Background

Mayor Imelda Aguilar sought for her second consecutive, third non-consecutive term. She was challenged by Luis "Louie" Casimiro, Conrado Miranda, and former Councilor Benjamin Gonzales.

Vice Mayor Luis "Louie" Bustamante was term limited. He ran as councilor instead. His party nominated April Aguilar-Nery, daughter of Mayor Imelda Aguilar, to run for his place. Aguilar-Nery was challenged by Antonio Abellar Jr.

Following Rep. Mark Villar's appointment as Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways in 2016, he was replaced by his wife, Emmeline Aglipay-Villar as interim representative.{{cite web |author=Cayabyab, M.J. |date=August 2, 2016 |title=Villar resigns as Las Piñas rep, takes on DPWH post |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/801945/villar-resigns-as-las-pinas-rep-takes-on-dpwh-post |accessdate=February 7, 2020 |work=Philippine Daily Inquirer}} The congressional seat were contested by Camille Villar and Jerry Delos Reyes.
