The Peace and Freedom Party Sacramento County Central Committee was an early endorser of Dr. Flojaune “Flo” Cofer, who is running for the non-partisan office of City of Sacramento mayor.
In a hard-fought primary election campaign involving six candidates, Dr. Cofer came in first, besting the second-place finisher by nearly 8,000 votes (or about 7.7% of ballots cast). Among the field were Richard Pan, former Democratic Party member of the California State Senate; Steve Hansen, former Sacramento City Councilman; and runner-up Kevin McCarty, currently a California State Assembly representative. All there are registered members of the Democratic Party and all garnered between 21% and 21.5% of the vote.
In the November 5 general election, Dr. Cofer will be in a runoff for the mayoral seat against the termed-out McCarty. She currently enjoys a lead in the polls, and has earned the endorsement of the Sacramento Bee.
Below runs a photo of Dr. Cofer talking with constituents at one of the 90 “house parties” she has attended as part of her campaign. The Cofer campaign has now visited some 45,000 households in the city.
