The political climate of the race was influenced by an ongoing dispute between representatives of the city's labor force and Mayor Chuck Reed, stemming from a 2012 ballot initiative championed by Reed to restructure San Jose City employee pensions. Dave Cortese received the full endorsement and support of the politically powerful South Bay Labor Council, while the four sitting councilmembers, having supported Mayor Reed's pension reform initiative, were described as "Reed loyalists."http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_24656800/san-jose-mayor-election-wild-jam-packed-race San Jose mayoral election: Wild, jampacked race begins December 4, 2013 San Jose Inside March 15, 2014 This ideological polarization was present not just in San Jose's mayoral election, but in a number of City Council races as well.http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_26832755/balance-power-at-san-jose-city-hall-at Balance of power at San Jose City Hall at stake in Tuesday's election October 31, 2014 San Jose Mercury News November 4, 2014 As part of his campaign, Councilmember Liccardo authored a book in which he assessed the issues facing San Jose and offered his own vision for the city.
