>he's been mayor before and says he's ready for round two. >we need to build more houses, have more >density >>than >>ever this week we're hearing from the candidates to lead san francisco. first up, mark farrell. >it's time for a change. this this. try some new strategies. see if things can get done a lot faster. >plus, his most important job outside of politics. >i'm a dad >for >>period >>today we're kicking off a series of one on one interviews with the candidates for san francisco mayor. this afternoon, it's former interim mayor mark farrell. he's called out mayor london breed, saying she let the city crumble and says he has the experience to get the city back on the right path he'll join us live to talk about his plans in just a few minutes. but first, a look at your news headlines. police body cam video shows the arrest

of the man suspected of pointing a gun at former president trump. the fbi is investigating yesterday's incident in west palm beach, florida, as another apparent assassination attempt. investigators say a secret service agent spotted the gun muzzle peeking through the perimeter tree line and then fired at it >i've had a conversation with the former president you know, we've explained and we've worked with the campaign. the president is aware that he has highest levels of protection that the secret service is providing him. >liz>phone records put the suspect ryan wesley routh in the area for nearly 12 hours, but the feds say he never fired a shot and didn't have a line of sight on trump. the fbi is investigating if he acted alone. new security cameras are coming to san francisco. here's what they look like. each one has a 22 foot mast and a speaker and even strobes. you probably seen them in private parking lots. the city says

they will monitor streets when police aren't around. they'll focus on crimes like drug deals, burglaries and prostitution. the city says the first three cameras arrived last week with more to come frustration for families and educators in san francisco who now have to wait even longer to find out which schools will be closed or merged. sf unified was supposed to release its list last wednesday. now, the superintendent says they'll hold off until sometime next month after they see a fiscal analysis. the district says a budget deficit and declining enrollment are behind the potential school closures. and we are less than 24 hours from the official start of dreamforce in san francisco, 45,000 people are expected to attend the three day event. some streets around moscone center have been closed since last week. the city is expecting a $93 million economic boost from this conference >this is what san francisco does best when we have big

conventions, big events, big activities, we put our best foot forward, and fortunately, we're able to pull together more resources to make sure that we have the capacity. >liz>mayor london breed highlighted the police presence in the area. downtown ambassadors and cleaning efforts that will all be part of dreamforce. all right. on to our weather now. it's a cool and cloudy start to the week, >darren>and >>there's still a chance of some light rain. so a lot of folks coming here thinking it's going to be sunny california coming to dreamforce. and it might be a little drizzly. >darren>yeah, we might see a couple of raindrops, which is great for this time of year because it's wildfire season. so we will take all of the moisture that we can get, and we'll take the cooler air that comes along with it as well, because we're definitely feeling below average all across the bay area. we're looking at our temperatures. you can see definitely cooler down across our coastal communities and up on the mountains. right now we're seeing those temperatures anywhere from upper 60s to our coastal communities to the upper 70s. maybe i don't think

actually there is a single place in the upper 70s right now we're in the mid to lower 70s, upper 60s, if not 50s in places like mount tam. so we're all feeling chillier. definitely not feeling like summertime. it kind of feels like sweater weather out there as a storm system is making its way all across the bay area. that storm system has brought us a big cooldown today, and you could see that storm system swirling across northern california it's bringing a majority of the moisture well off to our north and out east, but it is still going to be bringing us better potential of those clouds and those cooler temperatures. and something that's also really interesting is the snow that it brought the sierra nevada. they had their first winter weather advisory of the season, brought up to four inches above 8000ft. but for us in the bay area, not too much to talk about tonight. however, like we said earlier, there is better chances for rain on the way as a secondary storm system will be making its way down across the bay area. kind of depends on where you're located though how much you'll be impacted by the secondary storm system what we do know

for sure, though, is we are expecting more clouds to arrive overnight tonight. there should be a good amount of sunshine across the inland areas throughout this afternoon and evening, but this marine layer is going to push further inland overnight. tonight we're likely going to be seeing quite a lot of fog. this is going to be our view waking up very early tomorrow morning, where majority of us are going to see either fog or upper level cloud cover that that is likely going to continue throughout a majority of the overnight hours. and by tomorrow afternoon most of that fog will peel back. there should be a good amount of sunshine for our further inland areas, but this is going to be peak daytime tomorrow. look at how much cloud coverage is going to be sitting closer to our coastal communities especially. it's going to keep our temperatures well below average. all across the bay area throughout the day. tomorrow and likely going to stick around throughout the day wednesday, as well as another storm system will be arriving. a12 punch that's going to keep these cloudier and cooler conditions in effect all the way through wednesday. so our next better chance for rain is going to be on

wednesday, which is great news for us, especially along our coastal communities. this is a look at what our radar could potentially look like from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. wednesday. might see a little bit of drizzle down near our coastal communities, but the better chance for potentially seeing a bit more heavy rainfall north bay communities might see a line of rain arriving wednesday afternoon, maybe a 10th to a hundredth of an inch. it's not going to be anything crazy impressive, but the fact that we have activity on our radar in this time of year is fantastic news we will take any of the moisture we can get. again, it's not going to be anything too crazy, too heavy, or too abundant but we will take a 10th to a hundredth of an inch where we can get it. the most abundant of that moisture will be along our coastal communities, but even areas inland are going to feel nice and cool and comfortable. cloud coverage sticking around temperatures. staying in the 70s all the way through the later parts of the week before you notice another heat wave is going to move in by the time we step out next weekend. so let's enjoy the cooler, quieter, and more comfortable conditions

