Chula Vista will have a new mayor for the first time since 2014. Whoever is elected will have to address the city’s structural budget deficit and try to bring a four-year university to the South Bay.
The city’s structural budget deficit has become a top issue in the mayoral race, but the six candidates running for mayor have different ideas on how to address it.
“We’re a city that has a drainage of sales tax every day when people drive up north to San Diego for their jobs,” said Ammar Campa-Najjar, who ran two unsuccessful Congressional races in East County before running for mayor of Chula Vista. “We’re simply not spending where we live and we simply don’t have enough amenities to attract people from outside the city to spend, shop and play here.
“I would invest in getting this land shovel ready,” he said. “Right now, if an employer wants to come to Chula Vista, the city is telling them that they’re four years out before they can start operating. They don’t want to hear that. They go somewhere else.”
