Gilroy’s New District Elections | California News

Gilroy’s city council elections are heating up with a major shift to district-based voting this November, pitting eight diverse candidates against each other across three districts — while the mayor’s race stays at-large until 2028. In District Four, paralegal Diana Sanchez Bentz and former councilmember Fred Tovar clash over economic development, infrastructure, and transparency. District Five sees incumbent Tom Cline defending his seat against newcomer Joseph Garcia, who champions seniors and zoning reform, and Christina Tovar, a CPA pushing for fiscal responsibility. District Six features Rebeca Armendariz, a veteran councilmember focused on youth and housing; Elizabeth Bracco, daughter of a past councilmember, highlighting community and finance; and Brad Starks, a marketer tackling cost of living and safety. With voters now choosing reps for specific neighborhoods, this election promises sharper accountability and a louder chorus of local voices shaping Gilroy’s future.
