Mike Bloomberg has picked up his first major California endorsement with backing from San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a former Kamala Harris supporter and key Silicon Valley leader who will serve as the billionaire's California campaign co-chair
supporter and key Silicon Valley leader who will serve as the billionaire's California campaign co-chair.
The San Jose mayor, a former prosecutor who ranks as one of the state’s most tech-savvy Democrats, will now serve as a plum endorsement and campaign counsel for the billionaire Democrat. Liccardo's endorsement boosts Bloomberg, who plans to sidestep early contests in Iowa and New Hampshire and invest his efforts — and millions of campaign cash — in Super Tuesday states, including California.
The San Jose mayor argues that Bloomberg, the newest Democrat to enter the presidential race, shares his experience as chief executive of a major U.S. city, where he has been called upon to tackle America’s toughest urban problems. “Mayors don’t have the luxury of hyperpartisan tongue-wagging,” Liccardo said in a statement to POLITICO. “They have to solve problems and get things done.’’
The former New York City mayor has campaigned in California before. But in a moment that's sure to be revived and used against him in the current race, he endorsed Republican Meg Whitman, a billionaire former eBay executive and centrist Republican, in her 2010 gubernatorial race against Democrat Jerry Brown.
