Now that Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen is soon to be out of a job in San Jose City government, she’s looking around for her next gig. After coming in third in the race for San Jose Mayor, rumor has it that she’s eyeing the District 3 Board of Supervisors seat, which is currently held by Dave Cortese. Never mind that she just endorsed council-mate Sam Liccardo for Mayor. Madison’s best case scenario is that Sam loses, despite her endorsement. Otherwise the supervisorial seat doesn’t open. If this scenario unfolds, Madison has a problem though: she does not live in Dave Cortese’s supervisorial district. Not only that, but she has little base of support in that part of the county. Only 3% of Madison’s City Council District is in Cortese’s supervisorial district. That’s not much of a base, especially since Madison’s election results in her council district are far from solid.
