FALL RIVER — The 2025 Fall River mayoral election is 16 months away, but it looks like one potential candidate is dipping his toe into campaign headwaters early. 

 

Carlos Cesar, the longtime president of the Flint Neighborhood Association and a vacation guide, filed a statement of organization to run for mayor with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance in May. 

 

The OCPF posted Cesar’s organizing a committee for mayor on X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly after he filed notification with campaign finance. 

 

Cesar did not immediately return a request for comment, but the OCPF filing indicates that Jeffrey Gaudreau is the chairman of the committee and John Sylvia is the treasurer. 

 

A June campaign finance report shows that Cesar has $25 in his account that he loaned himself. 

 

He lists his political affiliation as unenrolled.
