While Dr. Flojaune Cofer had several sources of support, her pot of campaign cash came overwhelming from individual and small dollar donations. Of her $174,440-plus war chest, some $141,861 of it poured in directly from voters. Many were doctors, nurses, mental health professionals and religious leaders, but the professions also veered into the arts: Cofer was the only mayoral candidate this year to get contributions from people listing themselves as poets, artists, writers and filmmakers.

Organized labor, a bracket that didn’t include public safety or building trade unions in SN&R’s categorical system (those were both separate brackets), amounted to Cofer’s second-largest area of support. She received $9,550 from those union sources.

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.
