Meet Kim Mang, The Unopposed Candidate for City Council
Welcome to the Election Center!
Greetings, readers, and welcome to Andra’s Election Center. (Please click the link for the full Election Center experience.)
On August 8th, two-term Ojai Mayor Betsy Stix and three-term City Councilwoman Suza Francina announced that neither will seek reelection. Theirs are the only Council seats up this election cycle. (Remember: a Council term is four years, a mayoral term is two years). The remaining three incumbent Council members, Rachel Lang, Leslie Rule, and Andy Whitman, were each elected in 2022. All will be up for reelection in 2026.1
Now, Kim Mang — an Ojai resident of more than 20 years — is running unopposed to represent Ojai’s District Four (currently represented by Francina).
