Community advocate Bryan Hodge Vasquez announced on July 26 that he will challenge incumbent Council Member Pierina Sanchez for the District 14 seat.
Sanchez was elected in 2022 for a term that runs through the end of 2025. With the municipal primary election about a year away, many candidates like Hodge Vasquez are planning now for what is sure to be a hot election cycle with all 51 council seats — plus the mayoralty — up for grabs.
