San Juan Capistrano City Councilmember Sergio Farias recently announced his campaign to run again for his District 1 seat.
Farias made the announcement on Monday, July 20, on social media and confirmed the announcement with The Capistrano Dispatch after a council meeting the next day.
“It’s been an honor to serve as your Councilmember for District 1 the last four years and serving the city as your Mayor,” Farias said. “We’ve accomplished a lot together, but there’s still so much more to do!”
The General Municipal Election takes place on November 3. The filing period to run for SJC City Council (Districts 1 and 5) ends on Friday, August 7. The deadline extends to Wednesday, August 12, if an incumbent is not running for reelection and does not file papers by the August 7 deadline.
Brian L. Maryott occupies the District 5 seat. Maryott is currently running for Congressman Mike Levin’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
John Alpay and Howard Hart have announced their campaigns for the District 5 seat.
Candidates must be registered voters and reside in either District 1 or District 5 in San Juan Capistrano, a press release from the city said.
