The gap got a little bigger between the candidates vying for Chula Vista Mayor. As of Wednesday afternoon, Republican City Councilman John McCann leads Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar by more than 10%. That lead was less than 7% Tuesday night.
Surprisingly, the mayor’s race is hardly the most intriguing race in Chula Vista.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Simon Silva leads Dan Smith by only 149 votes in the race for Chula Vista City Attorney. Silva died in September from cancer, and it was too late to replace him on the ballot.Smith, a Chula Vista-based defense attorney, said he was optimistic he will eventually take the lead as more mail-in ballots are counted.
“Every time I think I’ve seen it all, something else pops up like that,” shrugged McCann, who hoped there aren’t any more surprises in the next few days. Current Chula Vista City Attorney Glen Googins told NBC 7 he will remain in office if Simon Silva wins. He said a special election will cost the city at least $1 million.
