Matt united tens of thousands of San José residents who shared the belief that city government can work for all of us. And he promised to bring our government back to the basics, so that it is focused on keeping our city safe, cleaning up our streets, and finally ending street homelessness.

Matt Mahan is the current Mayor of San José. He comes from the business world, where he founded and grew companies dedicated to empowering neighborhoods and communities and holding government accountable.

Matt Mahan believes we deserve real answers on how San José will address homelessness, crime, untreated mental illness, the cost of housing and on so many other vital issues – not just more political excuses.

Matt is proud to have support from every corner of our city. Thousands of our neighbors have joined Matt’s revolution of common sense. Join them and add your name today!

MATT MAHAN WILL BRING COMMON SENSE AND ACCOUNTABILITY to one of San Jose’s most pressing problems — crime. His plan will focus on proven and cost-effective ways to increase safety in our neighborhoods by fully staffing our police force, targeting serious and violent offenders, and focusing on services including job training, drug treatment ...

That’s why Matt is organizing a re-election campaign for Mayor of San José to demand common sense at every level of our city government. We have big problems facing our city – starting with an epidemic of street homelessness, rising crime rates, a lack of affordable housing, a growing scarcity of water and traffic gridlock.

Our job on Team Mahan is to connect with voters in their neighborhoods and talk about Matt’s vision for a more responsive, transparent, and accountable government. High school, undergraduate, and graduate students are encouraged to apply.

Matt will be out in every neighborhood across San Jose, speaking with residents and sharing his vision for ending street homelessness, keeping our neighborhoods safe, cleaning up our city, and more. We would like to invite you to join us at our last upcoming community events before Election Day on November 8th.
