Brandon Vang
District 5 Council MemberDistrict 5 special election winner (March 18 2025), filling the 2022-cycle District 5 seat vacated by Luis Chavez. Sworn in April 10 2025 (abc30; GV Wire). Seat end follows the 2022 cycle: Rule: Fresno City Charter Art. III s.305, as quoted in the City of Fresno council report for Bill B-37 (agendas.fresno.gov ID 15-886, Oct 8 2015): a successor Councilmember 'officially assumes office' on the 'first Tuesday following the first Monday in January'; council resolution 22-947 applies it to the 2022 winners (2023-01-03). A four-year term therefore ends on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of January four years later. End = 2027-01-05.
