  • On Tuesday, voters in South County participated in a special election runoff for the District 1 seat, choosing between Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre and Chula Vista Mayor John McCann.
  • The vacancy created by Nora Vargas’s resignation in January led to a runoff that will determine which party controls the five-member San Diego County Board of Supervisors, split 2–2.
  • Early results show Aguirre leading McCann by nearly 7%, with 36,479 votes , including mail and early in-person ballots, as counted by the Registrar of Voters.
  • The winner will serve until January 2029, acting as a tie-breaker on the 2–2 board and representing about 650,000 residents.
