San Diego County Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer resigns citing safety concerns. The Board of Supervisors must choose between a quick appointment or a special election to fill the vacant seat.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors faces another vacancy after Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer unexpectedly resigned, citing 'personal safety and security reasons.' The board must decide whether to appoint a replacement quickly or hold a special election , weighing the need for public engagement against the time it takes to fill the seat. A special election would leave District 1 without representation for months, but an appointment bypasses community input.
The board has not yet indicated its plan but will likely discuss next steps at its January 7 meeting. The recent District 4 special election provides some insight into the process, which could cost an estimated $4.8 million and take several months to complete
