## On the ballot

- **Ross J. Maza** — Incumbent

A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot.

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. They vote on 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.
