Review note: Narip Josan's own campaign site for Selma Mayor: describes him as a 25-year Selma resident with a son and daughter in Selma Unified schools, dual master's degrees (business administration and public health), service on the district's School Site Council and in an oversight role for Measures L and O, and a stated "JOSAN" platform (Jobs, Opportunities, Safety, Amenities/Affordability, Neighborhoods). and 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 they are advocacy voter guides compared to other formal government and nonprofit journalism sources.

City of Selma

Selma Mayor

This person would serve as Selma's Mayor. The Mayor is one of five City Council seats. Unlike the other four, the Mayor is elected citywide, not by district. The job covers city laws, the budget, and land use. Selma is a Fresno County city of about 24,500 residents. The term is four years. The Council picks a Mayor Pro Tem from its district members. Voters do not choose that title directly. Selma has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.

Incumbent Mayor Scott Robertson faces three challengers for Selma's directly elected Mayor seat. They are Narip Josan, Rosemary Alanis, and Theresa H. Guzman Salas. Whoever gets the most votes wins.

This person would serve as Selma's Mayor, one of five seats on the City Council, but elected separately and citywide rather than by district. The job covers city ordinances, the budget, and land use for this Fresno County city of about 24,500 residents. The term is four years. The Council's other four seats are chosen by district, and the sitting Council selects a Mayor Pro Tem from among its own district members rather than voters choosing that title directly; Selma has no elected City Clerk or City Treasurer.

Robertson is the sitting Mayor, running for another term as CEO of a family insurance agency he leads with the District 3 incumbent, Sarah Guerra, as Vice President -- also on this cycle's ballot. Josan, a 25-year Selma resident with two children in the local school district, is campaigning on a platform they call JOSAN (Jobs, Opportunities, Safety, Amenities/Affordability, Neighborhoods). This dataset found no independent reporting, campaign website, or stated platform for Alanis or Guzman Salas beyond their filed ballot designations.
