Chula Vista Mayor John McCann and Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre are set for a runoff election on July 1 for the District 1 Board of Supervisors seat in San Diego County. McCann is currently leading with 43. 58% of the votes, followed by Aguirre at 31. 62%, with San Diego City Councilwoman Vivian Moreno trailing in third at 13%. McCann has expressed gratitude to his supporters, emphasizing his commitment to public safety, homelessness solutions, and addressing the Tijuana sewage crisis.

Conversely, Aguirre has framed the runoff as a critical choice between Democratic values and a Republican agenda, advocating for economic security for all residents. Both candidates have outlined their platforms, with McCann focusing on law enforcement funding and Aguirre on working-class issues. The election follows the departure of former Supervisor Nora Vargas, which has drawn a competitive field of candidates. With the runoff approaching, both mayors are gearing up to present their visions for the future of San Diego County. The stakes are high as voters prepare to make their decision on July 1.
