Today, I cast my ballot on local propositions and races, participating in the great American tradition of helping shape the future of my community and country. I encourage all San Franciscans to join me by getting out and voting today.

It has been my greatest honor to serve the past five months as the Mayor of San Francisco—the city where I was born and raised and truly love. I want to thank the Board of Supervisors, City departments and our residents for working closely with me on the most pressing issues facing San Francisco today.

I look forward to working closely and collaboratively with the Mayor-elect to ensure the continuity of government and a smooth transition into the next administration. It was my great fortune to have been welcomed so quickly and graciously by everyone in the Mayor’s Office, and I am committed to extending that same courtesy to the next leader of our City.
