City of Parlier
Parlier City Council, District 4
This person would hold one of Parlier's four district-elected City Council seats. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. Parlier is a Fresno County city of about 14,600 residents. An appointed City Manager runs daily government. The term is four years. Parlier's Mayor is elected directly by voters citywide. Some other small Fresno County cities instead let the council choose the mayor. Parlier has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.
Incumbent Diego Garza faces one challenger, Andrew Lopez, for this seat.

They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use for this Fresno County city of about 14,600 residents, under a City Council-City Manager form of government. The term is four years. Parlier's Mayor is elected directly and at-large by voters citywide, rather than chosen by the Council as in some other small Fresno County cities, and the city has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.
Whichever candidate gets the most votes wins -- no runoff or ranked-choice voting is used. This dataset found no independent biographical detail for either candidate beyond their filed occupations, despite a genuine multi-method search (Bing web and news search for each candidate's name, Ballotpedia, the city's own site).
