Considerations

As of July 2025, no other candidates have publicly declared their intention to run for this seat. However, the filing deadline for the 2026 election has not yet passed, and additional candidates may enter the race. Voters should monitor official announcements and updates from the California Secretary of State's office for the most current information on the candidate roster.
