Four of nine incumbents running for re-election in the city of Long Beach were appointed to new four-year terms on Tuesday because all were running unopposed.

First District Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez, City Attorney Charles Parkin, City Prosecutor Doug Haubert and City Auditor Laura Doud will serve in their respective positions through 2022. Gonzalez and Parkin were elected to their first terms in 2014; Haubert was first elected in 2010; and Doud has been in office since 2006.

The incumbents needed to be appointed to their positions no later than Thursday to avoid going to an election, per city law. In a staff report, City Clerk Monique DeLaGarza said cancelling elections for these four races could result in a cost savings to the city.

There’s still plenty to pay attention to in the April 10 election, as the mayoral race and four seats in the odd-numbered council districts will be decided by voters.

Running for mayor are Robert Garcia, elected to his first term in 2014, and James Henry “Henk” Conn, a substitute teacher whose platform advocates for rent control amid a statewide housing crisis. Prior to being elected mayor, Garcia served as 1st District councilman from 2009 to 2014. Two potential challengers backed out of the race before the filing deadline.

Here is a breakdown of the candidates who qualified for the four remaining council races:

District 3

Councilwoman Suzie Price is seeking a second term in the 3rd District, which includes several upscale communities in southeast Long Beach such as Belmont Shore, Belmont Heights and University Park Estates. Price works as senior prosecutor for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. In her candidate statement, Price said her district has made tremendous progress since she was elected to office four years ago and she wants to continue the momentum.

Challenging Price are Gordana Kajer, an international trade specialist who says she wants to give a new voice to residents, and Robert D. Savin, who did not provide any information to the city clerk’s office about who he is or how to contact him. Kajer said she would bring transparency to city financials and work to better the community outreach process. She has been critical of efforts to engage citizens on several city projects.

District 5

Councilwoman Stacy Mungo is also asking voters to re-elect her to a second term. Mungo won election when former Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske termed out in 2014 and lost a bid for mayor that same year.

Mungo is facing three challengers: community activist Corliss Lee, who recently formed a neighborhood group to oppose the Land Use Element; former Harbor Commissioner Rich Dines, who said he would also oppose any increases to height and density in the plan; and John Osborn, who said he too would seek to protect the area from decisions that would compromise neighborhood character.

It’s shaping up to be a race centered on housing and development.

District 7

Councilman Roberto Uranga faces the largest field of opponents this spring, with four candidates hoping to unseat the first-term incumbent.

Running to represent the 7th District are: Jared Milrad, a New York native who started a nonprofit to help low- and moderate-income families afford legal services; Kevin C. Shin, who wants to see safer streets and more affordable housing; and Oscar Delacruz and Chris Sereno, neither of whom submitted candidate statements to the city clerk.

District 9

The race in the 9th District is off to an odd start after a fake website was created for candidate Mineo Gonzalez, Vice Mayor Rex Richardson‘s only challenger. Gonzalez ran an unsuccessful bid for mayor in 2014. The website appeared to concede the race to Richardson and included links to the incumbent’s website. His actual campaign website can be found at keepitlongbeach.com.

Richardson has pioneered a renaissance in North Long Beach over the past four years. He says he is seeking re-election to continue building a more inclusive city.
