On the ballot

San Pablo's City Treasurer is a separately elected, citywide office with a 4-year term: the office safeguards city funds, depositing them into the city's bank accounts daily, and reports monthly to the City Council on cash balances and 30-day funding adequacy.

Incumbent City Treasurer Viviana Toledo is running unopposed for a new term; she was the only candidate who qualified by the filing deadline.

San Pablo's City Treasurer is a separately elected, citywide office with a 4-year term: the office safeguards city funds, depositing them into the city's bank accounts daily, and reports monthly to the City Council on cash balances and 30-day funding adequacy.

The city's own Notice of Offices and Nominations and its '2026 Campaign Docs Combined' filings bundle together confirm no one else filed FPPC paperwork for City Treasurer this cycle, so the office is uncontested rather than merely unopposed-by-omission.

Viviana Toledo

The incumbent, first elected City Treasurer in November 2010 and now seeking a new term. A San Pablo resident since 1989 with over 26 years of accounting, payroll, and administrative experience, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and an Associate in Applied Science in Accounting, and has been a California Notary Public since 2002; she is bilingual in English and Spanish. Her community service includes serving as Fiscal Agent and Treasurer for the Cinco de Mayo Parade through the San Pablo-Manzanillo Sister City Committee (since 2014) and as a member of San Pablo Adopt-A-Family (since 2008). Her Statement of Economic Interests (FPPC Form 700) discloses a real-property interest in Yuba City, in the form's second-lowest of four fair-market-value brackets.

Strengths

16 years in the office already (first elected 2010), with a professional accounting background matched to the role's cash-management duties.

Trade-offs

This dataset found no independent reporting evaluating her recent terms -- what's documented here comes from the city's own page and her state filing, not outside scrutiny.

Keep in mind

With no opponent, this race functions as a retention question rather than a comparison between candidates.
