This person holds your district's seat on Santee's City Council. The council has five members, plus a citywide elected Mayor. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. An appointed city manager runs day to day operations. The term is four years.
Incumbent Ronn Hall faces challenger Eddie Vandiver for Santee City Council, District 2. Whoever gets the most votes on November 3 wins. There is no runoff.
This person holds District 2's seat on Santee's 5-member City Council, alongside the citywide-elected Mayor. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use, with day-to-day operations run by an appointed city manager. The term is four years.
East County Magazine calls this the more competitive of Santee's two races. Hall, first elected in 2014 and unopposed in 2022, is seeking a third full term on a record of institutional experience and a long endorsement list; Vandiver, a local sports-facility executive and the father of school-aged children, argues Hall has grown complacent and that no one currently on the council has kids in Santee's schools. The two also split on the 1% sales-tax measure on this same ballot (data-only in this dataset) -- Hall cast the council's lone vote against putting it before voters, while Vandiver says they support it, framing their objection as being about giving voters the choice rather than the tax itself.
Ronn Hall
Ronn Hall is the incumbent and current Vice Mayor. He was first elected in 2014. His priorities are public safety, a balanced budget, street paving, and reducing homelessness. He cast the only council vote against putting a sales tax increase on this ballot.
