Jerry Dyer
MayorMayor, current (second) term. Re-elected March 5 2024; second term sworn in ceremonially Thu Jan 9 2025 (abc30). Official start = first Tuesday after the first Monday in January 2025 = 2025-01-07. Rule: Fresno City Charter Art. III s.305, as quoted in the City of Fresno council report for Bill B-37 (agendas.fresno.gov ID 15-886, Oct 8 2015): a successor Councilmember 'officially assumes office' on the 'first Tuesday following the first Monday in January'; council resolution 22-947 applies it to the 2022 winners (2023-01-03). A four-year term therefore ends on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January four years later. The 2024 cohort ends at the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January 2029 (2029-01-02). First term began 2021-01-05 under the same rule (fresno.gov/mayor).
