Concord City Treasurer

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 is Concord's elected City Treasurer: a part-time, advisory role overseeing the city's cash and investments and reporting on the city's financial position to the Council each quarter, paid $600 a month, with day-to-day work handled by a city Senior Financial Analyst. Elected citywide. A 4-year term.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent Treasurer Patti Barsotti appears unopposed for another term -- so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

Concord's Treasurer is a part-time, advisory elected office overseeing the city's cash and investments and reporting on the city's financial position to the Council each quarter. Day-to-day work is handled by a city Senior Financial Analyst, not the Treasurer personally. Paid $600 a month. Elected citywide for a 4-year term.

With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what the officeholder has done and what to watch next. An unopposed return means accountability for this office over the next four years runs through the Council's quarterly review of the city's investment reports rather than through the ballot.

Patti Barsotti

The incumbent City Treasurer, unopposed for re-election, with a filed ballot designation of simply "Incumbent." No campaign website, news coverage, or further biography beyond her current officeholder status was located for her in this pass despite a real search effort -- domain guesses, a Ballotpedia lookup, and repeated search-engine queries all failed to surface anything more.

Strengths

A sitting term already in the office, confirmed directly by the city's own Treasurer page.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no independent reporting evaluating her time in the role.

Keep in mind

Running unopposed, and with Concord's own NetFile portal unreachable by this session's fetch tooling, no campaign-finance filing could be checked for her in this pass.
