Kevin McCarty

The 2024 Sacramento mayoral election was held on March 5, 2024, with a runoff scheduled for November 5 because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the primary election. It will elect the mayor of Sacramento, California. Municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan.

Epidemiologist Flojaune Cofer took the first spot in the general election, with state assemblyman Kevin McCarty narrowly beating out former state senator Richard Pan and former city councilor Steve Hansen for the second spot. The Sacramento Bee identified Cofer as the most progressive candidate in the race, with McCarty as the "second most progressive," Pan as the "second most moderate," and Hansen as the "most moderate."

The general election was so close that no winner was declared for nearly a month. Ultimately, McCarty was certified as the winner on December 2, defeating Cofer by a margin of 0.6%. McCarty took office as the 57th mayor of Sacramento on December 10, 2024.
