City Council Nomination Period Extended

Council applications are now accepted until Wednesday, but dozens of nominations are already in for the Rent Control Board, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District and Santa Monica College District.

The Santa Monica City Council nomination deadline has been extended to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. So far, 20 candidates have filed to compete for the four City Council seats up for election Nov. 6.

UPDATE: The city extended the council nomination deadline because two incumbents did not file for re-election. Election code therefore mandates the nomination period extend by 5 days, said assistant city clerk Denise Anderson-Warren, so that nonincumbents may file for candidacy. The two incumbents who did not file for re-election this year are Richard Bloom and Bobby Shriver.

See below for a list of candidates who have filed as of Friday, the original deadline for nomination applications.
