City’s COVID-19 emergency response, Mayor Breed is looking ahead to San Francisco’s recovery from COVID-19. She convened an Economic Recovery Task Force to guide the City’s efforts to sustain and recover local businesses and employment, and mitigate the economic hardships that are affecting San Franciscans.</p>
