The 2024 Sacramento mayoral election will be held on March 5, 2024[1][2] to elect the mayor of Sacramento, California.

Municipal elections in California are nonpartisan. If none of the candidates receive above 50% of the vote, the top two candidates will face off in the general election on November 5, 2024.[3][4][5]

Background

Incumbent Mayor Darrell Steinberg was first elected as Sacramento mayor in 2016 and reelected in 2020.[6] In 2020, he said he did not plan to seek a third term in office, even though his Strong-mayor ballot measure would have allowed him to seek a third term since it would not apply to his first term, which had occurred before its intended passage.[7][8] However, since Measure A was voted down by 57% of Sacramento voters, he would be able to run for a third term regardless.[4]

In February 2023, he stated that he was "officially undecided" and that he was "holding the option open".[3] His Chief of Staff Mary Lynne Vellinga stated that he would make his announcement by the end of May 2023.[5] On May 23, he announced that he would run for the office of California Attorney General instead.[9]
