Given that they share a conservative voting record on the City Council, Madison Nguyen’s endorsement of Sam Liccardo for Mayor comes as no surprise. They are both to blame for the current public safety crisis and endorsing Dave Cortese would be a tacit admission that the city has crumbled under their leadership.
But if Liccardo is counting on Nguyen’s coattails consider this: The San Jose City Council District Seven race last spring had three Vietnamese-American candidates in a largely Vietnamese-American District. Madison Nguyen, the incumbent in District 7, endorsed Buu Thai in that race. Buu Thai came in dead last. By far. Two other Vietnamese American candidates in that race who have been publicly critical of Madison Nguyen, drew 31% (Tam Nguyen) and 26% (Van Le) of the vote. Buu Thai only got 12%. Madison Nguyen’s endorsement isn’t worth much.
