Local elections was held in Valenzuela on May 13, 2019, within the Philippine general election. The voters elected elective local posts in the city: the mayor, vice mayor, the two Congressmen (or district representatives), and the councilors, six in each of the city's two legislative districts.
Mayoral and vice mayoral election
Incumbent mayor Rexlon "Rex" Gatchalian is on his second term as the mayor of Valenzuela. Prior to his election as mayor in 2013, he represented the first district of Valenzuela from 2007 to 2013. It is initially speculated that Rodrigo Duterte's common-law wife Honeylet Avanceña will run for mayor; however, the rumor is debunked by a COMELEC local officer.{{Cite news|url=https://news.mb.com.ph/2018/10/11/honeylet-avencena-not-running-for-mayor-in-valenzuela-comelec/|title=Honeylet Avenceña not running for mayor in Valenzuela – Comelec|work=Manila Bulletin News|access-date=2018-10-29|language=en-US}}
Incumbent vice mayor Lorena "Lorie" Natividad-Borja is on her first term as the vice mayor. Prior to her election as vice mayor in 2016, she was a member of the city council representing the second district from 2001 to 2007 and from 2010 to 2016.
