City of West Covina

West Covina City Council, District 5

This person holds your district's seat on West Covina's 5-member City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land-use decisions. The term is four years. Council members choose one of their own to serve as mayor, presiding over meetings but casting only one vote like any other member.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent Councilman Tony Wu was first elected in 2018 and reelected in 2022. He is unopposed for a third term, so your vote here will not change the outcome.

This person holds one of five district seats on West Covina's City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land-use decisions. The term is four years. Council members choose one of their own to serve as mayor, presiding over meetings but casting only one vote like any other member.

With no opponent, the useful question is what the officeholder has done, not who to choose. Wu has held the District 5 seat since 2018 and survived a 2024 recall effort — voters who want the fuller record should weigh both his stated priorities and that unresolved controversy.
