Phil Serna, the long-time Sacramento County Supervisor, is hanging up his hat and won’t be chasing another term in 2026. After serving on the board since 2010, Serna is ready for a new chapter, and he’s handing the reins over to Sacramento City Councilmember Eric Guerra. Now, don’t worry, this isn’t just filled with goodbyes; it’s more about who’s stepping up. In a bold move, Serna has endorsed Guerra as his choice to represent Sacramento’s First District.
Guerra isn’t a stranger to the spotlight. Since taking his seat on the Sacramento City Council in 2015, he’s been busy making waves and working on the California Air Resources Board since 2023. Serna clearly sees potential in Guerra, saying he embodies a“new generation of leadership.”Heck, if anyone can tackle hot issues like healthcare and climate change, it’s someone who’s been actively involved in local governance. Seems like local politics might get a breath of fresh air!
As we gear up for the California primary on June 2nd, the spotlight will be on Guerra—will he live up to Serna’s expectations? Only time will tell, but this shake-up could signal exciting changes ahead for Sacramento. So, what do you think? Does new leadership make you hopeful or skeptical? Let’s hear your thoughts!
