Facing a possible loss to mayoral candidate London Breed, in May Leno created an alliance with another candidate for mayor, Jane Kim, also a progressive. Both asked people in San Francisco to vote one and two for them, taking advantage of the ranked choice voting system and hoping to keep Breed from winning.
