Aguirre said residents "now have a fighter at the county Board of Supervisors who will hold the line against the Trump administration."

The first returns in Tuesday’s special election for county supervisor show Paloma Aguirre, the Democratic mayor of Imperial Beach with a 6 point lead over her opponent John McCann.

Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre became the apparent winner this week in a San Diego County Board of Supervisors run-off election after Chula Vista Mayor John McCann conceded. Aguirre's unofficial victory, which is awaiting certification, gives Democrats control of the board.
