San Gabriel City Clerk

Draft candidate list — early preview until the state’s official list publishes on August 27, 2026.

This is one contest. Enter your address to see every race on your November ballot, and keep track of your picks.

On the ballot

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

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent City Clerk Thu "Julie" Nguyen appears unopposed for reelection on the November 3, 2026 ballot — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

The city clerk runs San Gabriel's elections, keeps the city's official public records — agendas, minutes, contracts — and administers campaign-disclosure filings for local candidates. A 4-year term.

With no opponent, the useful question is what the office has done and what to watch, not who to choose. Accountability for this seat over the next four years runs through the council and the public rather than through the ballot.

Thu "Julie" Nguyen

Thu "Julie" Nguyen is the incumbent City Clerk, seeking reelection unopposed. The city's own Notice of Offices and Nominations confirms nomination papers were furnished to her as the sitting incumbent for this cycle, and San Gabriel's staff directory lists her as City Clerk (Elected), distinct from the department's three appointed staff.

Strengths

Already serving as the sitting Clerk, so she carries direct experience with the office's elections and records duties into this term.

Trade-offs

No independent biography, news coverage, or campaign material beyond the city's own staff directory and election records was found for this pass.

Keep in mind

The clerk's job is largely procedural — running elections and keeping records straight — so continuity in the seat is most of what an unopposed return means for this office.
