Voters also approved measures to change city treasurer and city clerk positions to appointed positions

After having served on the dais for three decades, National City voters have elected Ron Morrison to a new term as mayor.

“It’s time to put the election behind us. Everyone spent the last two years campaigning and now it’s time to get to work,” said Morrison.He defeated Councilmember Jose Rodriguez, in what had been a close race for weeks as they were less than 100 votes apart. Morrison earned 36.7 percent of the vote, Rodriguez 36 percent and outgoing Mayor Alejandra Sotelo-Solis 27 percent.

“I’ve been blessed to serve my community for 14 years,” she said. “People are still reaching out on how to get the resources and that’s what leadership is. ... Mentorship is still at the forefront.” Filipino/API residents make up nearly 20 percent of the city’s population, according to the 2020 U.S. Census data. Some Filipino Americans have run for office, but representation on the council has been absent over the past two decades.
