He went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin later that year but left when the football team was cut. He instead went to Santa Clara University from which he graduated with a degree in economies in 1963. He briefly took evening classes at Humphreys College in 1960s.[3] In 1962, Podesto married Janice, whom he had met at St. Mary's High School. Early careerAfter graduating from Santa Clara University, Podesto managed his father's Don Quick grocery store in Tracy, California.[3] He opened a Food 4 Less grocery store in Stockton in 1984 and went on to open two more, employing about 400 employees and generating up to $120 million in annual retail sales.[4] Political careerPodesto sold his stores in 1996 and soon after declared his candidacy for mayor, spending what was then a local record of $206,000 on the campaign. He won more than two of every three votes cast and won an uncontested re-election in 2000.[3] In 2004, when term limits prevented him from running for mayor again, Podesto declared his candidacy for California's 5th State Senate district, seeking to oust State Senator Michael Machado. Podesto spent nearly $5 million on his bid but lost by more than 5 percent.[3] The Gary and Janice Podesto Teen Impact Center in Stockton is named after the former mayor and his wife.[5][6] References1. ^http://daviswiki.org/Gary_Podesto {{DEFAULTSORT:Podesto, Gary}}2. ^http://www.ourcampaigns.com/CandidateDetail.html?CandidateID=39744 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news |url=http://www.recordnet.com/article/20041231/A_NEWS/312319975 |title=His days as mayor done, Gary Podesto leaves Stockton with |date=December 31, 2004 |work=The Record |access-date=November 20, 2016}} 4. ^https://web.archive.org/web/20041014175826/http://stocktongov.com/Clerk/pages/MayorPage.htm 5. ^http://www.stocktongov.com/government/departments/communityServices/places/teenCenter.html 6. ^http://stockton.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=48&clip_id=5641 6 : Mayors of places in California|People from Stockton, California|Marquette University alumni|Santa Clara University alumni|1941 births|Living people |
