City of Suisun City

Suisun City Council

This person would hold one of two at-large seats on Suisun City's Council. The Council has five members in total. Members oversee the city budget, land use, and city staff. Suisun City also has a directly elected Mayor, who is not in this race.

Four candidates are running for two citywide seats on the Suisun City Council. Princess Washington and Jenalee Dawson are the incumbents. Katrina Garcia and Xenia Tom are the challengers. Vote for up to two. There is no primary.

Council seats are elected at large and citywide. Voters also elect a Mayor directly. That is a separate contest on this same ballot and not part of this race. Winners join the rest of Suisun City’s 5-member Council. The Council handles the city budget, land use and zoning, and oversight of city staff. Suisun City is a Solano County city of 29,518 residents as of the 2020 Census. A professional city manager runs daily operations. The county’s own ballot does not give an exact number of years for the term. No Suisun City resolution or notice could be found to confirm one. The city’s own site returned an access error to every attempt.

Two incumbents and two challengers are competing for two seats. The practical choice is whether either sitting Councilmember should be replaced. Both incumbents filed statements citing their time in office and their priorities. Both challengers are first-time candidates for city office. One runs on a youth focused platform. The other runs on small business and neighborhood themes. No candidate forum coverage or comparative reporting on this race was found. The candidates’ own filed statements are all there is. That fits the limited local news in a city this size.
