Your vote Matters
Four years ago, K. Patrice Williams won her seat on the Fairfield City Council by just 12 votes.
Her son believes the difference may have been his Rodriguez High School friends, whom he encouraged to vote. It may have been the labor and union members who walked neighborhoods and made phone calls. It may have been the friends and volunteers who sent texts, delivered campaign signs, and reminded their neighbors to cast their ballots.
The truth is, no one knows which 12 votes made the difference. What we do know is this:
Every vote matters. Every conversation matters. Every volunteer matters.
Vote to reelect K. Patrice Williams on or before November 3, 2026.
Election Day is November 3, 2026
