In the upcoming November 8, 2022 election, Belmont has two contested races: its first at-large (citywide) mayor, and the City Council member for District 1. After vetting the candidates, including in-person discussions with each of them, we wholeheartedly endorse Julia Mates for Mayor, Gina Latimerlo for District 1 City Council member, and Robin Pang-Maganaris for District 3.
