Walnut Creek's City Treasurer is elected on its own, citywide. The term is four years. Walnut Creek is a General Law city. So its Treasurer holds the default duties state law sets for the office. The Treasurer receives the city's money and keeps it safe. The Treasurer also files a written monthly report with the City Clerk and City Council. That report covers receipts, disbursements, and fund balances. The duties come from California Government Code Sections 41001 and 41004.
The county's own post-certification candidate records confirm no one else filed for City Treasurer this cycle. The city's own Elections page confirms it too. So the office is uncontested, not merely unopposed by omission.
Ronald Cassano
Cassano holds this job now. They are seeking another term. Their ballot title is simply "Incumbent." They filed for the ballot on time. They qualified on July 22, 2026. The city's own Elections page confirms this. It says they were issued nomination papers as the sitting Treasurer.