that we'll be seeing all the way through wednesday. by thursday, that's kind of the transition day that temperatures will begin to warm up more drier air will move in, and even our coastal communities will be seeing those temperatures return to the 70s by next weekend. but cooler cloudier and more moist weather will stick around all the way through wednesday. liz, back to you >liz>we are 50 days out from the election and san francisco voters have a big decision to make. do they give mayor breed more time or put someone else in charge of city hall? so here's a look at the top candidates all week. we'll be asking them why you should give them your vote we start today with former interim mayor mark farrell. he was raised in san francisco and our lauren toms caught up with him at his old high school a few days ago to talk about what's motivating him in this race >brewer >>ready for some football it's not just election season

for mayoral candidate mark farrell, but almost as important. it's also the start of football season. so we are headed out to signatious in the sunset where our son jack is going to be a junior this year and he's playing on the football team. look, regardless of the sport, the point is for us as parents is to be super engaged with our kids. and you know, sports is a big way to do that. certainly if you have the ability and the time to coach, this is a drive. mark and his wife liz have made hundreds of times from their home to saint ignatius. we're not only his kids go to school, but he went to high school. i'm a dad. first period, and if you ask me, what's the most important thing i do in life? what's the thing i enjoying doing the most in life? it's being a dad stepping back onto his old stomping grounds, he's reminded of his time playing football on the very field. he watches his son jack play today. playing on the field that i played on and going to some of the same classrooms absolutely. it's bizarre.

you know, honestly, it's just a source of pride in our kids that they're they're doing their own things they're much better athletes than i ever was without a doubt. probably got it from their mom. sports and parenting go hand in hand in the feral house coaching his kids both on and off the field, and for mark, those lessons can be seen in his schools as candidate for mayor if we're going to bring our city back, if we're going to restore all the things and fix all the things that are our issues right now, we have to be honest about where we sit to really have a sustained path forward, and leadership is a big part of that and taking that from the athletic field, to city hall, it's a very natural extension. it's an extension. he has made before his interim mayor in 2017. and after eight years of watching from the sidelines, he's hoping to get back into the political field. but for mark, it's his family, he says that's brought him this far. that a family you know, is such a big part of our lives and a big part of my life. and like i said, nobody's perfect. our

children aren't. i'm not but really proud of who they are as human beings more than anything else and again, if that's the one thing i do in life, it's helped be a great parent to our kids. that's that's life. well lived. using that motivation to get across the finish line this fall >liz>so how would farrell tackle the challenges facing san francisco coming up from crime to the drug crisis, homelessness revitalizing downtown and public education? he'll

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco. >>all week long we're giving the top five candidates for san francisco mayor a chance to make their case to voters. our guest today is mark farrell, a native of san francisco. farrell was elected to the board of supervisors in 2010. he served two terms before leaving office in 2019. he was

the city's interim mayor for six months in 2018. before london, breed was elected to replace ed lee, who died while in office. farrell did not run in that special election, but now he has entered the race and he's joining us live. thanks so much for being here. >thanks for having me. great to be with you. >liz>all right. first question. if you could pick one thing to change in san francisco, what do you think that would be? >look number one, we need to bring back public safety across our city. you know, i'm talking about in our neighborhoods, obviously down in union square in downtown, where a reputation has taken a massive hit over the last few years. first, with that louis vuitton shooting a few years ago. and now, unfortunately, with the 49 ers shooting yet again in broad daylight a few weeks ago public safety has to be the number one job of government. it's what i focused on when i was in city hall before mayor breed is completely failed. the residents of our city over the last six years, and we need someone who's going to bring it back so that not only residents, but small business

owners and visitors to san francisco are safe in our own city and we can grow from there. >liz>public safety obviously a very hot topic throughout this whole election for all the candidates. it's important to note, though, that crime numbers so far are down across the city but it still has that reputation across the bay area and across the country, for that matter. as being a dangerous city. how do you change that public perception >well, you have a dedicated focus to public safety from day one in office. again, that's what i did when i was in office before in city hall, when i was budget chair and partnered with mayor lee. and then when i became mayor, we grew our police department to record staffing levels. and since then, mayor breed has led over 600 officers leave the workforce so we're completely depleted as a police force right now in san francisco, i believe we need a new police chief. mayor breed defunded the police department three years ago. i'm going to fully refund our police department and then bring our staffing levels back up so that we have enough officers in the streets, in our

