圣迭戈县第5区监事席位选举日投票 圣马科斯市长琼斯对决克拉赫尔
美国加利福尼亚州圣迭戈县北部的选民11月3日迎来县监事会第5区席位的决选投票，圣马科斯市长丽贝卡·琼斯（Rebecca Jones）与民主党人士凯尔·克拉赫尔（Kyle Krahel）争夺这一空缺席位。截至投票日当晚，该席位尚未宣布结果。
该席位因任期届满的监事吉姆·德斯蒙德（Jim Desmond）离任而空出，德斯蒙德转而竞选联邦众议院第48国会选区席位。琼斯与克拉赫尔在今年6月的初选中位列前两名，晋级本次决选。第5区是圣迭戈县面积最大的选区，居民约68.5万至70万人，涵盖埃斯孔迪多、欧申赛德、圣马科斯和维斯塔四个主要城市，还包括彭德尔顿营军事设施及多个原住民保留地和非建制社区。县监事会负责为非建制社区提供治安、公共卫生等主要服务，是县级治理的关键机构。
琼斯自2018年12月起担任圣马科斯市长，此前任市议员11年，她主张削减浪费、提高效率，并反对扩大监事任期的县宪章修正案和一项全县销售税提案。克拉赫尔曾任县民主党主席，现任联邦众议员迈克·莱文（Mike Levin）的副幕僚长，他主张对县政府约90亿美元预算逐项审计，并支持利用县有土地建设可负担住房。投票结果将决定北县地区未来数年的县级政策走向。
San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Race Goes to Voters: Jones Faces Krahel
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, California — Voters in northern San Diego County, California went to the polls on November 3 for the District 5 seat on the Board of Supervisors, where San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones faces Democratic candidate Kyle Krahel for the open seat. No winner had been called as of election night.
The seat opened when Supervisor Jim Desmond reached his term limit and left to run for Congress in California's 48th District. Jones and Krahel finished as the top two candidates in the June primary and advanced to this runoff. District 5 is the county's largest supervisorial district, home to roughly 685,000 to 700,000 residents, and covers the cities of Escondido, Oceanside, San Marcos and Vista, as well as Camp Pendleton, several tribal reservations and unincorporated communities. The Board of Supervisors provides key county services, including law enforcement and public health, to unincorporated areas.
Jones has been mayor of San Marcos since December 2018, after 11 years on the City Council; she campaigns on cutting waste and improving efficiency, and opposes a county charter amendment extending supervisor terms and a countywide sales tax measure. Krahel, a former chair of the county Democratic Party and now deputy chief of staff to Rep. Mike Levin, calls for a line-by-line audit of the county's roughly $9 billion budget and supports building affordable housing on county-owned land. The outcome will shape county policy in the North County for years to come.
