## On the ballot

- **Alice D. Atkins** — Incumbent

A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent City Clerk Alice D. Atkins, appointed in 2009 and reelected in 2013, 2017 and 2022, appears unopposed for a fourth full term — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

The city clerk runs city elections, keeps Monrovia's official public records — agendas, minutes, contracts — and administers campaign-disclosure filings. The term is four years, and the office is Monrovia's own election authority for this ballot.

With no opponent, the useful question is what the office has done, not who to choose. Atkins has held it for 17 years combined as appointee and elected officer, so their record is long and mostly administrative rather than a matter of policy dispute.

## Alice D. Atkins

The incumbent clerk, appointed in 2009 and reelected three times, unopposed for a fourth term. Atkins holds the Master Municipal Clerk designation from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks and serves concurrently as the city's appointed Chief Deputy City Clerk (per the city's official bio). They joined the city in 2000 and have worked in the Clerk's Office since 2001.

**Strengths:** A quarter-century in the Clerk's Office, the Master Municipal Clerk credential, and three prior elected terms with no documented controversy.

**Trade-offs:** Running unopposed for a fourth term means the office's practices face no outside challenge this cycle.

**Keep in mind:** The clerk's job is largely procedural — running elections and keeping records straight — so continuity is close to the whole case for an incumbent with this record.
