This person holds one of five district seats on Carson's City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land-use decisions. The term is four years. Council members choose one of their own to serve as mayor and mayor pro tem, presiding over meetings but casting only one vote like any other member.

Rojas is campaigning on their three-decade law-enforcement background, with public safety and senior services among their stated priorities. Hollaway, a first-time candidate for this seat, is campaigning under the banner "Breaking barriers and building bridges" on infrastructure, neighborhood beautification, and responsive government, drawing on their sitting Public Works Commission seat and the community nonprofit they founded.
