The 2022 election of Simon Silva, who died unexpectedly of cancer before the election but after his name could be removed from the ballot, is why Chula Vista is having a special election on Nov. 7.
Democrats endorsed Silva, a member of their party anyway, because his win would trigger a special election when another Democratic candidate would have a shot.The special election will cost Chula Vista taxpayers between $1.4 and $2 million. There are three candidates on the November ballot, which means there’s a likely chance of a runoff election, which will add to the expense.
Miesfeld started his legal career as a trial attorney for a private law firm. He joined Chula Vista’s City Attorney Office in 1998 to help build its litigation branch.“When you’re in private practice, it’s disputes between people and entities about money,” he said. “I could be a really good attorney and save people money or make people money, but when I went to the city of Chula Vista, it was a different mindset.
“I don’t have any political connections,” he said. “I’m not looking for individual endorsements because I don’t want to owe anybody anything.”
