Meet London Breed the very first African-American woman to be elected the Mayor of San Francisco. Breed won the election race Wednesday more than a week after election day when her opponent former state Senator Mark Leno surrendered after it was reported that Breed was ahead in the reace by more than 2100 votes (which is almost one percent of the total vote).

London Breed is set to take office next month and serve as Mayor until 2020. She will finish up the term of the city's late Mayor Ed Lee who died late last year at the age of 65.
