San Jose Mayor Backs Anthony Tordillos' Campaign for City Council Position
Hey there!
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan endorsed Anthony Tordillos for the downtown District 3 City Council seat, setting the stage for the June runoff election. The endorsement was a game-changer following a recount that confirmed Tordillos and Gabby Chavez-Lopez as the leading contenders, pushing Matthew Quevedo, Mahan's deputy chief of staff, out of the race[1][2][3].
Tordillos, a stalwart on San Jose's Planning Commission, highlighted his shared vision with Mahan when it comes to data-driven strategies for tackling housing and homelessness challenges, despite some policy variances[3]. Despite the endorsement, it is expected to be a heated race, given the significant policy differences between Mahan and both candidates[4].
