## Key findings
- **Three contested districts.** District 2: incumbent Allison Lee vs. Jessica Navarro and David Ellis. District 3: incumbent Cameron Gregg vs. Jacqueline Maheata Tahauri and Nando Monarrez. **District 4 is open** because appointed Mayor Brigit Bennington isn't running: Erin Baum, Leticia Cisneros and Darrel Sauceda.

- In 2022 Hesperia skipped its election entirely: two incumbents were unopposed and a third seat was filled by appointment. This year all three seats on the ballot are contested. [^3]
