McCann (R), Aguirre (D) locked in for Board of Supervisors District 1 runoff

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The stage for a special runoff election to fill San Diego County’s first supervisorial district has been set — it will be a battle between South Bay mayors.

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters released the last batch of unofficial ballot returns from this month’s race for the seat on Friday, confirming Chula Vista Mayor John McCann and Imperial Beach Paloma Aguirre will be advancing to a head-to-head contest in July.

With the final drop, McCann remained in first place with 42.38% of the vote, a 10-point advantage above Aguirre but well below the threshold needed to win the race outright. The Chula Vista mayor has held about the same margin since the first batch of Election Night results.

Aguirre, who similarly took an early lead over other candidates in the first returns, remained in a comfortable second with 32.33% — more than 15 points ahead of the next closest candidate, San Diego City Councilmember Vivian Moreno.
