City of Tracy
Tracy City Council, District 3
This person would hold one of four district seats on Tracy's City Council, alongside a directly elected, citywide Mayor. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use for this San Joaquin County city of about 93,000 residents per the 2020 Census. City Manager Midori Lichtwardt runs day-to-day operations under Council direction. The term is four years. This is Tracy's first-ever district-based Council election, adopted Jan. 16, 2026 in response to statewide California Voting Rights Act litigation risk. District 3 covers the middle of Tracy, including downtown, extending south to Valpico Road, with Williams Middle School at its western edge.
District 3 pits incumbent Dan Evans against two challengers. Evans was elected in 2022. The challengers are Ameni Alexander and Ametrius Sidney. Councilman Mateo Bedolla also lives in the district. He is running for Mayor instead.
