San Diego City Attorney | Live Election Results

   

Henry Foster III, chief of staff for County Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe, held a big lead Wednesday in the San Diego City Council District 4 seat -- his boss' old position.

The District 4 seat, which represents south and east San Diego neighborhoods such as Encanto, Lincoln Park, Skyline and Paradise Hills, has been vacant since Montgomery Steppe was elected to the Board of Supervisors.

Montgomery Steppe's last action in the role was to push Council President Sean Elo-Rivera into another term in that role by a 5-4 margin.

The move was contentious among the more moderate council members -- although the nonpartisan council was made up of nine Democrats, so the scale is relative. New blood in the vacant council seat will likely have an impact on the dynamic of the council.

Elo-Rivera held a lead in his reelection attempt for City Council District 9 -- which represents the mid-city area, including College Area, Rolando, City Heights, Mountain View and Talmadge.

Elo-Rivera was originally elected to the president's role on Dec. 6, 2021, replacing Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell.

In City Council District 3, which represents downtown and the city core, incumbent Councilman Stephen Whitburn took an early lead over his three opponents.

Whitburn was instrumental in getting the camping prohibition law passed and has focused on getting unhoused people into shelter and off the streets, along with approving thousands of homes in his role a member of the council's Land Use and Housing Committee.

The leadership of Council Districts 1, 5 and 7 -- represented by Joe LaCava, Marni von Wilpert and Raul Campillo respectively -- will not change. Those leaders ran unopposed in their reelection bids.

In a statement Tuesday night, Von Wilpert said she was "very proud to have earned the trust" of her community over the past four years.

"From Scripps Ranch to the San Pasqual Valley, from Rancho Penasquitos and Carmel Mountain Ranch to Rancho Bernardo, I've worked hard to ensure that the city always puts the safety and well-being of our residents first," Von Wilpert said. "We've removed firearms from those who pose a potential threat, protected our communities against wildfire risk, and fought for working families who are being priced out of the middle class.

"This election is an affirmation of our direction and our values, and I know that my mandate is to deliver even more for our region and build off of our successes," she added.
