City of Simi Valley

Simi Valley City Council, District 2

This person would hold one of Simi Valley's four district seats. They vote on city laws, the budget, and land use. Simi Valley also has a directly elected Mayor. An appointed City Manager runs daily operations. Simi Valley moved from at-large to district-based elections in 2020. The term is four years.

This is an open seat because incumbent Mike Judge is running for Mayor instead. Engineer Sam Cohen and business owner Richard Perini are competing for his District 2 seat.

Mike Judge has held this seat since November 2010, most recently serving as Mayor Pro Tem in 2023. He's a candidate for Mayor this cycle instead of seeking re-election here -- see the Mayor contest for his profile. That leaves District 2 open for the first time in over a decade.
