Is “Congressman Liccardo” in our future? Maybe. But his potential opponent, Zoe Lofgren, says “I plan to run for reelection, and I don’t run to lose.”
What’s next for ex-San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo? It could be a move to Washington, D.C.
Lofgren said the former mayor reached her by phone earlier this month to give her a heads-up. The congresswoman told him “it’s a free country if he wants to run.” But, she told this news organization, she plans to put up a fight. Liccardo confirmed to this news organization that a bid for Congress is on the table, but said nothing has been finalized.
Liccardo, who was first elected mayor in 2014, termed out this year and was replaced by former Councilman Matt Mahan. The former mayor declined to specify what other options he’s considering, but said he expects to make a decision about his next move in the next few weeks.
