## On the ballot

- **Janet Wall** — 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 Treasurer Janet Wall, appointed in 2022 and elected in 2024 to finish that term, appears unopposed for their first full term — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

The city treasurer oversees Monrovia's cash and investments and reports on the city's financial position — a technical, non-policymaking role. The term is four years.

With no opponent, the useful question is what background Wall brings rather than who to choose. Their record outside city government is in banking, not municipal finance specifically, and this would be their first full term after two years finishing a predecessor's.

## Janet Wall

The incumbent treasurer, appointed in August 2022 to fill the vacancy left by Steve Baker's death and elected in 2024 to serve the remainder of that term, now running for a full term of their own. Outside city government they bring over 40 years in the financial-services industry, including operational and lending-management roles at national banks and credit unions (per the city's official bio). Wall also serves as president of Monrovia Reads, Inc., a local literacy nonprofit, and treasurer of the Monrovia Public Library Foundation.

**Strengths:** Four decades of banking and lending-management experience, plus two years already in the seat since their August 2022 appointment.

**Trade-offs:** Wall's only elected service so far was finishing someone else's term; this is their first campaign for a full term of their own.

**Keep in mind:** City treasurer is a technical post — cash management and reporting, not policy — so Wall's banking background is the most directly relevant credential on this ballot for it.
