Larry Turner, the San Diego mayoral candidate who lost to incumbent Todd Gloria in November, criticizes city election rules that prevented him from mentioning his Marine Corps service on the ballot. While City Council candidate Terry Hoskins was allowed to include his military experience, Turner's description was limited to 'law enforcement first responder' due to his current role as a police community relations officer.
San Diego mayoral candidate Larry Turner raised concerns Monday about city election rules that prohibit his ballot description from including his military service but that allow a City Council candidate to mention his.
Terry Hoskins, a candidate for San Diego Council District 9 who was allowed to include his military service in his ballot description, said Monday that he understands why Turner is frustrated. City elections rules allow candidates who are fully retired to include multiple previous jobs in their ballot description. That allowed Hoskins, who worked as a police officer after his military career, to describe himself as “retired military retired police.”
Fuentes noted that Turner’s statement of qualifications, a roughly 200-word summary of his background that describes his 23-year Marine Corps career, is available to voters in the Official Voter Information Guide they receive.
