Not even a month after his narrow win over a more-seasoned and better-funded opponent, San Jose Mayor-elect Matt Mahan was served the kind of humble pie that could complicate his leadership of America’s 10th largest city.
There are signs he’s wasting no time. A night after that bruising defeat on council vacancies, Mahan joined with David Cohen — one of those councilmembers who had backed Chavez and voted against Mahan’s call for a special election — in a compromise resolution for how the city analyzes transportation needs for development projects.
“When you first get elected into the role, you’re just in this deluge of people wanting to meet, people wanting to sit down and talk about how you can help,” Mahan said. “It’s overwhelming.” But he said “structurally, the office will look very different,” more streamlined and focused on delivering results on the issues at the center of his campaign: homelessness, public safety, blight and government accountability.
