Desmond has strong showing in primary election

San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond established himself as the clear front-runner to replace termed-out Bill Horn as the District 5 representative on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors after winning 45.54 percent of the vote in the June 5 primary election.

Desmond garnered 52,508 votes while runner-up Michelle Gomez collected 26,001 (22.55 percent). Gomez, a legislative analyst and community advocate, earned the opportunity to face Desmond again in the November election by edging Oceanside City Councilman Jerry Kern, who came in third with 21,984 votes (19.07).

Following are San Diego County primary election results of select races that the Village News previewed. The vote totals shown are as of June 10 and election results are not final until certified.

"We are going through what is known as the 'canvass' of the election which includes processing/verifying mail ballots and provisional ballots that are eligible to be counted," said Michael Vu, Registrar of Voters for the County of San Diego. "We have 30 days from election day to certify the election and most likely it will take all 30 days before the election is considered final/certified."
