                           HON. NANCY PELOSI

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 9, 2025

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rose to congratulate Daniel Lurie, the 
46th Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco. Daniel Lurie is an 
innovative, empathic leader elected with a call to service, change and 
accountability.
  Although he is San Francisco's first mayor since 1911 to win office 
without previously serving in government, Daniel Lurie is well known 
for his innovative approach to solving entrenched issues and delivering 
results for San Francisco. As the founder of Tipping Point Community, 
Mayor Lurie launched the Bay Area's largest anti-poverty organization, 
directing over $500 million toward solutions for housing, job creation, 
and essential services. Under Mayor Lurie's leadership, Tipping Point 
spearheaded construction of a first-of-its-kind affordable housing 
building at 833 Bryant Street, a project that came in on time and under 
budget with good-paying union labor. Mayor Lurie also led the bid to 
bring Super Bowl 50 to the Bay Area in 2016, making it the most 
philanthropic Super Bowl in NFL history, and founded The Civic Joy Fund 
in 2023, bringing more art, music, and enthusiasm to our city streets.
  Throughout his career, Mayor Lurie has set new standards for impact 
and partnership, including innovative public-private collaborations 
that uplift communities. Mayor Lurie's priorities include ensuring 
safety and vibrancy in all neighborhoods, as well as economic growth. 
He is entering City Hall effective from the start having just 
negotiated a hotel strike settlement with higher wages for our union 
workers and stability for our vibrant hospitality industry.
  Born and raised in San Francisco, Mayor Lurie lives in the City with 
his wife, Becca Prowda, and their two young children.
  I congratulate Daniel Lurie, his mother Mimi Haas, his father Rabbi 
Brian Lurie, and their entire family, and look forward to working with 
Mayor Lurie toward a thriving San Francisco for all.
