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. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use in this Mojave Desert city of about 135,000. The term is four years. 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:** He sits on the Planning Commission. His ballot title and the council's own record confirm it. His 2026 contributions jumped sharply. That suggests real fundraising momentum. **Trade-offs:** The removal push came from his own opponent. Marshall called it retaliation. Harriman called it a governance concern. No other coverage of him was found. **Keep in mind:** This is a contested, two-sided episode. It involves the two leading candidates in this race. It is not a settled fact about either one. Weigh 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." Their 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 them was found in this pass. **Strengths:** An auditing background is a distinct lens on city budgets and money. Neither rival's job offers the same view. **Trade-offs:** No news coverage or platform statement was found beyond Shamsrouf's ballot title. They have filed no Form 460 yet. So their fundraising and spending are unconfirmed. **Keep in mind:** A quiet campaign committee is not disqualifying this early in a filing cycle. But voters have less to go on for them 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:** He has served a full term on the council and as Mayor Pro Tem. He also has by far the largest war chest of any candidate in either Victorville race this cycle. **Trade-offs:** He pushed to remove a direct opponent from a city commission. He did that rather than campaign against him. No other coverage of his council record was found. **Keep in mind:** He used his post as Mayor Pro Tem to move against a sitting opponent. That is a different kind of campaign conduct than ordinary electioneering. Factor it in however you read the dispute. ## Sources 1.
