Chula Vista City Councilmembers again overrule Republican MayorJohnMcCann to fill vacant District 3 seat. McCann wanted voters to elect their representative in a special election, but Democrats disregarded that, and appointed their own candidate.
CHULA VISTA – Chula Vista’s District 3 City Council seat was left open after former Councilmember Steve Padilla was elected into the California State Senate.
City leaders and constituents have been wrapped in an ongoing debate as to how the seat should be filled. Some leaders want the seat to be assigned via appointment, many others hope for a special election. It was revealed that one of the candidates for the city council position, Devonna Almagro, may have been dishonest regarding her qualifications for the position, prompting a protests on Jan. 31 by the community.That same day, Chula Vista City Council met to determine who will be the next District 3 councilmember. If City Council remains unable to choose an appointee by Feb. 3, the position will be determined via special election.
Many Chula Vista residents expressed outrage over city council’s choice to fill the seat themselves. Residents told KUSI’s Rafer Weigel that they deserve to vote for their representative, as the voters have valid concerns for who the appointed District 3 representative will be.
This is the second major instance of the all Democrat Chula Vista City Council working against their newly elected Republican Mayor, in favor of party politics over the will of the people.KUSI’s Rafer Weigel reported live with Chula Vista Mayor John McCann with all the details on the now resolved situation.
