## On the ballot

- **Kevin Sawkins** — 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 Treasurer Kevin Sawkins 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 treasurer oversees San Gabriel's cash and investments and reports on the city's financial position — a technical, non-policymaking role. 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.

## Kevin Sawkins

Kevin Sawkins is the incumbent City Treasurer, seeking reelection unopposed. The city's own Notice of Offices and Nominations confirms nomination papers were furnished to Sawkins as the sitting incumbent for this cycle. Unlike the City Clerk's department, San Gabriel's own staff directory lists no separate City Treasurer department or staff, consistent with Treasurer being a standalone elected office rather than a staffed city department.

**Strengths:** Already serving as the sitting Treasurer, so they carry direct experience with the office's cash-management and reporting duties into this term.

**Trade-offs:** No independent biography, news coverage, or campaign material beyond the city's own election records was found for this pass.

**Keep in mind:** Treasurer is a technical post — cash management and reporting, not policy — so continuity in the seat is most of what an unopposed return means for this office.
