"I've run for supervisor five times, and I've never lost. I love this city, and it's my community. And I actually think I have a lot to offer it as mayor. I want to make this town more affordable. I want to make it safer. I want to make it a more livable home for all of us," Peskin said in a live interview with ABC News Anchor Kristen Sze.

KRISTEN SZE: "So why now, at this juncture?"
