John McCann concedes to Paloma Aguirre in District 1 special election
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Chula Vista Mayor John McCann has conceded to his opponent, Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, in the race for the District 1 seat on the County Board of Supervisors. McCann's campaign sent a statement confirming McCann congratulated Aguirre Wednesday morning. Aguirre takes early lead in San Diego County D1 Supervisor special election 'Despite the outcome, I am proud that my campaign presented a clear statement in support of reducing the cost of living, getting the homeless off the streets and keeping our community safe,' McCann said in the statement. 'These are the principles that have guided me as Mayor of Chula Vista and will continue to be important objectives as I work on behalf of the city I love.' He continued, 'I called to congratulate Mayor Aguirre this morning and offer my assistance with the critical challenges facing South County. We have worked closely together to address the ongoing Tijuana River sewage pollution and that environmental crisis will continue to be an important partnership for us. Additionally, I know we will work together on improving South County homeless programs and strengthening public safety.' McCann also thanked the volunteers who supported his campaign.

'I've spent my life, from organizing in forgotten neighborhoods to standing up as a small-town Mayor, fighting for working people and to fix the sewage crisis, and I'm not going to the County to back down — I'm going to double down and deliver,' Aguirre stated. 'Now, let's get to work.' Senator Steve Padilla (D-San Diego) issued the following statement, congratulating Aguirre: 'San Diego County has elected a leader of conscience, tenacity, and vision. Paloma Aguirre is a tireless champion for working families, a dedicated public servant, and a dear friend. As Mayor of Imperial Beach, she has been a critical partner in our work to bring meaningful solutions to the ongoing cross border pollution crisis plaguing southern San Diego and I look forward to continuing that partnership as she steps into this new role.
