It’s now apparent that a majority of San Diego voters are shopping for a new Mayor after Todd Gloria fell to less than 50% in last week’s primary election. 

The incumbent Mayor seeking re-election now joins a list of damaged mayors who failed to garner more than half of the vote in a primary and limped into a head-to-head matchup where voters seemed willing to make a change at the top to push the City into a new direction. 

On Election Day last week, Gloria ended the night with 52.54% of the vote against four relatively unknown and completely underfunded -if not unfunded- opponents. 

Although some of Gloria’s supporters ran a trickster campaign to prop up the only Republican in the race and draw a weaker general election opponent, Gloria ended up in a runoff against retired US Marine Lt.
