On the ballot
- Ross J. Maza — Incumbent
This person holds your district's seat on Alhambra's 5-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land use.
Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent Ross J. Maza, a self-employed Realtor with H.M.E. Realtors on Main Street, is unopposed for what local reporting describes as his third term — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.
This person holds one of five district seats on Alhambra's City Council: city ordinances, the budget, land-use and development approvals, and the city's contracts. Members serve four-year terms and choose one of their own as a rotating mayor.
With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what to expect from another term and where accountability comes from outside the ballot: constituent contact, council meetings, and local reporting.
Ross J. Maza
This person is a self-employed Realtor with H.M.E. Realtors on Main Street who has represented District 2 since Alhambra moved to by-district council elections and has run unopposed in each of his prior campaigns. He is running unopposed again for a third term; the local coverage reviewed for this contest did not report a stated 2026 platform.
Strengths
Multiple terms' worth of institutional experience representing District 2, uninterrupted since the city moved to by-district elections.
Trade-offs
Running unopposed again means his record faces no organized public counter-argument, and no campaign has laid out 2026 priorities to evaluate.
Keep in mind
An unopposed return puts accountability on residents and local coverage rather than the ballot — his committee assignments and votes over the next term are what to track.
