SAN JOSÉ, CA – San Jose Mayor-Elect Matt Mahan, formerly the Councilmember for District 10, was sworn in during a private ceremony in the Council Chambers at City Hall on Thursday. He was joined by his wife, Silvia Mahan, and two children, and cheered on by staff members. He released the following statement: 

“I am humbled and honored to start my term as your next Mayor. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work on common-sense solutions to combat the homelessness epidemic, take on crime, and clean up our streets. May the start of the New Year bring you and your loved ones joy and success as we start this journey together, as one united City.”

A public inauguration will be held for Mayor-Elect Mahan in late January, with details forthcoming. Public officials starting new terms are sworn in before New Year’s Day. The Mayor-Elect’s official term as Mayor begins on January 1, 2023, at midnight.
