San Jose mayor jumps into governor’s race

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan on Thursday joined the race for California governor, putting to rest months of will-he-won’t-he speculation about his gubernatorial ambitions.

“We need to stand up for our rights, for our freedoms and for our neighbors. We need to use the tools we have at hand to protect our democracy,” Mahan posted on social media. “One tool is the law. The other tool is our results. We have to use both. That’s how we fix California.”
