I’m guest hosting today’s Your Call, when we’ll start with a debrief on San Francisco’s election results with the reporting team of Mission Local – and look ahead to 2025.

Daniel Lurie assumes office as San Francisco’s 46th mayor on Jan. 8. He’ll arrive to find a $867 million budget deficit on his doorstep. And that could spike to $1 billion if Trump decides to withhold federal funds promised to the city.

Lurie beat out incumbent mayoral candidate London Breed by 10 percentage points in the second round of ranked choice voting. The new mayor-elect and Levi Strauss heir’s campaign was largely self-funded, and this will be his first time ever holding political office. So what glimpses has he shown the public so far of how he will govern?

Joining us will be Joe Eskenazi, managing editor for Mission Local, and Kelly Waldron, reporter at Mission Local.

Then later in the show, we’ll talk about about rising hunger and a drop in donations to Bay Area food banks. The leaders of 5 major food banks — San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, Redwood Empire Food Bank and Alameda County Community Food Bank — held a joint press conference last week. Together, those organizations provided enough food for 270-million meals last year.

We’ll discuss with Lauren Lathan Reid, CEO of the California Association of Food Banks, and Liz Gomez, chief impact officer at the Alameda County Community Food Bank, and 2023 Bay Area Jefferson Award winner.
