According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Haney has been working with Breed on crafting the city's $13 billion budget to tackle homelessness, housing and affordability for San Francisco residents.

"I'm happy to endorse his candidacy and look forward to working with him as a partner in the Assembly," Breed told the newspaper.

He has also been endorsed by Assembly Housing Committee Chair Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland), Supervisors Shamann Walton and Bilal Mahmood, as well as labor organizations, like the Service Employees International Union.

Breed appointed David Chiu to be the city attorney leaving his Assembly seat open. Haney is running against David Campos for the seat and the vote is set for April 19.
