Five of the city’s nine City Council districts are up for reelection in 2022 in addition to the mayor’s office and other citywide offices like city prosecutor and city auditor. Here are what the initial fundraising reports show:
1st District
The 1st district includes parts of Downtown and the Port of Long Beach and is currently represented by Councilwoman Mary Zendejas. Zendejas won a special election in 2019 after the seat was vacated by Lena Gonzalez when she won a special election for a State Senate seat.

Access to the beach could be expanded soon in Long Beach after the City Council approved a motion Tuesday that could result in the installation of an ADA access mat at Granada Beach to allow those with mobility limitations to access the water.

The request was made by three councilmembers who said that the pandemic put a heightened focus on how important outdoor spaces are and the city could do more to ensure that the city’s coastline was accessible to everyone.
Access mats are moveable installations that can be rolled out over the sand to provide a sturdier surface for wheelchairs, strollers and walkers. One brand, Mobi-mat, which has been used at other area beaches, sells access mats in linkable-sections as long as 50 feet and retail for over $2,000 each.
