Four of San Francisco's leading mayoral candidates took on each other for the third time during their debate on Monday, with incumbent Mayor London Breed coming under heavy fire from her opponents over how her administration tackled the city's biggest problems.

At the Golden Gate Park's County Fair Building, Breed, former San Francisco mayor Mark Farrell, District 11 Supervisor Ahsha Safai and anti-poverty advocate Daniel Lurie battled each other to gain the interest of a room full of voters. Aaron Peskin, who participated in the two previous debates, chose to skip this one.

Debate questions focused on public safety, homelessness, mental health, transportation, and revitalizing downtown. The first query brought up last week's death of 74-year-old Corazon Dandan, who was pushed by a homeless man in front of an oncoming BART train at Powell Street Station.
