Chula Vista Mayor John McCann holds a lead over six challengers, including four elected officials, running to replace former San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas in her District 1 seat in Tuesday’s primary.
McCann has secured 43.48% of the vote, leading Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, who has received 31.71%. San Diego City Councilwoman Vivian Moreno follows with 12.97%.
The other candidates are Chula Vista Deputy Mayor Carolina Chavez; energy consultant Elizabeth Efird; business owner and former Imperial County Supervisor Louis Fuentes; and marketing firm associate Lincoln Pickard.
Vargas announced in late December that she would not serve her second term — despite winning re-election in November.
“Due to personal safety and security reasons, I will not take the oath of office for a second term,” she said in a statement at the time.
With a population of 650,000 residents, District 1 contains three cities: Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, and National City. It also holds 15 neighborhoods within the city of San Diego, including East Village, Mountain View and San Ysidro, and six unincorporated communities, including Bonita, East Otay Mesa and portion of Spring Valley.
If no candidate receives a majority of the votes on Tuesday, a runoff will take place July 1. The winner will fill the vacant seat until January 2029.
