The Sacramento Metro Chamber congratulates Kevin Johnson for his resounding victory in Tuesday's run-off election for the mayor of Sacramento.
The Metro Chamber's political action committee, Metro PAC, early on endorsed Johnson and over the course of two elections generated a large turnout of business support for him.
"Kevin Johnson's successful mayoral campaign is a perfect example of what can happen when a courageous civic leader steps forward," said Matt Mahood, Metro Chamber president & CEO. "Johnson was supported by a broad business, labor and community coalition who wanted a visionary, pro-business, strong leader. Six months ago, no one thought Kevin could win, but many groups like the Metro Chamber stepped forward for him anyway. I am glad we were there to support him early and often!"
