Arvin City Council

Gabriel Garcia is one of six candidates certified for Arvin's three open at-large City Council seats, per the City Clerk's own Candidate Information Sheet. The certified sheet lists only his name and a personal email address -- no ballot designation, occupation, or stated platform -- and no independent news coverage of him could be found despite a real search effort.

Jose Luis Garcia, Jr. is one of six candidates certified for Arvin's three open at-large City Council seats, per the City Clerk's own Candidate Information Sheet. The certified sheet lists only his name and a personal email address -- no ballot designation, occupation, or stated platform -- and no independent news coverage of him could be found despite a real search effort.

Lissette Medina is one of six candidates certified for Arvin's three open at-large City Council seats, per the City Clerk's own Candidate Information Sheet. The certified sheet lists only her name and a personal email address -- no ballot designation, occupation, or stated platform -- and no independent news coverage of her could be found despite a real search effort.

Nora Perez is one of six candidates certified for Arvin's three open at-large City Council seats, per the City Clerk's own Candidate Information Sheet. The certified sheet lists only her name and a personal email address -- no ballot designation, occupation, or stated platform -- and no independent news coverage of her could be found despite a real search effort. Her surname matches that of sitting Mayor Pro Tem Jaime Perez, but the two first names are different and this dataset found nothing connecting them; treat that as a coincidence unless a reachable source says otherwise.

Susanna Reyes is one of six candidates certified for Arvin's three open at-large City Council seats, per the City Clerk's own Candidate Information Sheet. The certified sheet lists only her name and a personal email address -- no ballot designation, occupation, or stated platform -- and no independent news coverage of her could be found despite a real search effort. Her name closely resembles that of sitting Councilmember Susana Reyes on the city's own City Council roster page; the City Clerk's own Notice of Offices and Nominations states that none of the three incumbents whose seats are up this cycle filed for reelection, and this dataset treats her as a non-incumbent on that basis, but could not independently confirm whether this is the same person under an alternately spelled name or a coincidental match between two different Arvin residents.

Anabel Quintino Rubio has lived in Arvin since age one, the daughter of migrant farmworker parents who lived in a labor camp; she's a graduate of Arvin schools, including Arvin High, and calls herself "a product of Arvin." She's currently the Director of Nutrition Services at Vineland School District, a role she's held for more than 23 years, and previously served on the Arvin Union School District board, including seven years as board president, plus coaching for Arvin Little League and regularly attending City Council meetings. She first ran for Arvin City Council in an August 2025 special election for the council's then-vacant 5th seat, campaigning on unifying a council she said was too often gridlocked and on pursuing state grant funding for street repairs; the city's current Council roster shows a different candidate, Tim Tarver, holding that seat today, so Rubio is read as having lost that race and runs this cycle as a non-incumbent.
