Tuesday’s elections gave Democrats control of all nine seats on the San Diego City Council for the first time, paving the way for more progressive policies but raising concerns the council will ignore the priorities of conservative voters.
Incumbent Councilmembers Jennifer Campbell, Vivian Moreno and Monica Montgomery Steppe all held big leads in their re-election bids in early returns Tuesday night. While those debates are likely to feature less acrimony and disagreement, the council could be at risk of approving policies that generate backlash they didn’t anticipate because they were less aware of contrary opinions and perspectives.
