Elected Mayor

Matt Mahan

The 2022 San Jose mayoral election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the next mayor of San Jose for a two-year term. A top-two primary was held on June 7, 2022, and no candidate received more than 50% in this primary election. Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez and San Jose City Councilmember Matt Mahan advanced to a November 8 runoff election.[1] On November 16, Cindy Chavez conceded the race to Matt Mahan.[2]

Due to San Jose term limits, which sets a maximum of two total terms, incumbent mayor Sam Liccardo was not eligible to run for reelection. The 2022 mayoral election would be the last held on a gubernatorial election cycle, as a result of the passage of Measure B in 2022.[3] Following mayoral elections were to coincide with the presidential election cycle. The election was nonpartisan, as are all local elections in California.
