Carson Council District 4: John Hollaway Leads Arleen Rojas by 59 Votes

CARSON, Los Angeles County — 2026 election update. Only 59 votes separate the two candidates in Carson’s District 4 City Council contest in the current unofficial results.

Reported results

John Hollaway has 2,550 votes (50.59%), compared with 2,491 (49.41%) for Arleen Rojas. In separate District 2, Jim Dear leads Derek Haskell 3,720 to 1,177.

What voters decided

Districts 2 and 4 are different geographic electorates. The District 4 margin could change as county election workers process additional eligible ballots; it is not a final winner declaration. Carson’s Measure CU is another independent ballot question and should not be conflated with council races.
