City of Dixon
City of Dixon — City Clerk
This person is Dixon's City Clerk, elected citywide rather than appointed by the council. The Clerk runs city elections and keeps public records, such as agendas and contracts. The term is four years.
Only one candidate qualified for Dixon's elected City Clerk seat. The candidate is Lupe Ruiz, the city's current Administrative City Clerk. Incumbent Kristin M. Janisch did not file for reelection, so this contest is settled.
Dixon's City Clerk is elected citywide, on its own ballot line. The council does not appoint the clerk. The clerk is the city's elections official. The clerk also keeps its public records. Those include agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign disclosure filings. The term is four years.
With no opponent, the useful question is who is stepping into the role. It is not who to choose between. Ruiz already runs the office's day to day work as Dixon's Administrative City Clerk. That staff job is not the same as the elected City Clerk seat they are now filling. So their election keeps an existing arrangement in place. It does not put someone new in the office's work.
Lupe Ruiz
Lupe Ruiz is Dixon's Administrative City Clerk, a staff job. They already run the office's daily work and ran unopposed for the elected seat. No campaign website or social media page was found for them.
