Outgoing District 11 Supervisor Ahsha Safaí said he's been getting a second look from some voters after strong showings in televised debates. He's also been a beneficiary of ranked choice strategy from one of the other major candidates.

"I can be in any corner of the city, people come up to me and say, 'Hey, saw you in the debate, I didn't know who you were, but I'm voting for you now, you've convinced me, you stand out.'" Safaí told the Bay Area Reporter. "There's millions and millions of dollars being spent on this campaign, but with the support from organized labor and every day San Franciscans, I've been getting momentum."

It takes just steps for San Francisco mayoral candidate Ahsha Safaí to go from city supervisor back to dad. 

"When they say 'running for office,' they literally mean running for office. You're in this constant, constant hustle," he told CBS News Bay Area. "And that's why I always say, if you're not losing weight on a campaign, you're not working hard enough."

He zips across town to pick up his son Rumi from camp mid-workday.