neighborhoods to protect us every single day. as san franciscans, >liz>all right. i've lived in san francisco for about 13 years. i'm also a mom. i've got two little boys and one area that, from a parent's perspective, honestly, that hasn't really been the focus of these debates or really any candidate's campaign is public education there's an enrollment problem. there's a teacher shortage problem, test score problem and we're surrounded by two of the best universities in the world. and the people who live here are also very educated. why has it gotten so bad? and what are you going to do to fix it >well, look, historically, city hall has been very divorced from our public school system because there's a separately elected school board which runs all of the policies and all of the budget for a school district however, i want to be the most proactive mayor in our city's history, focusing on children. and from my perspective that comes from being born and raised in san francisco. but also raising three children here, three things will do. going to make third grade reading proficiency one of the number one issues

that we will fund out of city hall and our department of early childhood for our public school families. second mandate that our mta work with our public school district to make sure that the bus routes and bus frequency, especially in the morning, is there to support our families social contract with public school families. if you get your kid to the bus stop on time in the morning, we will get them to school in the morning. and lastly, around public safety. you know, the the school district cut ties with our police department during covid. i disagreed with that. however outside of school grounds, i still talk with so many families that encounter encampments and street behavior as their child's going into school grounds. i've committed to a priority 311 number next year. any street behavior issue in a one block radius of our public schools will get knocked out in 24 hours. and that's just the beginning because if we want san francisco to be this iconic city in the world that we all believe it is, we need to have a great public school system. >liz>yeah and i wonder if this also points to a bigger issue with prioritizing families here

in san francisco and supporting that next generation of san franciscans. so many families i know will live here until they have kids, and then they leave because it's too expensive and they want better schools, child care options, something more affordable. how do you make san francisco a place where people want to stay for the long haul and a place where their kids want to stay and raise their families? i >love that question so a few things. number one, universal child care. i've been very public about my plans to make that a reality starting next year. the honest answer is we've been collecting taxes for years under prop c, but this mayor has not allocated it towards universal child care. i will do it next year. but also we just need to have that dialog back in city hall about what it's like to raise a child in san francisco what it's like to be a kid here. you know, when i was a supervisor before we had outdoor movie night in the presidio because i represented district two, you know, once a month, literally brought out the food trucks, the big screen tvs put on the disney movies, had a thousand people a month come a great

chance to build community. and when it got cold and wet, because we're san francisco, we partner with the ymca and the presidio and brought it indoors to the gym. they were such amazing partners, such a small step, but so cheap, so easy to do. we should be doing that in every neighborhood in san francisco every single month programs like that, to really focus on families and family life in our city, what it's like to be a kid again, using every ounce of open space in san francisco that we can, to me, that's a priority in city hall as well. >liz>all right. i want to switch gears and talk about downtown really still struggling with empty office buildings, empty storefronts. how are you going to make downtown san francisco more vibrant hub for the bay area and convince businesses to bring their workers back? if you do indeed think that that's the secret to bringing back bringing back a vibrant downtown, >absolutely. i do. so first and foremost, we focus on public safety and clean streets. and by that i mean our homeless and the encampments and the fentanyl crisis that is really disrupting our city right now.

we do that all of a sudden. we create an environment where employers might want to come back to san francisco. and i saw that clip we can put on apec, we can put on dreamforce and thank goodness we're doing that. we should have those conditions on our streets every single day. it's not an excuse just because a convention comes to town that we need to have clean streets and safe streets, we need to do that every day for san francisco residents. i do believe then we need to use tax incentives to get employers back to the downtown and south of market core. we did it in the mid 20 tens and the mid market area under mayor lee's leadership. i supported it a great deal in the board of supervisors. we can do it again downtown and then we need to focus on the long term conversion from commercial to residential in the downtown core. the reality is, with the amount of office space we have it's going to take a long, long time to get all the employers back to eat up all that square footage of office space. so we have to think bigger and bolder than city hall is talking about today allow class b, class c buildings downtown to demo

massively upzone this part of san francisco already a really dense environment and then commit to tax increment vehicles that will allow developers to actually have these projects pencil out. today we can get people back to work and build for the future of san francisco at the same time, and i believe point towards a vision of san francisco that's really exciting. you know downtown is a little bit scary right now. if we're being honest and not vibrant at all. to your point. but let's not waste the opportunity to build for the future and a future again. we can all get incredibly excited about. >liz>yeah. where do you see the city in the next five years or so realistically, where do you see that looking like? >i talk about it all the time. why i'm running for mayor is to turn the page on mayor breed's failed leadership and write the next chapter of san francisco that we can all believe in. and for me, my vision of san francisco is a city that is safe a city with clean sidewalks, a city with a thriving economy growing

neighborhoods and small businesses, and our commercial corridors and as we talked about earlier, finally, again, a focus on families. that to me is a vision for san francisco that everybody can get excited about. and what we need is a mayor who's going to be a true leader articulate a vision for san francisco obviously have success, make progress towards that vision. then everybody in our city is rowing on the same war. all of a sudden we have safety back. we have clean streets back, all of a sudden our economy is humming again. and then san francisco can fulfill that promise that we again believe it to be this iconic city in the world >liz>all right. mark farrell, thank you so much for being here. >thanks for having me. >liz>and again, we'll be talking with san francisco, san francisco's mayoral candidates all week long tomorrow our guest will be incumbent mayor london breed and we'll be right back
