Modesto Mayor Sue Zwahlen announced Monday that she will seek a second term in office — a little less than a year before city voters pick a mayor. Zwahlen, 68, said in a statement that she is part of a new City Council that is beginning to reverse the city's fortunes. She said that includes bringing unity to a divided council, restoring trust in city government and shoring up the city's financial future with the passage of Measure H — a 1% sales tax increase — on the Nov. 8 ballot. Zwahlen also cited Modesto's progress with Forward Together, its effort at police reform, which is expected to result soon in the hiring of an independent police auditor and the launch of a community police review board.
