On the ballot

This person would represent King City Council District 1 on the city's 5-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land-use decisions for this Monterey County city of 13,332 residents (2020 Census) in the Salinas Valley. A 4-year term. The Council's five district seats serve staggered terms; King City's Mayor is a separate, directly elected 2-year-term office not part of this race, and is not up in 2026.

Mike LeBarre is running unopposed for King City Council District 2.

District 2 elects one member to a 4-year term on King City's 5-member City Council, which sets the budget, land use, and city ordinances for this Salinas Valley city of 13,332 residents (2020 Census), while a professional city manager runs day-to-day operations. King City's Mayor is a separate, directly elected 2-year-term office and isn't part of this race.

Monterey County's own certified candidate list confirms LeBarre is the only candidate who qualified for this seat, so he is elected regardless of vote totals.

Mike LeBarre

Mike LeBarre's county ballot designation is "Agricultural Technician." He did not file a candidate statement, and no independent biography, campaign site, or news coverage of his candidacy was found this pass beyond the county's own certified candidate list.

Strengths

An "Agricultural Technician" ballot designation, suggesting work directly tied to the Salinas Valley's dominant agricultural economy.

Trade-offs

No campaign website, public statement, or news coverage was found this pass describing his background or platform beyond his ballot designation.

Keep in mind

Beyond his name and ballot designation from the county's own certified record, this dataset found no independent information about his priorities -- an absence, not a judgment.
