City of Monrovia

Mayor of Monrovia

This person presides over City Council meetings and represents Monrovia publicly. They vote as one of five members on the budget and city laws. An appointed city manager runs day-to-day government. The term is two years.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent Mayor Becky A. Shevlin joined the council in 2009. They became mayor in 2022. They are unopposed for a second term. So your vote won't change the outcome.

Monrovia's mayor presides over City Council meetings and represents the city publicly, but votes as one of five members on the budget and city ordinances, the same as any other councilmember. The term is two years, half the length of a council seat's four years. Day-to-day city government runs through an appointed city manager, not the mayor's office.

With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what the officeholder has done and what to watch next. An unopposed return means accountability for this seat over the next two years runs through the council and the public rather than through the ballot.
