The lawsuit filing predated Tuesday's primary election, in which Turner appears positioned to hold onto second place behind Mayor Todd Gloria, sending both candidates to the November general election.
The lawsuit alleged Turner should have been disqualified from the mayoral race because he allegedly was not a resident or registered voter in the city of San Diego 30 days prior to filing his nomination papers, as required. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of San Diego resident Helen Michelle VanDiver, alleged that Turner was primarily living in El Cajon during that period.
"Since the filing of the lawsuit, my client has been subjected to personal attacks challenging both her integrity and motives," said Ottilie, who also alleged people have attacked VanDiver's son, Shawn VanDiver. Turner has denied the allegations raised in the lawsuit. A statement from his campaign states that he lived in Bonsall in parts of 2016 and 2017, and between 2020 and early 2023 his family stayed in Alpine, but he otherwise has lived in San Diego. Turner said that during the period in question he was living in East Village, but has since moved to Ocean Beach.
