- Mayor / City Manager
- Mayor Oscar D. Montoya Sr., re-elected to a third and final allowed term (May 2026); Interim City Manager Jonas A. Gonzalez, the Assistant City Manager appointed to the interim role after City Manager Alberto Perez resigned (accepted at a special council meeting around August 20, 2026) — correcting an earlier record that did not note the interim status; the city's own website had not yet been updated to reflect the change as of this research.
