## On the ballot

- **Thu "Julie" Nguyen** — Incumbent

A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot.

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. The term is four years.

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 Nguyen as the sitting incumbent for this cycle, and San Gabriel's staff directory lists them as City Clerk (Elected), distinct from the department's three appointed staff.

**Strengths:** Already serving as the sitting Clerk, so they carry 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.
