From Point Richmond to the waterfront, bring your project together with coordinated mail, signs, print and web. LCP turns your final copy, photographs and office details into a consistent set of materials. Incorporated: 1905. Council: Six districts and a citywide Mayor. Local setting: San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay peninsula. Richmond occupies a peninsula between San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. Its six council districts and separately elected mayor make the distinction between a district office and a citywide office especially important. A peninsula city shaped by industry and wartime migration. Richmond sits on the western side of Contra Costa County, on a peninsula separating San Francisco Bay to the south from San Pablo Bay to the north. The City’s history page describes 32 miles of shoreline. This is a West County setting with waterfront industry, a downtown rail hub and connections across the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, rather than the inland valley geography of eastern Contra Costa. The City’s history traces Ohlone settlement, the Rancho San Pablo land grant and the establishment of Santa Fe’s western rail terminus at Point Richmond. Richmond incorporated in 1905. During World War II, the Kaiser shipyards on the south shoreline brought large-scale migration and rapid population growth; the subsequent shipyard closures required a substantial postwar economic adjustment. Six districts and a separately elected mayor. Richmond’s council roster identifies six district representatives alongside the mayor. The Council appoints the City Manager to implement its policies and manage municipal departments and programs. A council district is a representation boundary within the city, not a separate municipality. The City’s District Elections page links an interactive district tool and directs readers to its current redistricting resources. Its older transition materials explain the move away from at-large council elections. Use the current district resources when identifying an address or labelling a council office. The City Clerk: elections, records and meeting documents. The Richmond City Clerk’s Office provides election information, public-record requests, agendas and minutes, ordinances, resolutions and board or commission resources. Its office is at 450 Civic Center Plaza, with a published main telephone number of 510-620-6513. The Clerk’s 2026 general-election page identifies a mayoral contest and states that Districts 2, 3 and 4 were resolved at the primary, with no general municipal election for those district seats. That distinction matters when reading a year’s election information: a list of district terms is not necessarily a list of contests still on the November ballot. County resources alongside Richmond’s municipal information. Contra Costa County Elections separately provides registration and voting information, district maps and candidate resources. Its Run for Office page includes campaign-finance information, public campaign-disclosure access and routes to voter data and maps. For Richmond office information and municipal records, use the City Clerk’s pages; for county election services, use the county’s Elections site. The county page expressly describes electronic campaign-report filing for county, school and special-district candidates, so that instruction should not be substituted for Richmond’s municipal filing guidance. A shoreline publication and coordinated campaign brief. For a Richmond heritage or community publication, gather dated shipyard photographs, neighborhood captions and current civic links. LCP can lay out a booklet, companion web page and event pieces with a consistent visual identity. For campaign materials, supply the exact mayoral or council-district office wording, final disclosures, quantities and delivery requirements.

Use the interactive mapping and current redistricting links on the City’s District Elections page. The council roster identifies Districts 1 through 6; the mayor is a separately elected citywide office. Are Richmond’s Districts 2, 3 and 4 on the November 2026 general-election ballot? The City’s 2026 general-election page says those districts were decided by majority votes at the primary and no general municipal election would be held for those seats. It separately lists the mayoral contest. Where are Richmond council minutes and ordinances available? The City Clerk’s Office links agendas and minutes, ordinances, resolutions and a public-record request service. These are municipal resources, distinct from county voter services. Does Richmond’s City Clerk issue birth certificates or marriage licenses? No. The Clerk’s page explicitly directs marriage licenses and birth and death certificates to the County Clerk rather than Richmond’s municipal office.
