Matt Mahan saw his lead over Cindy Chavez grow to 6,351 votes in the race to be San Jose’s first new mayor in eight years.
The tight race to become San Jose’s next mayor remained close Tuesday, but Matt Mahan saw his lead over Cindy Chavez stretch for a second day in a row with now 90% of estimated ballots counted countywide.
Still, tens of thousands of ballots may remain to be counted in the race and it’s unclear where they are from. Batches processed over the weekend favored Chavez and chipped away at Mahan’s lead before additional ballots counted Monday and Tuesday tilted back toward Mahan. The winner will replace Mayor Sam Liccardo, who is termed out and has endorsed Mahan, along with business and real estate groups. Mahan’s fellow council members gave their nod to Chavez, who enjoyed labor and business support in her second bid for the seat.
Chavez said San Jose’s police force remains 200 officers short of the department’s staffing when she left City Hall after 2006. She pointed to her efforts to get a $950 million bond for affordable housing passed, and said county efforts helped house 20,000 people over the last five years.
