City of Eastvale · Statewide General Election

Eastvale City Council, District 4

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 person holds your district's seat on Eastvale's 5-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land use. A 4-year term. The council selects one of its own members to serve as Mayor and another as Mayor Pro Tem -- the titles rotate rather than being separately elected -- and day-to-day operations run through an appointed city manager.

Raul Gutierrez is the only District 4 candidate this research could confirm from the city's own candidate-filing notice, which could not be re-read in full to rule out other filings. Eastvale elects its council directly in November, with no primary.

The winner holds one of five district seats on Eastvale's City Council, elected to staggered four-year terms: city ordinances, the budget, and land use. The council selects one of its own members to serve as Mayor and another as Mayor Pro Tem -- the titles rotate rather than being separately elected -- and day-to-day operations run through an appointed city manager.

The snippet of the city's own filing notice available for this research shows only one candidate for District 4, with no incumbent marked against him; because that snippet is known to be incomplete elsewhere in the same table, this dataset cannot fully confirm no other candidate also filed, or explain why no incumbent appears.

Raul Gutierrez

A District 4 candidate per the city's own filing-notice record, which does not mark him as an incumbent. No independent biography, occupation, or platform statement was found for him beyond that record, and he does not appear among Eastvale's current councilmembers per Wikipedia's roster.

Strengths

None could be independently confirmed in this research pass.

Trade-offs

No independent biography, professional background, or stated platform was found for him beyond the city's own filing record.

Keep in mind

This research could not fully confirm he is unopposed, or why no incumbent appears for this seat -- both reflect an incomplete read of the city's own filing notice, not a confirmed vacancy.

The snippet cuts off mid-row after Rigby's district figure, so this roster is not confirmed complete -- flagged for re-check against a direct read before certification.
  • eastvaleca.gov (opens in a new tab)City of Eastvale -- "Previous Elections" page: states "Districts 1, 3, and 4 will be voted upon in 2026," matching Riverside County's own Nov 2026 candidate document.

  • eastvaleca.gov (opens in a new tab)City of Eastvale -- "City Council" government page: "The five Councilmembers are elected by district and serve four-year staggered terms, and the Mayor is selected by the Council to serve a one-year term" -- confirms the 5-member, by-district structure and that the Mayor is not a separately elected office.
