Los Gatos won’t hold council elections in November as incumbents get reappointed

There are no elections in Los Gatos this year because no one in town stepped up to challenge the incumbents, guaranteeing two councilmembers another four years in office.

Councilmembers Matthew Hudes and Maria Ristow are up for reelection, but with no challengers the Town Council appointed them to the governing body for the next four years in a 4-0-1 vote, rather than host a costly November election. Hudes abstained from the vote.
