Four candidates are vying for three open seats on the Signal Hill City Council in the upcoming November election.
Signal Hill uses an at-large voting system, so all four candidates will appear on the ballots of Signal Hill residents, who will then choose which three they want to elect. The three candidates who each receive the most votes will be elected and serve a four-year term. The other two councilmembers, Tina Hansen and Keir Jones, were elected in 2022, and still have two years left in office.
Two incumbents, Robert Copeland and Lori Woods, are running to retain their seats on the city council. The third seat is currently held by Edward Wilson, who plans to retire from the council after this term ends.
There will also be an election for Signal Hill City Clerk, but the only candidate running is the current city clerk, Daritza Gonzalez.
The graphic provides a breakdown of the political experience, statements submitted and donors for each candidate in an effort to provide unbiased information that Signal Hill residents can use to make their decision.

In your copy/paste of the intro, you forgot to replace the word “judges” with “city counsel members”.
