Meet our 2026 Honorary Mayor of Carmichael Candidates! 

Four candidates for 2026 Honorary Mayor of Carmichael: Haley Maco, Mike Rockenstein, Martin Ross, Lilia Darbinyan.

 

🌟 The 2026 Honorary Mayor of Carmichael Race is ON! 🌟

Carmichael’s favorite community tradition is back and it’s time to cast your vote for impact! The Honorary Mayor of Carmichael race is a decades-long tradition that blends fun, friendly competition with heartfelt fundraising, all in the name of service and local pride.

Following in the footsteps of honorary mayors like Dr. Kawanaa D. Carter (2025)Miranda Viani (2024), and Kerri Mandes (2023), this year’s four candidates are stepping up to raise funds and awareness for causes close to their hearts.

🗳️ How It Works:

  • Each candidate selects a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit to support.
  • Every $1 = 1 vote, and every vote helps drive real change.
  • 75% of the funds raised go directly to the candidate’s nonprofit.
  • 25% supports the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce, powering our mission of community connection and local business success.
  • The candidate who raises the most money is crowned Honorary Mayor of Carmichael for the 2026 year!
  • To qualify, each candidate must raise a minimum of $500 in votes.

🎉 Why It Matters:

This isn’t just a title, it’s a movement. The Honorary Mayor race has helped generate tens of thousands of dollars over the years for local nonprofits, uniting neighbors, friends, and businesses in the spirit of giving. Your vote is more than a dollar — it’s an investment in Carmichael’s future.

Honorary Mayor Mingle on July 30, 5:30-7:00 PM at Milagro Centre. RSVP at carmichaelchamber.com.

 And the Winner Is...

Crowned with celebration at the beloved Best of Carmichael Awards Show on November 14th!
