SAN DIEGO - San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and San Diego police officer Larry Turner are headed to a November runoff, with the incumbent holding a nearly 27-point lead in his reelection bid.
His term has been a challenging one, as San Diego faced a slew of problems, including increasing homelessness and housing costs, the rising threat of fentanyl and most recently, questions about the city's infrastructure following the Jan. 22 storms. "The only thing stopping us from solving this crisis is the lack of will and courage," he said."No more half-measures."
Turner has denied the allegations. 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.
Her priorities include building"pathways to housing and homeownership for all San Diegans," making all neighborhoods clean and safe and increasing transparency at City Hall.
