Kelvin Coveduck
Candidate for City Council Member, Grover Beach, District 1
Kelvin Coveduck is a retired radiographer and Grover Beach resident. He filed his candidate intention statement on July 16, 2026 for the District 1 seat. He says he has attended roughly 90 percent of Planning Commission and City Council meetings over the past year, and describes himself as having no official political experience but 'real-time experience' from that involvement. He has worked with a citizens group called Save Grover Beach, which championed a building-height measure, and he began pushing for a City Council discussion on the city's changing skyline as early as October 2025. He has pledged that his campaign will be self-funded and will not accept donations from builders or developers.
