That claim could not be checked against the city's own roster. It is not included here. ## Todd Rigby The incumbent District 1 councilmember, seeking another term. Wikipedia's Eastvale, California article independently confirms they currently sit on the council; no independent biography, occupation, or platform statement was found for them beyond that and the city's own filing record. **Strengths:** Already serving in the seat, which gives Rigby institutional continuity and name recognition if reelected. **Trade-offs:** No independent biography, professional background, or stated platform was found for them in this research pass. **Keep in mind:** With no public record of their priorities beyond their incumbency, this is a vote on continuity itself rather than on any specific plan. ## Rana Saba-Hekman A challenger, not a sitting officeholder. No independent biography, occupation, or platform statement was found for them beyond the city's own filing-notice record. **Strengths:** None could be independently confirmed in this research pass. **Trade-offs:** No incumbency, and no independent biography, professional background, or stated platform was found for them. **Keep in mind:** With no public record to evaluate, voters weighing this race have only the choice between continuity (the incumbent) and change (their candidacy) to go on. ## Sources 1.
