Sam Liccardo

The 2014 San Jose mayoral election was held on June 3, 2014, to elect the Mayor of San Jose, California. Councilmember Sam Liccardo defeated Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese in a runoff on November 4, 2014.

Incumbent Democratic Mayor Chuck Reed was term limited and could not run for re-election to a third consecutive term in office.

The election was nonpartisan per California state law, although most of the candidates chose to state a political party affiliation. A primary election was held on June 3, 2014. As no candidate received a majority of the vote, a runoff election was held between the top two vote-getters, Dave Cortese and Sam Liccardo, on November 4, 2014.[1] Liccardo was elected mayor with a majority of the vote.

Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan.
