On the ballot

This person would hold one of five at-large seats on Corcoran's City Council: the budget, land use, and city ordinances for this Kings County city. A 4-year term. The council doesn't elect its mayor directly -- members choose one of their own to serve as mayor and one as vice mayor after each election.

Eight candidates qualified for three at-large seats on Corcoran's City Council -- the three highest vote-getters win outright, with no runoff. One qualified candidate, Jerry Robertson, is a sitting incumbent seeking another term; the two other current officeholders whose seats are up did not file to run again.

The three seats up this cycle belong to Mayor Sidonio Palmerin, Vice Mayor Jerry Robertson, and Council Member Gregory Ojeda, per the city's own current-roster page. Of the three, only Robertson filed to run again in 2026, per Kings County's own candidate-qualification record; Palmerin and Ojeda did not.
