Jennifer Stark holds the District 3 seat. She is also Claremont's current mayor. She is running again. Sonja Stump is her challenger. Stump is a local photographer and event coordinator. Claremont holds council elections in November with no primary.

The winner holds one of five district seats on the Claremont City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. The term is four years.

Stark is a two-term incumbent whose colleagues elected her mayor for the current term; her council career has centered on emergency preparedness and regional environmental committees.
