During a special meeting on Monday, the Santa Clarita City Council appointed councilmember Jason Gibbs to fill the Area 3 seat starting in December.
Gibbs’ seat on the City Council is up for re-election due to his current term expiring this year.
With the 2024 election being the first-ever by-district election of the City Council, Gibbs was running for re-election unopposed.
Due to Gibbs not facing any opponents, the City council had two decisions: to appoint him to the Area 3 seat or place him on the ballot, allowing the chance for write-in candidates, Gibbs said.
“There were two options. The first they chose was because no one else filed paperwork,” Gibbs said. “I was the only nominee for the Area 3 seat, so the City had the ability under the election code to appoint me to the position.”
Gibbs will finish his current term with the City Council and will be sworn into the Area 3 Seat in December.
“Thank you to all my friends, supporters, and my amazing family during this election cycle!,” Gibbs said in a social media post. “I will always keep a best for the city attitude as we transition into District voting going forward, but to my District 3 constituents, I hope this appointment is a testament to your confidence in me and my unwavering commitment to this beautiful city.”
