On the ballot

This person is Pittsburg's elections official and the custodian of the city's public records -- agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign-disclosure filings. A 4-year term.

Incumbent City Clerk Alice Evenson faces three challengers: Angel Rodriguez, LaToyya P. Ella Bordelon, and Melaine Apple Venenciano.

Pittsburg's City Clerk is the city's elections official and the custodian of its public records -- agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign-disclosure filings. It's an elected, 4-year-term office, separate from the City Manager's day-to-day administrative staff.

This is a general municipal election, not ranked-choice: whoever gets the most votes wins the seat outright, with no runoff.

Alice E. Evenson

The incumbent City Clerk; her filed ballot designation is simply "Incumbent." Independent local coverage from 2014 confirms she has held this office continuously since at least that election cycle -- more than a decade in the role. This dataset found no further biographical detail or 2026-specific platform coverage beyond that record.

Strengths

A long, independently confirmed tenure in the office -- more than a decade as of this cycle.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no independent (non-official, non-campaign-finance) reporting evaluating her record in the role.

Keep in mind

No 2026 campaign-finance figures were found for her campaign in this pass -- see the financial note below.

Angel Rodriguez

A challenger; their filed ballot designation is "Assistant District Secretary." This dataset searched the city's own site, Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, local news coverage, and general web search and found no campaign website, news coverage, or further biographical detail beyond that self-declared occupation.

Strengths

not established in the sourcing found for this race.

Trade-offs

with no located public record beyond their filed paperwork, voters have little beyond their name, their self-declared occupation, and the fact that they qualified for the ballot.

Keep in mind

this is a documented sourcing gap, not evidence against them -- a real, multi-method search turned up nothing further to report.

LaToyya P. Ella Bordelon

A challenger; her filed ballot designation is "Realtor/Notary Public." This dataset searched the city's own site, Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, local news coverage, and general web search and found no campaign website, news coverage, or further biographical detail beyond that self-declared occupation.

Strengths

not established in the sourcing found for this race, though her filed notary-public designation is at least adjacent to the record-keeping duties of the office she is seeking.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no located public record beyond her filed paperwork.

Keep in mind

this is a documented sourcing gap, not evidence against her -- a real, multi-method search turned up nothing further to report.

Melaine Apple Venenciano

A challenger; her filed ballot designation is "Clerk Services Director." This dataset searched the city's own site, Ballotpedia, Wikipedia, local news coverage, and general web search and found no campaign website, news coverage, or further detail confirming where she holds that title or any other biographical information beyond the self-declared designation itself.

Strengths

Her filed clerk-services designation is at least adjacent to the office she's seeking.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no located public record beyond her filed paperwork, and could not confirm the employer or scope behind that title.

Keep in mind

this is a documented sourcing gap, not evidence against her -- a real, multi-method search turned up nothing further to report.
