The city held a Runoff Election for registered voters who occupy in council Districts 3 and 7 elect Council members on Tuesday, March 9. The election was required by State law because none of the candidates on the ballot received a majority of votes in the Mayor and Council election that was held on Nov. 3, 2020.
Candidates Nicole Garcia and Councilmember Debra Stark ran for District 3 and the candidates Yassamin Ansari and Cinthia Estela ran for District 7. Ansari and Estela ran for Councilmember Michael Nowakowski’s seat on the council. Nowakowski, who assumed office in 2008, has served the city for three terms.
