San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo issued an apology Tuesday morning after news reports of him celebrating Thanksgiving with his extended family, disregarding COVID-19 safety regulations.
“I apologize for my decision to gather for Thanksgiving with my family, contrary to the rules,” Liccardo wrote on Twitter.
In a statement, the mayor said he and his wife joined four other households for an outdoor dinner at his parents’ house in Saratoga for the holiday.
“Eight of us representing five households sat around three distanced tables in our own family groups on the back patio, and we wore masks when not eating,” Liccardo wrote.
