George Moscone is best known as the mayor of San Francisco who was horrifically assassinated along with Harvey Milk. A native son of San Francisco, Moscone was elected mayor of the city in December of 1975 and served from January 1976 until his assassination in November of 1978. Despite his tenure being tragically cut short, Mayor Moscone accomplished many things. Some of his notable accomplishments include his actions to keep the San Francisco Giants in the city, his overseeing the development of the Yerba Buena Center (now the Moscone Center), creating a more inclusive police force, and appointing women and minorities to various boards and commissions. George Moscone was a true progressive leader and his legacy is represented in the inclusiveness of modern San Francisco.
