Khosa** — Businessman - **Patric Jones** — Business Owner - **Amarjeet Gill** — Incumbent A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. Four candidates are running for two of Fowler’s City Council seats on November 3. Incumbent Amarjeet Gill faces 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 filed ballot designation is simply "Incumbent," with no stated occupation. Fresno County’s own records confirm they hold their current seat by direct election, not appointment. Wikipedia’s Fowler article states they currently serve as Mayor Pro Tem. That title is assigned by the Council rather than separately elected. It could not be corroborated against the city’s own site. No further independent biographical detail was found for them. **Strengths:** An incumbent Councilmember confirmed by the county’s own record. Wikipedia names Gill Mayor Pro Tem, though that could not be corroborated against Fowler’s unreachable site. **Trade-offs:** No independent reporting or biography evaluates Gill's record. Their occupation, background, and platform beyond the Mayor Pro Tem title are unconfirmed. **Keep in mind:** Gill filed a candidate statement per the county’s record, but its text could not be retrieved. No campaign site or social media was found for them. ## Eric Hadden Eric Hadden is a first-time candidate. Hadden's filed ballot designation is "Executive Director." Their own campaign site confirms they and their wife moved to Fowler eleven years ago. It names their community roles. They are a lector at St. Lucy’s Catholic Church, a Cub Scout leader, and secretary of the Fowler Lions Club. **Strengths:** Documented community roles at St. Lucy’s, the Cub Scouts, and as Fowler Lions Club secretary. Hadden's campaign site states a platform of economic development, beautification, and infrastructure. **Trade-offs:** A first-time candidate with no council record. Every biographical detail here comes from Hadden's own campaign site, and no independent outside coverage of their candidacy was found. **Keep in mind:** Hadden filed a candidate statement per the county’s record, but its text could not be retrieved. No financial filings could be confirmed for them. ## Gurjant S. Khosa Gurjant S. Khosa is a first-time candidate. Khosa qualified last among the four, on 8/7/2026. Khosa's filed ballot designation is "Businessman." They did not file a candidate statement, per the county’s own record. No independent biographical detail was found for them beyond the county’s own candidate filing. That includes what business they run, their background, and their platform. **Strengths:** A stated occupation of businessman that could bring a business perspective to the Council. That could not be independently verified or expanded on. **Trade-offs:** No candidate statement, campaign materials, endorsements, or independent coverage were found for Khosa. **Keep in mind:** As a challenger, Khosa has no council voting record to evaluate. They also qualified last among the four candidates this cycle, about three weeks after the others. ## Patric Jones Patric Jones is a first-time candidate. Jones's filed ballot designation is "Business Owner." No independent biographical detail was found for them beyond the county’s own candidate filing. That includes what business they run, their background, and their platform. **Strengths:** A stated occupation of business owner that could bring a business perspective to the Council. That could not be independently verified or expanded on. **Trade-offs:** No campaign materials, endorsements, or independent coverage were found for Jones. **Keep in mind:** Jones filed a candidate statement per the county’s own record, but its text could not be retrieved. As a challenger, they have no council voting record to evaluate. ## Review notes - 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. ## Sources 1.
