Cofer Wins Sacramento County Supervisor District 1 Race With 54.53%, as Guerra Concedes on the Afternoon of Nov. 9
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The race for District 1 on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors in Sacramento, Sacramento County, California, was settled on November 9: Flojaune 'Flo' Cofer is the winner, and her opponent, Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra, conceded on Monday afternoon, congratulating her on her 'historic election.'
Under results released November 7, Cofer led with 54.53 percent of the vote to Guerra's 45.47 percent, a margin of more than 5,000 votes. Cofer, who holds a doctorate in epidemiology and spent two decades in public health, will be the first Black woman to hold a seat on the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.
The result marks the first change of leadership for the District 1 seat since 2010; incumbent Supervisor Phil Serna served four terms and did not seek a fifth. District 1 covers Sacramento's urban core, including Midtown, Downtown, Natomas, Oak Park and East Sacramento.
Guerra has sat on the City Council since 2015 and his current term runs through 2028. Both candidates are Democrats. Cofer will lead policy for the county's urban core, including housing, homeless services and public safety; the two also discussed homelessness on their concession call.
