City of Westminster
Westminster City Council, District 4
This person holds your district's seat on Westminster's City Council. The council has five members. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use. Westminster also has a citywide elected Mayor. An appointed city manager runs day to day operations. Not all four council districts are elected the same year. Only Districts 1 and 4 have terms expiring in 2026. Districts 2 and 3 are on the other half of the cycle. The term is four years.
Incumbent NamQuan Nguyen is running for re-election. Three challengers are running against them, Kelly Daniels, Loan Nguyen, and Khai Dao. Whoever gets the most votes on November 3 wins, with no runoff.
This person holds District 4's seat on Westminster's 5-member City Council. They vote on city ordinances, the budget, and land use, alongside the citywide-elected Mayor and an appointed city manager who runs day-to-day operations. Not all four council districts are elected the same year -- only Districts 1 and 4 have terms expiring in 2026. The term is four years.
NamQuan Nguyen is the incumbent, confirmed both by the county's own Proof List and independently by Wikipedia's current Westminster council roster (which renders their name "Nam Quan Nguyen" -- the same person, cross-checked by office and 2022 election year against how they filed with the county). No platform information was independently confirmed for any of the four candidates despite a real search effort -- a documented gap, not a claim that no such material exists.
Kelly Daniels
Kelly Daniels' ballot designation is "Businesswoman." No campaign website, news coverage, or other source describes their background or plans.
