On the ballot

Peggy Parks — Author/Child Caregiver
Sergio D. Robles — Councilmember/Soldier · Incumbent

This person would hold one of four district seats on Elk Grove's 5-member City Council (four district members plus a separately, directly elected Mayor): city ordinances, the budget, and land use, under a council-manager government with an appointed City Manager. A 4-year term.

Sergio D. Robles, the sitting District 4 councilmember, is running for reelection against one challenger, first-time candidate Peggy Parks.

The two other city seats with terms expiring this cycle -- Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and District 2's Rod Brewer -- each drew only themselves as a qualified filer and are not on the November ballot at all, per the county's own candidate document. District 4 is the only contested Elk Grove city race this cycle, decided outright by whichever candidate gets more votes -- there is no runoff.

Sergio D. Robles

The incumbent District 4 councilmember, seeking reelection; his filed ballot designation is "Councilmember / Soldier." The City of Elk Grove's own council roster confirms he is the sitting District 4 representative. This dataset's search did not surface a published official biography page, campaign website, or independent news profile giving further detail on his council record or military service beyond that self-declared designation.

Strengths

Already serving as the District 4 councilmember, with incumbency itself as a track record voters can weigh.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no independent (non-official-roster) reporting evaluating his council record, and no further detail behind his "Soldier" ballot designation.

Keep in mind

This dataset located no campaign-finance filing (state or local) for his 2026 campaign, so there is no fundraising picture to weigh for this race.

Peggy Parks

A first-time candidate; her filed ballot designation is "Author / Child Caregiver." This dataset searched the city's own site, Wikipedia, Cal-Access, general news, and general web search and found no campaign website, news coverage, or further biographical detail beyond that self-declared designation. She did file a candidate statement with the county, but this dataset could not locate its text through any of the search methods used in this pass.

Strengths

not established in the sourcing found for this race.

Trade-offs

as a first-time candidate with no located public record beyond her filed paperwork, voters have little beyond her name, her self-declared occupation, and the fact that she qualified for the ballot.

Keep in mind

this is a documented sourcing gap, not evidence against her -- a real, multi-method search turned up nothing further to report.

elections.saccounty.gov (opens in a new tab)Sacramento County Registrar of Voters -- official Roster of Candidates / candidate-report system for the Nov. 3, 2026 General Election, queried directly for all three City of Elk Grove contests: Mayor (Contest 5550, On Ballot: No, one qualified filer Bobbie Singh-Allen, status "Pending"); City Council District 2 (Contest 5552, On Ballot: No, one qualified filer Rod Brewer, status "Pending"); City Council District 4 (Contest 5554, On Ballot: Yes, two "Qualified" candidates who each filed a statement: Sergio D. Robles, ballot designation "Councilmember / Soldier", and Peggy Parks, ballot designation "Author / Child Caregiver"). Independently agrees with the local transcription at sources/sacramento-candidates-nov2026.txt (retrieved 2026-08-27), which lists only District 4 among Elk Grove's contests -- confirming Mayor and District 2 were already flagged On Ballot: No as of that earlier pass, not a status that changed since.

en.wikipedia.org (opens in a new tab)Wikipedia's Elk Grove, California article -- "Government" section: council-manager government; "Beginning in 2012, voters elect the mayor for a two-year term" while the four other council seats are "elected by districts for four-year terms"; names Bobbie Singh-Allen as sitting Mayor and recounts her electoral history (defeated Steve Ly in 2020; reelected in 2022 and 2024 "by progressively larger margins") -- consistent with her 2-year term expiring this cycle and her being the sole Nov. 2026 Mayor filer.
