"His leadership here in San Jose's extraordinary. I think he is going to bring the refreshing emphasis on accountability and on focusing on the key issues that Californians care most about,"
"To have someone who's been as effective as he is in San Jose, in the state, running the state government -- that's fabulous,"
"His focus, his energy, I'm all in for Matt."
"Stayed two years and ran for mayor -- made it. After only two years as mayor, now he's going for governor. And then after two years as governor, he'll go for president in two years. That's really what I'm thinking,"
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan announced a run for California governor after indicating such a move could be coming and criticizing other candidates' visions. He received early endorsements, including from former San Jose mayor and Congressman Sam Liccardo, who praised his leadership and emphasis on accountability and key issues. Mahan’s campaign emphasizes public safety, homelessness, and affordability. Vice Mayor Pam Foley endorsed him, citing his effectiveness and energy. Some residents and community advocates questioned his short tenure, cited rapid political advancement, and criticized his handling of homelessness and unfinished city priorities.
