Elected members of the San Diego County Democratic Party voted tonight (July 8) by roughly 60 to 1 to endorse City Attorney Mike Aguirre for re-election. Prior to the June 3 primary, members of the central committee backed no candidate; Aguirre missed the endorsement by 1 vote, and went on to come in second to Republican-financed Judge Jan Goldsmith by 32 to 29 percent. The two will be in a runoff in November. Aguirre is hoping for a big Democratic turnout in the national election to boost his chances.
