The Pasadena City Council is currently engaged in a process to fill the District 3 vacancy by appointment, for a short-term period, until such time as the elected representative can be chosen by the voters later this year and assume office on May 6, 2013.

Five residents have filed the required applications to be considered for the temporary appointment. The five are Joel Bryant, Brian Carmody, Sharon Graham Higuera, Tarek Shawky and Craig Washington.
