Local legal organizations cite her experience. Maienschein has dominated in endorsements by elected officials.
While Assemblymember Brian Maienschein has dominated political endorsements in the race for San Diego city attorney, Chief Deputy City Attorney Heather Ferbert has been endorsed by seven out of eight legal organizations making endorsements in the race. Maienschein has been endorsed by the San Diego Deputy District Attorneys Association, while Ferbert has been endorsed by six local bar associations and the union that represents the city's deputy city attorneys.
That was confirmed in August by an outside firm the city hired to conduct an independent analysis. The city attorney plays a key role in advising the mayor and council on land-use decisions, lawsuits and the legality of proposed city policies. The job also includes overseeing misdemeanor prosecutions. Termed-out City Attorney Mara Elliott, whom Ferbert and Maienschein are vying to replace, has also endorsed Ferbert.
