The county labels this release preliminary/unofficial and vote-by-mail results only. No vote-center precincts had reported in this snapshot. Zero precincts reporting does not mean no ballots were counted: the figures above are processed mail ballots.

Percentages describe reported votes in this contest, not the percentage of all eligible voters or all expected ballots. Additional ballots and verification can change totals and margins. Read the official Alameda County results and check later updates.

FREMONT — Desrie Campbell and Keith Parker are the qualified candidates for the November 3, 2026, District 2 council election, according to the city’s candidate list. The seat carries a four-year term and is elected by district residents.

Desrie Campbell: finances, climate and coordinated services

Campbell’s campaign priorities emphasize financial stability, sustainable growth, police staffing and implementation of the city’s climate plan. She also advocates coordination among county agencies, providers and regional partners in responding to homelessness.

Her campaign presents these priorities as a continuation of her council work. Its claims about balanced budgets and staffing accomplishments are campaign descriptions; this article does not independently audit those claims.

Keith Parker: prevention and business access

In his first-person Candidate Connection responses, Parker emphasizes preventing people from losing housing and matching assistance to individual circumstances. He calls for a fully staffed police department and faster processes for businesses seeking to open in Fremont.

He also advocates safe, efficient streets and more responsive communication between elected officials and residents. His campaign website is identified in published candidate materials, but could not be fully accessed in this review.

The comparison shows shared attention to safety and homelessness, with Campbell emphasizing existing plans and interagency coordination and Parker emphasizing prevention and business-opening procedures. It does not establish the cost or implementation timetable of either agenda.

What has been verified about voting?

The reviewed sources do not establish the personal voting dates, methods or locations of these candidates. Their campaign platforms are not proof of voting appearances. No polling-place photograph or quotation is attributed to them here.

These are nonpartisan council contests. Fremont’s mayoral term continues to November 2028, so this is not a 2026 mayoral race. This report does not declare a winner.
