City Councilmember John Mirisch has confirmed to the Courier that he will run for a fifth term. His candidacy in the June 2026 municipal election will challenge the legality of the Term Limits provision of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) 2-1-21, which states that city councilmembers and city treasurers are limited to three lifetime terms in office.
BHMC 2-1-21 was overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2022 as Measure TL. Mirisch was elected to his fourth term simultaneously with the measure’s passage.
