Ten candidates submitted their names to run for Altadena Town Council by 5 PM today, with five incumbents opting not to run again and the likelihood of only two races in the June 6 election.
According to council chair Gino Sund, the next step is for the names to be vetted Tuesday by the election committee -- checked for proper address, census tract, and such -- and the list will be approved by the town council at its next meeting May 19.
Those who entered the race are:
- Census Tract 4601
Phil Barela - Census Tract 4602
Herbert H. Simmons
Bill Westphal - Census Tract 4603.01
Dennis E. Bridwell - Census Tract 4603.02
Kenneth Roberts (incumbent, appointed) - Census Tract 4610
Gene R. Campbell (incumbent) - Census Tract 4611
Gaurav Malhotra
Cynthia Tilleman - Census Tract 4612
