The police officer and political novice congratulated the incumbent on his re-election in a statement Wednesday.
“It was a privilege to run for Mayor of our amazing city, and it is a privilege to continue to serve San Diegans as your police officer working hard to keep you safe,” Turner said in a statement. “Cynthia and I extend our congratulations to Mayor Gloria on his hard-fought reelection.”By Wednesday evening’s vote-tally release by county election officials, that chance had narrowed to nil.
With only about 77,000 ballots still outstanding throughout the entire county, Gloria was leading Turner by more than 58,000 votes, for a margin of more than 10 percentage points., as San Diego voters endorsed the existing leadership team at City Hall. They also re-elected two City Council members by comfortable margins and chose the outgoing city attorney’s preferred successor for the only open job.
Gloria said last week that voters had spoken loudly that they wanted this team to continue its efforts. “We have so much more work ahead of us,” he said. “The challenges our great city faces are very, very real. But I’m more confident than ever we have the ability to come together and tackle every single one of them.”They didn’t create the homeless encampment.
