Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen Endorses Sam Liccardo
Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen this week announced that she is endorsing Sam Liccardo for Mayor of San José. Her announcement is another sign of tremendous momentum for Liccardo heading into the November runoff.
“I’m grateful for Madison’s support as we head into the next phase of this campaign. Madison has been an incredible leader and advocate for pension reform,” said Liccardo. “Prominent civic leaders and organizations are coming together in support of my candidacy because they believe so strongly that we must continue to move forward, building a smarter government and a safer city through innovation. We can’t go back to the old way of doing business but must unite together for a stronger San José.”
“The City of San José has gone through a very painful period. We are now starting to recover from the financial problems we have faced. I believe Sam is the best person to avoid falling into the traps of the past and will move San José forward the best way possible,” said Vice Mayor Nguyen.
Nguyen had a strong third place showing in the June primary and is the latest in a recent string of endorsements for Liccardo, including nods from current Mayor Chuck Reed, the San José Silicon Valley Chamber of Commerce and a duel endorsement from the Santa Clara County Democratic Club. These join pre-primary endorsements from the Mercury News, the Sierra Club and former Mayors Susan Hammer, Tom McEnery and Ron James.
