Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:54 GMT

San Jose’s contentious mayoral race last year between Matt Mahan and Cindy Chavez was a pricey battle between business and labor interests, shattering the city’s all-time campaign spending record to the tune of more than $8 million.Now that figure could climb even higher in the years to come after the San Jose City Council voted 10-1 Tuesday to loosen the city’s campaign finance laws in the wake of a 2022 Supreme Court case involving Texas Republican Sen.
