Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty will outline his priorities for the city’s future during his second State of the City address Thursday morning at the Crocker Art Museum.

Elk Grove City Councilmember Sergio Robles led challenger Peggy Parks in early election night returns Tuesday as he sought a second term representing the city’s 4th District. As of 8:01 p.m., Robles had 65% of votes tallied, compared with 35% for Parks, according to unofficial Sacramento County election results . The initial results reflected ballots mailed before Election Day, with more votes left to be counted. Robles, 33, was first elected in 2022 and previously served on the city’s Planning Commission. A member of the California Army National Guard, he emphasized housing affordability, support for small businesses and programs helping first-time homebuyers. Parks, 58, a community volunteer, emphasized homelessness, traffic safety and improving city infrastructure. She also wanted to expand safety education about electric bicycles and hold regular office hours to hear from residents. Both candidates identified housing and community services as priorities , although they proposed different approaches to addressing the city’s needs.

The contest was the only Elk Grove City Council race on the November ballot. In August, the City Council unanimously appointed Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen and
