Early results in the District 1 Supervisor race show Chula Vista Mayor John McCann with a narrow lead, capturing 43.5% of the vote, while Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre trails at 31.7%. District 3 Councilmember Vivian Moreno follows with 13%.
Over 57,000 votes have been counted so far. McCan must secure 50% of the vote in order for the race to be officially called. If no candidate reaches that threshold, the election will go to a July 1 runoff between McCann, a Republican, and Aguirre, a Democrat.
The stakes of this election will shift the board’s partisan balance, currently split between two Democrats and two Republicans.
