Mayor Lisa Gillmor called the agreement a “loan shark” deal. The National Football League team had sued the City of Santa Clara because it wanted to pay lower public safety costs, and wanted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority to pay for the VIP buffet at games.

Defend The Vote has filed an FEC complaint against Charlene Nijmeh for illegal coordination, breaking transparency laws, and accepting illegal in-kind contributions.

An aggressive public campaign by organized labor for a Chavez appointment, which included outdoor rallies, attack mailers, disruption of public meetings and personal attacks on supervisors, appears to have backfired.

The PAC already has endorsed 54 House candidates, and today's announcement opens doors for national contributions to the Liccardo campaign.

One additional vote from San Mateo County today added to Evan Low's four-vote margin in Santa Clara County, giving him a five-vote lead over Joe Simitian, good for the second spot on the November ballot with frontrunner Sam Liccardo, the former San Jose mayor.

Labor union members rallied outside the San Diego County administration building on Tuesday, pushing for Chavez' appointment to the county’s top staff position.

Because of a tie vote for second place, voters in November will choose from among three candidates for the coveted Silicon Valley congressional seat: former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, Santa Clara Supervisor Joe Simitian and state Assemblymember Evan Low.

Joe Simitian was ahead of Evan Low by five votes Monday evening, after a week of seesaw results. The eventual winner of the race will be decided by how many of the remaining 1,000 voters who mailed in unsigned ballots show up before 5 pm Tuesday, April 2 to sign their ballots.
