San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan announced his bid for California governor, arguing he can tackle homelessness, housing affordability, and crime by applying his city-government experience to the state. He has already drawn a notable endorsement from Rep. Sam Liccardo and has built statewide visibility through TV appearances and a conservative-leaning advocacy group. The race features a crowded Democratic field including Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, Betty Yee, Tony Thurmond, Xavier Becerra, Ian Calderon, Antonio Villaraigosa, and Tom Steyer; recent internal polling cited by the San José Spotlight shows no clear front-runner, with Porter leading around 14%, Swalwell at 11%, and Mahan around 5%, indicating a wide-open contest for the June primary.
