Review note: Eric Hadden's own campaign site: he and his wife moved to Fowler eleven years ago; community roles as lector at St. Lucy's Catholic Church, Cub Scout leader, and secretary of the Fowler Lions Club; platform emphasizing sales-tax-funded economic development, city beautification, and infrastructure keeping pace with growth. may have more bias because it is an advocacy voter guide compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources.

City of Fowler
Fowler City Council
This person would hold one of two at-large City Council seats in Fowler. Council members vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. This dataset could not confirm the council's total size or term length. It also could not confirm how Fowler picks its Mayor.
Four candidates are running for two of Fowler's City Council seats on November 3. Incumbent Amarjeet Gill faces three challengers, Eric Hadden, Gurjant S. Khosa, and Patric Jones.
This person would hold one of two at-large City Council seats up this cycle in Fowler, a Fresno County farming city of about 7,470 residents (6,700 at the 2020 census) whose population was 65% Armenian in 1920, per Wikipedia. Fowler's own site (fowlercity.org) returned a Cloudflare bot-detection challenge for every fetch attempt this session, so this dataset could not independently confirm the city's total council size, council term length, or whether the Mayor's office is directly elected or assigned by the Council from among its own members. Wikipedia's Fowler article names Juan Mejia as Mayor and this contest's incumbent, Amarjeet Gill, as Mayor Pro Tem, but that could not be corroborated against the city's own site and may not reflect any changes since. Fowler has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer in either Fresno County candidate document.
With four names on the ballot for two seats, this is a plurality race decided in one round -- the two highest vote-getters win outright. The county's own filing record lists this contest's second incumbent-of-record slot as "Vacant / Vacated" rather than naming a person; this dataset could not confirm whether that reflects a seat that was already vacant before this cycle or a second sitting councilmember who simply didn't file for reelection. This dataset found no independent reporting comparing the four candidates or covering the race.
Amarjeet Gill
Amarjeet Gill is an incumbent seeking another term. Gill's ballot title is simply "Incumbent," with no stated job. Fresno County's records confirm they hold their seat by direct election, not appointment. Wikipedia's Fowler article says they currently serve as Mayor Pro Tem. That title is given by the Council, not elected separately. That could not be confirmed on the city's own site. No further background information was found for them.
Eric Hadden
Eric Hadden is a first-time candidate. Hadden's ballot title is "Executive Director." Their campaign site says they and their wife moved to Fowler eleven years ago. It also names their community roles. They are a lector at St. Lucy's Catholic Church. They are also a Cub Scout leader and secretary of the Fowler Lions Club.
Gurjant S. Khosa
Gurjant S. Khosa is a first-time candidate. Khosa qualified last among the four, on 8/7/2026. Khosa's ballot title is "Businessman." The county's record shows they did not file a candidate statement. No other background information was found beyond the county's filing. That includes what business they run.
Patric Jones
Patric Jones is a first-time candidate. Jones's ballot title is "Business Owner." No other background information was found beyond the county's filing. That includes what business they run.
