November 2026 Elections — Three Council Seats & the Town's Future Direction
active• halfmoonbay
Half Moon Bay's November 2026 City Council election will determine the direction of every issue described above — housing compliance, farmworker dignity, Measure D reform, and coastal resilience. Three Council seats are up for election in November 2026 — Districts 1 (Brownstone), 4 (Ruddock), and 5 (Penrose) — with candidate filing opening in July 2026. The election comes at a moment of unusual civic intensity: the Measure D map amendment will be on the same ballot, the state attorney general referral threat is active, and the 555 Kelly Avenue project's financing deadline will require Council action in 2027 and 2028 — meaning whoever wins in November will be directly responsible for the community's most consequential decisions. The November 2024 election — where Measure R, a sales tax increase, passed with 64% — demonstrated that Half Moon Bay voters are willing to invest in their community's future when asked clearly and honestly.
