John Marchand Running For Re-Election As Livermore Mayor

LIVERMORE, CA — Livermore Mayor John Marchand, who has served as mayor for a total of 11 years, announced his candidacy for re-election. Marchand served as mayor from 2011 to 2020, then successfully ran again in 2022 against realtor Mony Nop.

As mayor, Marchand has presided over projects like the Vineyard Resource Center, Stockmen’s Park, Livermorium Plaza, and the soon to be completed L Street parking garage. Marchand listed quality of life, public safety, housing security, and infrastructure as his top priorities moving forward.

Marchand is a trained chemist who has lived with his wife and two sons in Livermore since 1985. Before he was first elected to the Livermore City Council in 2005, he sat on the Zone 7 Water Board. He currently serves on a number of local regional boards, and was recently elected president of the Alameda County Mayors Conference.

“I would be humbled and honored to continue to serve our community as Mayor,” Marchand said in a statement. “I’m grateful for the continued vote of confidence from Livermore residents. 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.”
