Chino City Council, District 2

Draft candidate list — early preview until the state’s official list publishes on August 27, 2026.

This is one contest. Enter your address to see every race on your November ballot, and keep track of your picks.

On the ballot

This person would hold your district's seat on Chino's 5-member City Council, alongside a separately, at-large elected Mayor: city ordinances, the budget, and land use, under a council-manager government where an appointed City Manager runs day-to-day operations. A 4-year term, staggered so only two of the four council districts are up in any given November -- Districts 2 and 3 this cycle, Districts 1 and 4 next in 2028.

Incumbent Curtis Burton -- also the council's current Mayor Pro Tem -- faces a single challenger, Jimmy D. Alexandris, for Chino's District 2 seat on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Whichever candidate gets the most votes wins outright; there is no primary or runoff.

This person would hold District 2's seat on Chino's 5-member City Council, alongside a separately, at-large elected Mayor: city ordinances, the budget, and land use, under a council-manager government where an appointed City Manager runs day-to-day operations. A 4-year term, staggered so only two of Chino's four council districts are up in any given November -- Districts 2 and 3 this cycle, Districts 1 and 4 next in 2028.

Burton, a councilmember since November 2022, is also Chino's sitting Mayor Pro Tem, appointed to that role in 2025. Before his council election he served on the city's Planning Commission and spent decades with the Chino Police Department, retiring in 2016. Alexandris, whose filed ballot designation is "Local Business Owner," has no prior city board, commission, or elected-office record found in this pass.

Curtis Burton

Curtis Burton is Chino's District 2 councilmember and the council's current Mayor Pro Tem (appointed 2025), first elected to the council in November 2022. Before that he served on the city's Planning Commission and spent a career with the Chino Police Department, retiring in 2016 after roles including the district's first school resource officer. He holds seats on the Inland Empire Utilities Agency, the Chino Basin Desalter Authority, and the Water Facilities Authority, and chairs the Animal Resource Center of the Inland Empire's board, per the city's own biography.

Strengths

Four years on the council, plus prior Planning Commission service and a Chino PD career; seats on several regional agencies; the only District 2 candidate with a filing on record.

Trade-offs

No independent news coverage of his specific council record was found in this pass; carries a $4,971 outstanding balance on a $6,000 bank loan taken out for his 2022 campaign.

Keep in mind

His committee's largest 2026 contribution, $3,000, came from the Chino Valley Professional (firefighters) PAC -- the same union PAC that gave the single largest contribution to District 3 incumbent Marc Lucio's committee this period.

Jimmy D. Alexandris

Jimmy D. Alexandris is a candidate for Chino's District 2 council seat. His filed ballot designation is "Local Business Owner." No further independent record of his occupation, civic involvement, or platform was found in this pass: he has filed only a Form 501 candidate intention statement with the city's campaign-finance portal, with no committee financial activity on record, and no campaign website, news coverage, or civic-board record turned up in this pass's research.

Strengths

None independently confirmed beyond his filed designation.

Trade-offs

No news coverage, campaign website, civic-board record, or itemized financial filing was found in this pass -- the least documented candidate in either Chino contest this cycle.

Keep in mind

A thin public record early in a campaign doesn't by itself say anything about a candidate's qualifications -- it's a gap in what's currently discoverable, not a judgment.
