Alexandris** — Local Business Owner - **Curtis Burton** — Chino City Council Member · Incumbent A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. 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. A Mayor is elected at large to the fifth seat. The council votes on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. Chino runs under a council-manager government, so an appointed City Manager handles daily work. The term is four years. Terms are staggered, so only two of Chino's four council districts are up each November. Districts 2 and 3 are up this cycle. Districts 1 and 4 come up in 2028. Burton has been a councilmember since November 2022. He is also Chino's sitting Mayor Pro Tem, named to that role in 2025. Before his council election he served on the city's Planning Commission. He also spent decades with the Chino Police Department and retired in 2016. Alexandris is listed on the ballot as a local business owner. No prior city board, commission, or elected office was found for them. ## 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, earlier Planning Commission service, and a Chino police career. Seats on several regional agencies. The only District 2 candidate with a filing. **Trade-offs:** No independent news coverage of his council record was found this pass. He also carries a $4,971 balance on a $6,000 bank loan taken out for his 2022 campaign. **Keep in mind:** His committee's largest 2026 gift, $3,000, came from the Chino Valley Professional firefighters PAC. That same union PAC gave the largest single gift to District 3 incumbent Marc Lucio this period. ## Jimmy D. Alexandris Jimmy D. Alexandris is a candidate for Chino's District 2 council seat. Their filed ballot designation is "Local Business Owner." No further independent record of their occupation, civic involvement, or platform was found in this pass: they have 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 confirmed on their own beyond their filed ballot title. **Trade-offs:** No news coverage, campaign website, civic board record, or itemized filing was found this pass. They are the least documented candidate in either Chino race this cycle. **Keep in mind:** A thin public record early in a campaign says nothing about a candidate's fitness. It marks a gap in what can be found, not a judgment. ## Sources 1.
