This is one contest. Enter your address to see every race on your November ballot, and keep track of your picks.

On the ballot

This person is South Gate's elections official and the custodian of the city's public records — agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign-disclosure filings. A 4-year term.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent City Clerk Yodit Glaze appears unopposed for another term — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

The city clerk runs municipal elections, keeps South Gate's official public records — agendas, minutes, contracts — and administers campaign-disclosure filings. A 4-year term, and the office that is South Gate's own election authority for this ballot.

With no opponent, the useful question is what the office does, not who to choose. The city's own description of the role is procedural and administrative rather than a matter of policy dispute.

Yodit Glaze

The incumbent City Clerk, unopposed for another term. The city's own description of the office lists her responsibilities as administering municipal elections, serving as secretary to the City Council and related city bodies, and managing the city's official legislative records and public-records requests.

Strengths

Already holding the office, with no documented controversy found.

Trade-offs

Running unopposed means her administration of the office faces no organized counter-argument this cycle.

Keep in mind

The clerk's job is largely procedural — running elections and keeping records straight — so continuity is close to the whole case for an incumbent running unopposed.
