City of Reedley

Reedley City Council, District 2

This person would hold one of Reedley's five district City Council seats. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. Reedley is a Fresno County city of about 25,200 people. A council and city manager run the city. The term is four years. Reedley's Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore already hold two seats. Those are District 1 and District 2. Neither post is a separate citywide office. This cycle's ballot has no separate Mayor race. Reedley also has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.

Five candidates are running for this open seat. Incumbent Mary L. Fast did not file for reelection. They are Eddie Jimenez, Lee Ky, Luis Plaza Muniz, Sara M. Montemayor, and Joe Garza.

This person would hold one of Reedley's five district-elected City Council seats. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use for this Fresno County city of about 25,200 residents, under a Council-City Manager form of government. The term is four years. Reedley's Mayor and Mayor Pro Tempore currently hold two of the five district seats (District 1 and District 2) rather than a separately elected citywide office -- this cycle's ballot carries no separate Mayor contest -- and the city has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer either.

Whichever candidate gets the most votes wins -- no runoff or ranked-choice voting is used. This is the district's outgoing Mayor Pro Tempore's seat: Mary Fast did not file to keep it, so all five candidates are newcomers to this seat.
