Windsor Town Council, District 4

This person would represent one of Windsor's four Town Council districts. They vote on town laws, the budget, and land use. Windsor is a Sonoma County town of 26,344 people. It incorporated in 1992. A town manager runs daily operations, while the Council sets policy. Council seats have been elected by district since 2020. Before that, seats were elected at-large. The term is four years. The Mayor is elected separately, at-large, for two years. Districts 1 and 4 are up this November. Districts 2 and 3 are not up again until 2028.

Only one candidate qualified for Windsor's District 4 council seat. Meredith Rennie is unopposed. Rennie is a certified public accountant. This contest is settled. Your vote here does not change the outcome.

This seat is one of Windsor's four district-elected Town Council seats. Windsor is a Sonoma County town of 26,344, per the 2020 Census. It incorporated in 1992 and runs under a council-manager system. Councilmembers set the budget, ordinances, and land-use policy. A professional town manager runs day-to-day operations. Council seats are elected by district to four-year terms. That system began with the November 2020 election. The Mayor is separately elected at-large to a two-year term. Districts 1 and 4 are up this November. Districts 2 and 3 are not up again until 2028.

The seat is open because Tanya Potter is running for Mayor this cycle. She is the sitting District 4 councilmember and Vice Mayor. She is not seeking another Council term. See the Mayor contest on this ballot. A second name, Jessie Poshepny Vallery, appears against District 4 on the town's own Candidates page. It is marked "Did not file" with "no qualification as candidate achieved." That is an attempted filing that was not completed, not a second qualified candidate. With only one candidate qualified, the useful question is not who to choose. It is what to watch once Rennie takes office. A candidate statement was filed and posted for Rennie. So the town printed this as a live, on-ballot contest. It did not cancel the contest and appoint Rennie directly. California law makes that option available for single-filer seats, but Windsor did not use it here.

Meredith Rennie

Meredith Rennie's ballot title is "Certified Public Accountant." Rennie cites over a decade of local governance work. That covers the Windsor Planning Commission. It also covers the Parks and Recreation Commission. Rennie says their financial background is central to the Town's budget deficit.
