Presumed 2026 challenger to Elk Grove Mayor files papers

With 14 months until the 2026 November general election, one person has filed papers displaying an intention to run for Elk Grove mayor.



Elk Grove resident Roger Banos-Gonzalez has filed a California Form 510 with the Elk Grove City Clerk. The Form 501, a Candidate Intention Statement, was filed on August 20.

See some of his posts on X below.
