Mayor Matt's

Endorsements

<p>Congressman sam liccardo</p>

"I first met Matt Mahan as a city councilmember, hosting weekly neighborhood cleanups in our city. Leading California’s largest cities tests you in ways few jobs do, and I’ve seen firsthand that Mayor Mahan has the grit to govern under pressure. Whether it’s his work to streamline 'quick-build' housing or his focus on data-driven public safety, Matt isn't interested in the partisan theater that defines our politics; he’s interested in what works."

<p>Congressman Ami bera</p>

As Mayor, Matt helped make San Jose the safest big city in America, reduced unsheltered homelessness, and made it easier to build the housing our state desperately needs. Matt is a proven problem solver, and I believe he has what it takes to build a better future for the next generation of Californians.”

Congressman Ami bera

<p>Senator Catherine blakespear</p>

"After years in local and state government, I’ve become deeply frustrated by the lack of progress in ending the humanitarian crisis on our streets, but Matt Mahan is a leader who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo to get results. Matt understands that the era of managed retreat must end. He has shown the courage to prioritize the safety of our public spaces and the dignity of our unhoused neighbors over special interests and bureaucratic red tape."

<p>Assemblymember maggy krell</p>

When I proposed tougher penalties for sex traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein and his pals, the political establishment turned against me. Matt helped me push back.  Matt Mahan will be the Governor Californians need. Progress requires challenging the status quo."

Assemblymember maggy krell

<p>Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen</p>

"If I had to describe Matt Mahan in one word, it would be courage. I first met Matt when he stepped up as the first major Democrat to challenge the establishment and join me in fighting for Proposition 36, which passed with more than 70% of the vote. His pragmatic leadership delivers real results on public safety, treatment, and accountability."

Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen

<p>Supervisor bilal mahmood</p>

"We need a Governor who treats the housing crisis like the emergency it is and uses data, not dogma, to solve it. I’m proud to endorse Matt because he has the entrepreneurial spirit to modernize Sacramento and finally make this state livable for the next generation."

Supervisor bilal mahmood

<p>Supervisor Matt dorsey</p>

"For too long, California has settled for managing the misery on our streets rather than solving the root causes of addiction and public disorder. As someone in long-term recovery, I know that compassion requires more than just a roof. It requires a system that prioritizes treatment, accountability, and the right to live in a safe neighborhood."
