Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Raul Gutierrez** A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. 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. The seats carry staggered four-year terms. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. The council picks one of its own members to serve as Mayor. It picks another as Mayor Pro Tem. The titles rotate and are not elected separately. Day-to-day operations run through an appointed city manager. The city's filing notice lists only one candidate for District 4. It marks no incumbent against them. The same table is known to be incomplete in places. So it is not certain that no other candidate filed. It also does not explain why no incumbent appears. ## Raul Gutierrez A District 4 candidate per the city's own filing-notice record, which does not mark them as an incumbent. No independent biography, occupation, or platform statement was found for them beyond that record, and they do 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 them beyond the city's own filing record. **Keep in mind:** This research could not fully confirm they are 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. ## Sources 1.
