Breed was educated at Galileo High School, where she played in the school band and was in the school government. She went on to attend the University of California, Davis, earning her bachelor’s degree in 1997. Breed later went to the University of San Francisco, from which she obtained her master’s degree in public administration in 2012.
Career Beginnings
When she was 14, Breed did a paid internship at the Family School. Later, she interned for San Francisco mayor Willie Brown in the Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services. In 2002, Breed was named the executive director of the African American Art & Culture Complex, which she helped renovate through major fundraising. A couple years later, she was selected to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency Commission. In 2010, Breed was named to the San Francisco Fire Commission.

Mayor of San Francisco
As president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Breed became the acting mayor of San Francisco upon the death of mayor Ed Lee in late 2017. She served in that role until early 2018, and then became the interim mayor of San Francisco. In the special election held in June, Breed defeated Mark Leno to become mayor of San Francisco; she was elected to a full term in 2019. During her mayoralty, which lasted until 2025, Breed focused on such areas as public safety, public transit, affordable housing, and environmental protection. She worked to crack down on drug markets and substance abuse, particularly related to the opioid epidemic, and helped bring San Francisco to its lowest crime rate in a decade. In terms of public transit, Breed significantly increased the pace of bus lane rollout and helped create several bus rapid transit routes. In 2020, she facilitated the creation of the Slow Streets Program, which successfully decreased vehicle speeds and collisions.
As mayor, Breed helped give shelter to around 10,000 houseless individuals, resulting in San Francisco’s lowest street houselessness rate in a decade. Breed also managed San Francisco’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, making the city one of the first in the United States to enter lockdown. However, she later caused some controversy when she was seen not wearing a mask. Among her other notable initiatives as mayor, Breed was instrumental in the launch of CleanPowerSF, San Francisco’s clean electrical energy program. Other environmental protection initiatives included a ban on the sale and use of polystyrene foam products, the creation of a drug take-back program to decrease drug pollution, and the launch of the Poop Patrol to clean up waste on city streets. Breed ran for a second term as mayor in 2024, facing a deep bench of candidates. Ultimately, she lost to Democrat Daniel Lurie.
Personal Life
Breed resides in the Lower Haight area of San Francisco. In early 2020, she was named an “A-List Eligible” by the Nob Hill Gazette, which called her “quite possibly the City’s hardest-working bachelorette.”
