Livermore Mayor John Marchand has declared his candidacy for reelection.
Marchand has served at the helm of the city for more than a decade, taking only a two-year break from 2020 to 2022 upon reaching his term limit. By 2022, he was eligible to run for the post again and successfully defeated then-opponent Mony Nop.
Under Marchand’s leadership, Livermore has seen the addition of many projects including Vineyard Resource Center, Stockmen’s Park, and Livermorium Plaza. In response to the community’s input on priorities, the “L” Street parking garage with smart parking technology and EV charging stations is also nearing completion, according to an announcement from his campaign.
His campaign website lists his current top four priorities for Livermore which include quality of life, public safety, housing security and infrastructure.
“I would be humbled and honored to continue to serve our community as Mayor. I’m grateful for the continued vote of confidence from Livermore residents,” Marchand said in a statement.
He continued, “Our fine city continues to deliver quality of life improvements for our community. We’ve addressed requests for enhancements in our Springtown district with the addition of a community garden and pickleball courts. I just recently broke ground for the expansion of Blacksmith Square which will enhance the dining and shopping opportunities for our residents and guests, while preserving our rich heritage. In response to community concerns, the city council recently modified the airport standards to require the sale of unleaded fuel for small-piston-driven planes.”
In addition to having many years of experience as mayor already under his belt, Marchand is a retired water chemist. He previously served on the Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Directors before his election to city office in 2005. He is also a longtime Livermore resident, having resided in the city with his wife since 1985 where they raised their two sons.
Marchand is the first to formally announce his candidacy for the mayoral race thus far. “I love Livermore, and want to continue to do all I can to help it thrive well into the future,” Marchand said on his campaign website.
