The 1974 San Jose mayoral election was held to elect the mayor of San Jose, California. It saw an initial election held on June 4, 1974, followed by a runoff election on November 5, 1974, after no candidate managed to obtain a majority in the initial election. The runoff was won by Janet Gray Hayes, who became the first female mayor of the city, making San Jose the first United States city of more than 500,000 residents to elect a female mayor.[3][4][5]
While incumbent mayor Norman Mineta had been eligible to seek reelection to a second term, he instead opted to run for the United States House of Representatives.[6]
