## On the ballot

- **Yodit Glaze** — Incumbent

A nonpartisan office: candidates do not run as Democrats or Republicans, and no party appears on the ballot.

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. The term is four years, and the office 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 their 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 Glaze's 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.
