Turlock City Councilwoman Rebecka Monez is set to run for re-election in District 2 after filing her paperwork with the city clerk’s office Friday — the last possible day for the incumbents to do so.

Since Monez — who defeated Gil Esquer and Ruben Wegner for the seat in 2020 — filed his paperwork, putting an incumbent in the race, the filing period for District 2 is closed.

The filing periods for District 4 and city treasurer, both without an incumbent seeking re-election, are automatically extended to Wednesday.

Vice Mayor Pam Franco, the current District 4 council member, will seek to win the treasurer’s seat in November, while current treasurer Diana Lewis is not seeking re-election.

Monez will be pitted against Milt Trieweiler, a community activist and a staple at City Council meetings, who has long argued that Monez does not live in the district she represents.

Monez, meanwhile, has made the renovation of Columbia Park’s pool a cornerstone of her election platform.

Overall, the pool project will cost about $9.1 million, which takes into account construction, demolition of the old pool and purchase of pre-built structures for a concession stand, restrooms and a facility/storage cabin.

The city is covering nearly $5.1 million of the project with money from its cannabis pilot program and using another $3.8 million in leftover funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. A grant from the Turlock Irrigation District will cover another $200,000.

Ricardo Lopez Martinez pulled papers July 30 to be a candidate in the District 2 race, but he did not file the papers by Friday’s deadline, according to the city’s website.

As it stands, Erika Phillips is the lone candidate running for the District 4 council seat after former Pittsburg Mayor Frank Aiello opted not to run. If no other candidate emerges before Wednesday, Phillips will run unopposed.

Michael Abram, husband of Councilwoman Cassandra Abram, filed papers to run for treasurer, and with no incumbent in that race, he has until Wednesday to file the paperwork. If he doesn’t file by Wednesday, Franco will run unopposed.

Mayor Amy Bublak and Councilmembers Kevin Bixel (District 1) and Abram (District 3) are not up for re-election until 2026.

Franco’s departure from the council and Triieweiler’s challenge to Monez have the potential to raise the council’s voting dynamics as Bublak stands to lose one, and possibly two, of his legislative allies.
