Robles** — Councilmember/Soldier · Incumbent A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. Sergio D. Robles, the sitting District 4 councilmember, is running for reelection against one challenger, first-time candidate Peggy Parks. 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). They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use, under a council-manager government with an appointed City Manager. The term is four years. 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; their filed ballot designation is "Councilmember / Soldier." The City of Elk Grove's own council roster confirms they are the sitting District 4 representative. No published official biography page, campaign website, or independent news profile was found giving further detail on their 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:** No independent reporting evaluating their council record was found, and no detail behind their "Soldier" ballot designation. **Keep in mind:** No campaign-finance filing was located for their 2026 campaign, so there is no fundraising picture for this race. ## Peggy Parks A first-time candidate; her filed ballot designation is "Author / Child Caregiver." In her Vote411 questionnaire she describes herself as a mother, grandmother, mentor, and longtime community volunteer. By her own account she has owned a small business, served on several nonprofit boards, and helped build an airline's first multimedia training department in the 1990s. She also describes church and community outreach across Elk Grove. She filed a candidate statement with the county, but its text could not be located. No campaign website or news coverage was found. Her three stated priorities are public safety, meaning support for law enforcement and emergency services and safe neighborhoods, parks, and roads; traffic relief, through practical fixes as the city grows; and protecting quality of life, through smart growth, well-kept infrastructure and parks, support for local businesses, and more resident input on neighborhood decisions. **Strengths:** By her own account, years of community and church outreach, nonprofit board service, and small-business ownership. **Trade-offs:** As a first-time candidate she has no record in office, so voters weigh stated priorities and volunteer work rather than votes cast. **Keep in mind:** Her background comes from her own questionnaire answers, and no independent reporting was found to check it. No campaign-finance filing was located for her 2026 campaign. ## Sources 1.
