In 2020, Districts 1 and 3 are up for election in the City of Carson.
Current Councilman Jawane Hilton is running for a spot in the newly created District 1 seat. Former Councilman Elito Santarina, who lost re-election in 2018, attorney Vincent Kim and college professor and attorney Charles Thomas are challenging Hilton for the spot.
Councilman Cedric Hicks is vying for the District 3 seat against small business owner Brandi Williams-Murdock and Carson Planning Commissioner Daniel Valdez.
Carson Accountability and Transparency (CAT) sent a questionnaire to all seven council candidates seeking their views on the COVID-19 response, the City budget deficit, and Measure K, the city’s proposed 3/4 cent tax.
All candidates except former councilman Santarina returned a completed questionnaire. You can view all the candidates’ responses, information on Measure K, a recap of CAT’s Supervisor forum and other election information on the CAT website at carsoncat.org/election2020
