The Alhambra City Council is projected to receive two new council members on December 13 after their swearing in: Amy J. Wong in District 1 and Melissa Michelson in District 5.
With official results still being tabulated, it is clear by the number of votes that have been counted and the margins received that both will be joining the Alhambra City Council after December’s swearing in. These election results are particularly notable as two new Council members are joining the five member body at the same time and Michelson will be taking the place of current Mayor Adele Andrade-Stadler. Ross Maza was also reelected to District 3, after running unopposed.
Each councilmember will serve a nine month term as mayor within those four years, based on the vote of the council. Due to this rotation schedule, when Michelson is sworn in she will be sworn in as council member and then immediately take the role of mayor until May of 2027.
