See who’s running for council seats in Modesto, Turlock and 7 other cities in Stanislaus

City council races are set in Modesto, Ceres, Hughson and Waterford, but several other Stanislaus County locales have not yet closed candidate filing.

The deadline was 5 p.m. Friday if an incumbent is seeking a new term in the Nov. 5 election. If not, candidates have until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14.

More details, based on city websites as of late Monday morning:

Modesto council: District 1 Councilwoman Rosa Escutia-Braaton is being challenged by former Councilman John Gunderson and transportation planner Joel Campos. District 3 Councilman Chris Ricci is running unopposed. District 6 Councilman David Wright is being challenged by Austin Grant, a member of the city’s Community Police Review Board.

Turlock council: District 2 incumbent Rebecka Monez is vying against Milton Trieweiler. District 4 incumbent Pam Franco is running for city treasurer, a mostly ceremonial role, so filing remains open for her council seat. Erika Phillips is the only candidate so far. Franco told the Turlock Journal that the new role would allow more time with her family.
