We were deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Mayor Ed Lee. He was a true San Franciscan who devoted his life to serving our great city and to supporting those most in need. He was the Giants' number one fan (con’d) pic.twitter.com/G2a3dHXmzV

I was sworn in to the Board of Supervisors just a few days before Ed Lee became Mayor. We worked together closely for the past 7 years. He was a decent human being who was deeply committed to our city. He made history for our Chinese community. I’m floored that he’s gone.
