City of Reedley

Reedley City Council, District 5 (Short Term)

This person would hold Reedley's District 5 City Council seat. This term runs only through December 2026, a short two-year term. Other Reedley district seats serve the usual four-year term. This seat is short because it was filled earlier by appointment, not election. The job covers city ordinances, the budget, and land use.

Only one candidate, Dustin Brook Dobbins, qualified for this short-term seat. A second filer, Emily J. Medina-Delgado, did not qualify. He is unopposed.

This person would hold Reedley's District 5 City Council seat. The term runs only through December 2026. That is a short 2-year term. Reedley's other district seats carry the usual 4-year term. The term is shorter because someone now holds the seat by appointment to a vacancy, not by election. The job covers city ordinances, the budget, and land use. Reedley is a Fresno County city of about 25,200 residents. It uses a Council-City Manager form of government.

The seat's current holder is Christopher Arriaga. He reached it by appointment to a vacancy. County records show he did not file to run in this election. Two people did file. Only Dustin Brook Dobbins qualified. The county's own Candidate List flags Emily J. Medina-Delgado's filing as "Not Qualified." No further detail on why was found. Because only one candidate qualified, Dobbins is unopposed. His election is a formality. Your vote here does not change the outcome. It is still counted.

Dustin Brook Dobbins

Dustin Brook Dobbins is the only qualified candidate for this short-term seat. His filed occupation is "Loss Prevention Agent." He did not file a candidate statement. No other background was found for him.
