Review note: Robertson Insurance's own site: a family-owned Selma agency "celebrating 20 years of service" at 1948 High St, Suite 100 -- names Scott Robertson as CEO, holding insurance credentials CPCU, ARM, AAI, AU, AIS, and CRIS, and separately names Sarah Guerra, Selma's District 3 incumbent and Mayor Pro Tem, as the agency's Vice President -- an independently found professional connection between the two incumbents, consistent with Guerra's own county filing (contact email "RGINSURANCE@SBCGLOBAL.NET"), reported here as a biographical fact about their shared employer. may have more bias because it is an advocacy voter guide compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources.

City of Selma

Selma has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.

Incumbent Sarah Guerra is Selma's Mayor Pro Tem. She faces challenger Louis Franco for the District 3 council seat. Whoever gets the most votes wins.
