Seven candidates seek Morgan Hill mayor, City Council seats

The Morgan Hill mayor s seat and two City Council districts are at stake this November, with all three incumbents seeking reelection in their respective posts. With the Nov. 3 election less than a month away, Mayor Mark Turner is seeking his third term in office — and first four-year term since the mayoral seat changed from two years to four with the 2024 passing of Measure B. Turner is being challenged by two candidates to unseat him from the at-large position: Deborah Africa and Kristopher Clayton. Two City Council incumbents are also looking to hold onto their seats in the upcoming election. In northeast District B, incumbent Yvonne Martinez Beltran — who last month was censured by her colleagues — is looking to retain her spot at the dais against one challenger, Steven Hayes. In District D, located on the eastern side of the city, incumbent Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Librers is being challenged by Dolores Alvarado.
