Rubric: https://voteorelse.com/about#methodology ## On the ballot - **Alex Padilla** — Incumbent - **Subrina Miller** A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot. District 2 Councilmember Alex Padilla, first elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2022, faces challenger Subrina Miller on the November 3 ballot. The winner serves a four-year term on Inglewood's four-member City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the municipal budget, and land-use decisions for District 2. This is an incumbent-challenger race: a councilmember with more than a decade in the seat against a first-time candidate whose public record is built around a community nonprofit rather than city government. The choice is largely whether to continue Padilla's tenure or bring in an outsider with a different kind of experience. ## Alex Padilla Padilla has represented District 2 on the City Council since 2013 and was re-elected in 2022. They host an annual district event for constituents, a recurring part of their time in office. No specific 2026 re-election platform could be confirmed beyond their candidacy filing and past coverage of their tenure. **Strengths:** Thirteen years representing District 2, including a 2022 re-election, give voters the most direct evidence available for a job like this one: a record in the office itself. **Trade-offs:** No specific 2026 platform or list of accomplishments could be confirmed from available reporting — a real information gap for an incumbent, not just a thin record. **Keep in mind:** A challenger running against a decade-plus incumbent usually has to make the affirmative case for change; whether Miller does depends on what they say about Padilla's tenure specifically, not just their own biography. ## Subrina Miller Miller is the founder of the Heads Up Foundation, a nonprofit they started after periods of homelessness and financial hardship, staffed by people with similar lived experience helping resource-deprived families. They previously worked for the Inglewood Unified School District. This is their first run for elected office. **Strengths:** Founded and runs a nonprofit built directly on their own experience with homelessness and financial hardship, staffed by people who share that background. **Trade-offs:** No experience in elected or appointed city government, and no confirmed platform for what they would do on the council specifically. **Keep in mind:** Their public record is nonprofit and community work, not city governance — a different kind of preparation than Padilla's, and voters should weigh which kind the seat calls for. ## Sources 1.
