Pomona City Council, District 2

This person holds your district's seat on Pomona's 6-member City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use, alongside the directly elected Mayor. The term is four years.

No candidate won a majority in the June 2 primary. So incumbent Victor Preciado and challenger Jacky Elizalde face off on November 3. The same two ran against each other for this seat in 2018, when Preciado won.

The winner serves a 4-year term as one of six district councilmembers on Pomona's City Council, voting on the citywide budget, land-use and zoning decisions, and city ordinances alongside the directly elected Mayor. Pomona's Charter requires a majority to win outright in the primary; short of that, the top two advance to November, which is why this seat — and not the city's other two council seats also on June's ballot — is on your November ballot.

With an eight-year incumbent on the ballot, the choice is a referendum on their record: continue the district projects and park upgrades Preciado points to, or hand the seat to Elizalde, who argues her multi-level government background — city, county, and federal — is what the district needs next.

Victor Preciado

Victor Preciado is Pomona's incumbent District 2 councilmember, first elected in 2018. They are running on park revitalization, street repairs, and youth mentorship. They led the June primary with about 45% of the vote.

Jacky Elizalde

Jacky Elizalde is a longtime Pomona resident and challenger for the District 2 seat. She is running on affordable housing, public safety, and after school programs. She finished second in the June primary with about 33% of the vote.
