On the ballot
- Anissa Zamaro
- Karen Alexander
This person holds your district's seat on Corona's 5-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land use. A 4-year term. The council doesn't elect its Mayor and Vice Mayor by separate citywide vote -- those are titles the council assigns from among its own district-elected members -- and day-to-day operations run through an appointed city manager.
Two candidates are running for Corona's open District 4 City Council seat: Karen Alexander and Anissa Zamaro. Incumbent Jim Steiner does not appear on the declared-candidate list, so this is an open seat.
The winner serves a four-year term on Corona's five-member City Council, which sets city ordinances, adopts the budget, and decides land use citywide. The council doesn't elect its Mayor and Vice Mayor by separate citywide vote — those are titles the council assigns from among its own district-elected members — and day-to-day operations run through an appointed city manager.
Neither Alexander nor Zamaro holds city office or has a documented public record in this pass, and no source found explains why Steiner — the sitting District 4 councilmember — isn't seeking reelection. With no incumbent record to weigh, this district's choice rests entirely on whatever each candidate says on her own campaign materials or the sample ballot, neither of which surfaced in this research pass.
