Mayor Darrell Steinberg has served the people of Sacramento for 25 years and counting.

Elected as Sacramento’s mayor in 2016, he has guided the city through an unprecedented pandemic and the long overdue reckoning around race and equity.

In 2018, he campaigned for and won voter passage of Measure U, a one-cent sales tax, with a commitment to invest in economic development, youth and affordable housing. In the last three years, the City has invested more than $ 170 million on inclusive economic development and has devoted the vast majority of its more than $200 in federal Covid relief funds to uplifting the community by funding workforce training, grants to small businesses and artists, youth programs and other community investments.

As leader of California’s Big City Mayors, Mayor Steinberg successfully negotiated with both Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov. Gavin Newsom to make an unprecedented statewide commitment to addressing homelessness – a commitment that has brought millions of dollars of additional funding home to Sacramento.
