On the ballot

This person represents District 4 on Victorville's five-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land use in this Mojave Desert city of about 135,000. A 4-year term. Victorville has no separately elected Mayor -- the council chooses a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from among its own members each December.

Incumbent Bob Harriman faces Derek Marshall and Kassandra Shamsrouf on the November 3, 2026 ballot for Victorville's District 4 City Council seat. Whoever gets the most votes wins outright -- there is no primary or runoff.

This person represents District 4 on Victorville's five-member City Council: city ordinances, the budget, and land use in this Mojave Desert city of about 135,000. A 4-year term. Victorville has no separately elected Mayor -- the council chooses a Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem from among its own members each December. Victorville moved from at-large to by-district council elections beginning with the November 2022 general, the same election that first put this seat on the ballot.

Marshall and Harriman have a documented direct conflict from this same election cycle: Harriman, as Mayor Pro Tem, moved in February 2026 to consider removing Marshall from his separate seat on the city's Planning Commission after Marshall joined a local high-school student walkout protesting federal ICE enforcement. The council voted 4-1 to schedule that discussion; Marshall ultimately kept his commission seat.

Derek Marshall

Derek Marshall is a candidate for Victorville's District 4 council seat whose filed ballot designation is "Small Business Owner." He is also a sitting Planning Commissioner, appointed by Councilwoman Leslie Irving. On February 13, 2026, he joined a Victor Valley High School student walkout protesting federal ICE enforcement; four days later, Mayor Pro Tem and rival candidate Bob Harriman moved to schedule a council discussion on removing him from the Planning Commission over it, saying his participation "communicates a disregard for our local governance structure." The council voted 4-1 to schedule that discussion, with only Irving (who appointed him) dissenting. Marshall called the move "another Republican coordinated political attack" on Facebook and said he joined the march "to make sure they were safe"; he ultimately kept his commission seat. His 2026 campaign committee reported $31,424.94 in contributions for the January-June 2026 period -- up sharply from $5,025.10 for all of 2025 -- against $27,646.86 in expenditures, leaving an $8,104.44 cash balance.

Strengths

Sitting Planning Commission experience, confirmed by his ballot designation and the council's own record; a sharp jump in 2026 contributions suggests real fundraising momentum.

Trade-offs

The removal push came from his own opponent -- read either as retaliation, as Marshall called it, or as a governance concern, as Harriman framed it; no other independent coverage of him was found.

Keep in mind

This is a genuinely contested, two-sided episode between the two leading candidates in this race, not a settled fact about either one -- worth weighing both accounts rather than either alone.

Kassandra Shamsrouf

Kassandra Shamsrouf is a candidate for Victorville's District 4 council seat whose filed ballot designation is "Auditor." Her 2026 campaign committee has registered (Form 410, filed July 2026, amended August 2026) but had filed no Form 460 as of this retrieval, so no dollar figures are available. No independent news coverage of her was found in this pass.

Strengths

An auditing background is a distinct professional lens on municipal budgets and finances compared to either rival's occupation.

Trade-offs

No independent news coverage or platform statement was found beyond her ballot designation; with no Form 460 filed yet, this campaign's fundraising and spending are unconfirmed.

Keep in mind

A late-forming or still-quiet campaign committee isn't itself disqualifying this early in a filing cycle, but it does mean voters have less to go on for her than for either opponent.

Bob Harriman

Bob Harriman is Victorville's incumbent District 4 Councilmember and the city's Mayor Pro Tem, first elected in a close November 2022 race against Lizet Angulo and sworn in that December alongside then-Mayor Debra Jones -- the same Jones whose later-vacated District 2 seat Corrine Mora was appointed to fill. His filed ballot designation is "Victorville Council Member." As Mayor Pro Tem, he moved in February 2026 to consider removing his own District 4 opponent, Derek Marshall, from the city's Planning Commission over Marshall's participation in a student walkout protesting ICE enforcement; the council voted 4-1 to schedule that discussion, and Marshall ultimately kept the seat. His 2026 campaign committee reported $13,796 in contributions for the January-June 2026 period against just $605.90 in expenditures, leaving a $28,588.62 cash balance -- the largest war chest of any candidate in either Victorville council race -- plus two separate late-contribution reports filed in March and August 2026.

Strengths

A full term of sitting council and Mayor Pro Tem experience, plus by far the largest campaign war chest of any candidate in either Victorville race this cycle.

Trade-offs

His push to remove a direct opponent from an unrelated city commission, rather than campaigning against him, is worth weighing on its own terms; no other coverage of his council record was found.

Keep in mind

Using an incumbent's institutional position (Mayor Pro Tem, motion authority) against a sitting opponent is a genuinely different kind of campaign conduct than ordinary electioneering -- something worth factoring in however you read the underlying dispute.
