The City Clerk keeps Perris's official municipal records, administers city elections, and processes public-records requests, elected at-large citywide to a four-year term.

No independent biography or platform statement was found for Salazar beyond the city's own roster record confirming her incumbency and term expiration. The two candidate-filing PDFs linked from the city's election page redirect to the city's main domain, which returned HTTP 403 on every direct fetch attempt, so this cannot be independently expanded on further.
