Change is coming to Paso Robles City Hall. Mayor John Hamon is not seeking another term, leaving three candidates competing to replace him, while two sitting councilmembers are hoping to keep their seats. All of this means that voters could reshape the city’s leadership this November. The three candidates vying to fill the city’s top seat are Bill Britton, Dr. Faith Frankel, and Chris Rogalla. “I feel like all the experiences I’ve had, all the things I’ve done, really are what we need in Paso Robles to help us kind of adjust, get ready for the future, listen to people and take care of what we’re doing and focus in on just Paso Robles,” said Paso Robles mayoral candidate Bill Britton. Britton, 70, comes to the race with a background in both the military and technology. He served 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and was assigned in California four different times.
