Public Health Advocate Dr. Flojaune Cofer says she is running for mayor to bridge the gap between what the people of Sacramento want and what their current leaders are doing.

Cofer is the senior policy director for the nonprofit lobbying organization Public Health Advocates. She is also known for her work as chair of the advisory committee for Measure U, a sales tax increase adopted by voters in 2012 and bolstered by another vote in 2018. The measure was largely intended to help develop Sacramento’s underserved neighborhoods.
