A Special Election to fill the District 2 City Council seat will be held on June 2, 2026. District 2 includes much of north Poway. The seat became vacant following the recall and subsequent resignation of Council Member Tony Blain.
The City Council voted to hold the election in June to coincide with the California Primary Election, helping to reduce election costs. As of this mailing, both Vanessa Springett, a current GVCA board member, and Anita Edmondson, a former GVCA board member, have indicated their intent to run for the District 2 seat. The candidate elected will serve the remainder of the current four-year term, which expires in November 2028. The official candidate filing period runs through March 6, 2026.
