San Ramon sees lively City Council election with mayor's office, District 1 seat on the line

FOR THE FIRST time since Bill Clinton was president, Dave Hudson won’t be on the San Ramon City Council next year.

The current mayor and longtime city councilmember is retiring from the council after 27 years — the longest tenured member since the city incorporated in 1983.

Current District 2 Councilmember Mark Armstrong — who has been on the board since filling Hudson’s seat in 2021 when Hudson was elected mayor — seeks to follow Hudson again into the mayor’s chair. As vice mayor in 2023, Armstrong filled in as mayor for several months in 2023 after Hudson suffered a stroke.

If elected, Armstrong — who was re-elected in 2022 with 62% of the vote — would leave his council seat two years early, possibly prompting the council to reappoint a successor, the same way he was appointed.
