The longtime politician says he won’t be running for Congress this year but is keeping his hand in public policy issues.
No, Sam Liccardo won’t be aiming to unseat Rep. Zoe Lofgren in 2024, but the former San Jose mayor has lined up a new job.
At Ground Floor, Liccardo said his job will involve working on policy strategy and public outreach as well as having conversations with a range of business, nonprofit and community leaders around the Bay Area about those issues and doing a lot of research — which appeals to his policy wonk side. Liccardo says his job won’t involve lobbying, and he doesn’t plan to register as a lobbyist.
“We share a commitment to cross-sector collaboration to solve the challenges facing our region and state,” he said. “At Ground Floor we always say, a win for a client is a win for the community, and we believe it. Having Sam on board will help us execute that guiding principle.”
