A recent political mailer accuses mayoral candidate Cindy Chavez of giving evasive answers to a grand jury 16 years ago. Is this true? We went back and counted again.

The first poll results in the San Jose mayor general election campaign, of 674 likely city voters polled in the last week of July, showed Chavez leading slightly with 38% of the initial vote preference and Mahan with 37%, with one-fourth of the polled voters undecided.

As the 2022 election season enters its final quarter, the San Francisco 49ers – whose money boosted prior campaigns in both San Jose this spring and Santa Clara in 2020 – may be staying on the sidelines.

During Sam Liccardo's City Hall reign, the SJPD went from 1,370 officers to 1151 authorized police positions and today can only field 961 street-ready officers, and hundreds more officers are planning on leaving over the next 24-months.

San Jose Inside Power Poll Panelists also support mayor’s proposal to combat homelessness and favor stronger regulations to combat Covid-19.

She joins three current San Jose City Councilors in the race: Willow Glen’s Dev Davis, Almaden Valley representative Matt Mahan and Raul Peralez in Downtown.

Mahan enters a field to replace termed-out Mayor Sam Liccardo that includes fellow councilmembers Dev Davis and Raul Peralez.

Proposals announced Wednesday by San Jose city leaders would triple emergency housing units to 1,000, quadruple San José Bridge jobs, and reduce illegal dumping.

The supervisor shared her ambition to become San Jose’s next mayor at a private luncheon of Asian-American and Pacific Islander elected officials.

The clock's ticking on San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo's final term, which ends in 2022, and candidates are lining up.
