Council Candidates Finalized for November

On Nov. 6 the City of Carson is holding its General Municipal Election for electing two city council members, with incumbents Lula Davis-Holmes and Elito Santarina running for re-election in a field of nine candidates.


The City was also scheduled to hold elections for both City Clerk and City Treasurer, but no one filed or qualified to run against incumbents Donesia Gause-Aldana or Monica Cooper, positioning both for additional four-year terms.

Lula Davis-Holmes, an incumbent councilmember first elected in 2007

Jim Dear, an educator and notary public, who previously served as Mayor and City Clerk from 2001-2016
