There’s a interesting mayor’s race going on in San Diego. Jerry Sanders is the incumbent with some ethical issues. Steve Francis is running as the outsider using only his own money. Both are Republicans.
Francis had been gaining ground until the latest SUSA poll: (5/1 in parentheses)
Sanders 42% (40)
Francis 35% (36)
There are a few minor candidates on the ballot.
This looks it’s going to a runoff. Now San Diego hasn’t had a Democratic mayor since ___.
And both candidates are getting really nasty with attack ads.
Despite a nearly even split in partisan registratinon in the city, the GOP has dominated local politics. It’s a shame a Democrat can’t step up to the plate. Then there could be some real change.
I think the problem is because of the libertarian
bent of the area, and among large cities in America, immigration is a hot button here.
Any thoughts?
