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

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber today posted a revised Statement of Vote for the March 5 primary.

A Superior Court jury found that Anh Colton lied about her experience in campaign materials in 2022 primary election for Santa Clara County sheriff.

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.

Sam Liccardo urged his fellow candidates – and the public – to embrace the results of the 16th Congressional District recount.

The counting process exploded into a controversy involving political action committees, campaign surrogates, the Federal Election Commission, members of Congress and the counting of previously discarded ballots.

While former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo’s 8,200-vote margin means he is a shoo-in for the top spot on the ballot, the recount could change the unprecedented tie between Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian and State Assemblymember Evan Low.

Evan Low says, Thanks but no thanks, to the recount, and accuses Sam Liccardo of Trumpian tactics in engineering a recount plot to benefit from a two-man race.

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.

April 2 Update: City, county, state ballots set for November

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.

The contest between Joe Simitian and Evan Low could be decided by Friday's report from San Mateo County, which last reported results on Wednesday, March 13.

As expected, Mayor Matt Mahan easily won re-election, avoiding a November runoff with 87.8% of the vote, as ballot counting continued through Thursday.

In addition to outright winners in local races in the March primary, Matt Mahan, David Cohen and Otto Lee, another 10 local politicians emerged from the early ballot counts as shoo-ins for November, because they are already comfortably separated from their opponents.

No other city in California except Santa Clara still has an elected police chief. Less than 20% of the municipalities in the state have an elected city clerk.
