Antioch District 4 Councilwoman Monica Wilson announced on her official Facebook page, Tuesday, July 28, 2026, that she will run for a fifth term. First elected in 2014, she is currently the longest-serving member of the council. Wilson, currently in her fourth, or rather third-and-a-half term as she was re-elected in 2018, then in 2020 for a two-year term following the City’s move to district elections, then again in 2022 for another full, four-year term.

Wilson also posted the above campaign flier with the slogan, “Proven Experience. Trusted Leadership.”

In her announcement Wilson wrote, “I’m proud to announce that I am running for re-election to the Antioch City Council.

“Antioch is at a critical moment. We face real challenges, but we also have important opportunities to strengthen our neighborhoods, support families, and build a more stable and resilient local economy.

“As your Councilmember, I have always believed in collaborative leadership, transparent decision-making, and practical solutions that deliver real results for Antioch residents. I’m proud of the work we have done together, and I know there is more work ahead.

“When I was first elected, I made history as Antioch’s first African American woman to serve on the City Council. Today, I remain just as committed to serving this community with integrity, experience, and a deep belief in Antioch’s future.

“I’m running for re-election because Antioch needs steady, proven leadership focused on results, stability, and long-term progress.

“I would be honored to continue serving the residents of District 4 and working every day to move Antioch forward.”

The election for council districts 1 and 4 will be on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. So far, Wilson faces one potential opponent, former Antioch Police Oversight Commission Chair Sandra White, who is running against Wilson for a third time. Filing period closes at 5:00 p.m. Friday, August 7, 2026.
