Early results in Tuesday’s special election to fill the District 1 San Diego County Supervisor seat indicate Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre holds a lead over Chula Vista Mayor John McCann.
Aguirre is ahead with 53.38% of the vote to McCann’s 46.62%, according to the San Diego Registrar of Voters, with 18.5% of ballots counted.
Former San Diego County District 1 Supervisor Nora 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.
McCann topped the field of seven candidates in the April 8 primary, drawing 43.58% of the vote. Aguirre earned the other spot in the runoff by finishing second with 31.62%.
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.
Aguirre is a Democrat and McCann is a Republican. The Board of Supervisors is technically a nonpartisan governing body, like all local government boards in California.
The current makeup is split between two Democrats — Terra Lawson-Remer and Monica Montgomery Steppe — and two Republicans, Joel Anderson and Jim Desmond.
Tuesday’s winner will fill the vacant seat for the remainder of the current term that ends in January 2029.
