Antioch's City Clerk is elected citywide, as a separate office. The Mayor and City Treasurer are also elected citywide, and neither is up this cycle. The Clerk is the city's elections official. The Clerk keeps Council agendas, minutes, ordinances, and Fair Political Practices Commission filings. The Clerk is also secretary to the Board of Administrative Appeals. The job normally runs four years. This seat is on the ballot for the remaining two years of the current term. The previously elected Clerk, Melissa Rhodes, resigned in mid-2025 without public explanation.

With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose. It is what the officeholder has done and what to watch next. For the next two years, accountability for this seat runs through public records requests and the public. It does not run through the ballot.

Michael Mandy

Michael Mandy was appointed City Clerk in September 2025, on a 4 to 1 vote. He replaced Melissa Rhodes, who resigned in July 2025. He now runs to keep the seat. The Council called his appointment a roughly 14 month bridge to this November's special election.
